It's Good Friday! Let's Bake!

So as an expat Australian I'm forced to suffer certain indignities. One such transgression is the criminal absence of hot cross buns from the store shelves in the week leading up to Good Friday. Now I'm hardly a religiously observant man, but when Easter comes around I want my fucking buns! It's like Christmas without the Christmas pudding. It's just not right. Cats would chase dogs and we'd be living in Bizarro world.

Right now, stage one is complete. The dough has been mixed and risen once. The individual buns have been placed in the pan and are now slowly rising, ever so gradually puffing up via the miracle of chemistry into their final fluffy shapes. More to follow...
