hot-cross-buns

Happy Easter Gingis! What is a better way to celebrate easter than with a homemade Hot Cross Buns, one of the staples of the holiday. Hot cross buns are spiced semi-sweet buns, made with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg (I decided to add some Baharat spice to the dough), marked with a cross on top. The cross representing the crucifixion of Jesus, and the spices inside signifying the spices used to embalm him at his burial and may also include orange peel to reflect the bitterness of his time on the Cross. These beautiful buns are the best morning snack if you guys are looking for a semi-sweet breakfast. Just spread a nice amount of soft butter, sprinkle some sea salt, and you are set!
