Asked on 21 Mar 2018 by Mazzie I have tried the hot cross buns again but my dough breaks, is not elastic and doesn’t rise; what am I doing wrong? Lindsey, Food Editor replied Hello, It sounds like your dough was too dry. A spot more milk will make the dough easier to work with and rise better. A warm environment will increase the speed that the dough raises but the time varies and sometimes it needs much longer. Kind regards Lindsey Do you have a question for Delia or Lindsey?
