Hey Guys, Hot Cross Bun and Easter Hours update, and then an explanation and apology, up to you how far you read.
We will have Hot Cross Buns, this weekend (Saturday and Sunday), they are limited so first in first served. and next weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday), they to will be on limited amounts so first in first served.
We will be open as normal next weekend with no surcharge.
We won’t be open on Monday as we’re never open on a Monday.
Our Hot Cross Buns dilemma:
So after trying to find away to schedule them into our daily bake and routine , we just kept coming to the same problem we no longer have the fridge space to accomodate them.
The recipe we’ve developed and tweaked the past years is made over two days and includes our Sourdough Starter (Prof. J) aswell as a smidge of Yeast, Vanilla, Cardamon, French Earl Grey and Orange.
I feel that the ones we have baked so far this year have been subpar and lacking the depth we get from a bulk ferment.
Without the fridge space for a cool bulk ferment, or a cool enough area that lets them get the treatment they deserve. We can’t produce a bun I’m proud to serve.
I guess in short I don’t want to sell an average Hot Cross Bun for the sake of selling Hot Cross Buns, so for that I’m sorry.
I’m also sorry that I haven’t responded to all your messages for Hot Cross Buns, I let the anxiety build up, maybe I should have posted this early but I guess the fear of not performing gripped me a little to hard, so I’m sorry. Hopefully next year we can find a solution to accomodate them, like a bigger space….
