    Ingredients

    • 2 cups wholemeal flour
    • 2 cups high grade flour
    • 2 tbs caster sugar

    • 50g margarine

    Method

    1. Step 1

      In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk flours, sugar and yeast together.

    2. Step 2

      Add margarine, milk, egg and Marmite. Using a dough hook attachment, mix on a low speed until combined.

    3. Step 3

      Increase to high speed and knead until a smooth dough forms.

    4. Step 4

      Transfer to a greased bowl. Cover and place in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

      Once doubled in size, punch the air out of the dough and divide into 15 portions. Roll each portion into balls and place evenly spaced apart on a greased baking tray. Cover and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

    6. Step 6

      Preheat oven to 180°C.

    7. Step 7

      To make the crosses, place the Marmite in a piping bag. Pipe Marmite across the hot cross buns to make crosses.

    8. Step 8

      Bake for 20-25 minutes or until browned and cooked through.
