It’s Official! Mellow Bakers is launched and we’ve picked our first group bake bread: Hot Cross Buns.
This bread happens to be a seasonal regular for Easter, although these spicy & fruity buns aren’t specifically religious in origin.
We’re baking the recipe from two sources, Bakers choosing between either the Hamelman Bread recipe on page 266 OR it’s online offspring, a variation given by Susan of WildYeastBlog.com, so even those who don’t currently own the book can join in and make the March bread with us.

This allows people to bake along even if they don’t have the book the group uses.
Registration to the discussion is simple and free and you can hop on and off as your schedule permits and any one can bake a bread at any time and add their own post and/or blog about it even if the bread they pick was done a long time back.
