Hot Cross Buns
Alternative Hot Cross Buns
Hello,
I am aware that their is a lot of threads regarding hot cross buns but as the title suggest I am looking for an alternative to the ordinary hot cross bun due to health reasons.
Requirments:
* No modern Wheat - I was thinking maybe 100% Khorasan / Kamut flour as this will probably give the lightest result without using wheat??
* Sourdough rather then bakers yeast as it is better for my digestion and will add to the flavour.

Delicious hot cross buns
First, I am very new to bread-baking, so I am bursting with pride to tell someone my little success story! I wanted to make hot cross buns, but wanted to make sure to make a tender rich dough and I wanted lots of fruit in it. So with great trepidation I actually adapted a recipe to fit. Those of you who bake regularly will chuckle at my naivete but I am just so tickled that it worked and not just tolerably well, even. These are actually the best hot cross buns I've ever had.
