Hot Cross Buns (Vegan, Gluten-free, Yeast-free, Oil-free)

Easter came and went so quickly! I hope you had a good time in your bubble. I’ve been working on this exciting yeast-free burger bun / bread roll recipe. I has an amazingly soft and quite fluffy.

With Easter around the corner, I decided to turn them into hot cross buns by adding some sweetness, spices and raisins. It worked out very well! Yay! 🙂

I’m still blown away how yummy these hot cross buns are, and how they are vegan, gluten-free, oil-free AND yeast-free.

Servings 6 buns

Ingredients

  

For the dough

• 120 g buckwheat flour
• 120 g rice flour
• 30 g corn flour
• 2-3 teaspoon mixed spice
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 100 g raisins
• 120 g cooked pumpkin
• 70 g coconut sugar
• 350 ml water
• 4 tablespoon psyllium fiber husk

For the glaze

• 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon hot water

For the crosses

• 1 tablespoon rice flour
• 1 teaspoon buckwheat flour
• 2 pinches guar gum
• 1 pinch baking powder
• 2-3 tablespoon water

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 210°C (top-/bottom heat)*. Prepare the glaze by mixing the ingredients in s small bowl or cup until dissolved.
• In a separate bowl, mix the ingredients for the crosses. The texture should be fairly thick and pasty, but thin enough to be able to pipe it easily.
• Blend pumpkin, coconut sugar and water shortly in a blender. Then add psyllium fiber husk and blend until smooth. Set aside.
• Mix the remaining ingredients for the dough in a bowl. Add the blended pumpkin mixture. Stir and knead the dough until it is combined.
• Form buns with wet and cold hands and place on baking tray. Then brush with the coconut glaze.
• Transfer the mixture for the crosses into a piping bag or icing bottle. Should it have thickened up too much, add a few more drops of water.
• Pipe the crosses onto the buns. Place the tray in the oven and bake for approx. 25 to 30 minutes.

Notes

*I actually heat my oven to 220°C. After placing the tray into the oven, the temperature usually dips down to 180°C and then slowly reaches 200°C. It’s quite an old electric oven. results may vary with different stoves. I recommend using an oven thermometer.
