I had never made Hot Cross Buns as they always seemed too difficult. I always enjoy Anneka's way of teaching – I find I learn so much and I love the way she supports her teachings with the science behind it. I find the live sessions work really well, and I learn so much from them ... being able to ask questions live is such a bonus. This course is a great way to learn something which you think is difficult but Anneka makes it all so simple. Absolutely do it!

Learn to bake the most traditional of Easter breads – right in your very own kitchen!
Hot Cross Buns is a fun and casual 2.5-hour LIVE virtual baking class where you will learn to make your own traditional Hot Cross Buns – just in time for the Easter weekend!
Anneka Manning will take you through the process step by step, sharing all of her practical tips and tricks along the way. You will have the ability to bake along with her as well as ask any questions that arise as you mix, knead, prove and shape your dough together throughout the evening. You can either bake your buns immediately or Anneka will share how to prove the dough overnight so it's ready to bake first thing the next morning (and have freshly baked buns for Good Friday).
The virtual Live Session will be supported by printable recipes and resources which will become your go-to Hot Cross Bun baking kit every Easter. Anneka will also share a number of recipe variations and some ideas of what to do with leftovers (if there are any!)
At the end of this class, you will come away not only with new-found skills and confidence but a dozen just-baked warm buns ready to smother in butter!

Student numbers
We will only be accepting a limited number of bakers for this class so that Anneka can answer your baking questions during the Live Session and provide personal feedback.
I definitely got more than I expected from the class. Easy step-by-step instructions provided by Anneka and the opportunity to ask questions, no matter how 'silly', while making the buns meant I got the best experience possible. It was just perfect. Definitely recommend.

How will I get the most out of this online lass?
To get the most from this class, we recommend setting aside time to attend the Live Session with Anneka and review the supporting materials beforehand. If you’re unable to join live, the session will be recorded so you can watch it at a time that suits you.
For the best experience and results, we encourage you to bake along during the class – it’s the perfect way to put the techniques into practice and gain the full benefit of Anneka’s guidance.
What if the dates don't suit me? Can I still enrol in the class?
If the date of this class doesn't work for you, you can still enrol and take part in your own time. While you may miss out on the Live Session, it will be recorded and will be available to watch when it suits you. You will have lifetime access to the video, as well as all the course material (including all of the resources and recipes).
I enjoy Anneka's classes and always learn a lot ... It makes a difference to watch and learn, and be able to ask questions, rather than just read a recipe. It was fun and enjoyable to bake along and have Anneka give feedback. A highlight for me are all the tips and tricks from Anneka ... she is a great teacher ... and her recipe is really good!
