  • Repeat with the other half
  • Roll each divided piece into a ball

  • Cover with cling film and allow to prod again for 15 - 30 mins
  • Brush the buns with a thing layer of egg wash and allow it to dry
  • Once it’s tacky, prepare a paste with flour & water and pour it into a piping bag
  • Pipe a line in one direction on the buns and then in the other direction so they represent crosses
  • It will need 30 mins to cook, but allow it to cook for 10 - 15 mins extra so the tops brown more and there is a contrast with the crosses
