HOT CROSS BUN BAKING
It's that time of year when we like to fill our kitchens with the spicy aroma of freshly baked hot cross buns.

Freshly baked hot cross buns will be available for sampling and recipes will be provided. You can also have your bread and sourdough baking questions answered by qualified bakers.
