Dear Elly I make your easy bread since 2018 and i love it, you are the only one that explained it in a simple way , I am your fan , never wrote a comment but here it goes , you are the souerdaugth queen thank you
I like your version of this, Elly😊 Eggs have never agreed with me, and I only used them as a binder for cooking. I am now using a lot of ground flax as a substitute. When I bake, I also prefer using spritzes of water instead of flour on my hands and the counter. It's much neater 😉
Ah thanks Dale! Glad you enjoyed it, I hope you like them! They are my healthy version, but you could add butter to make them richer and more delicate if you like. I've been eating these for breakfast! They're not bad warmed up, even after a few days :)
They look really lovely, Elly, and I bet they taste scrumptious. I couldn't help but notice your recipe book. It looks just like my old soap and lotion recipe books; lots of ingredients listed, some method notes, occasional crossouts, and footnotes from experimenting ☺️
hey this recipe is really fun to make. I am a beginner and this is my first recipe in which I used my starter I made with your help. It turned out delicious. Easy to make too. Thank you!
These look so beautiful! I've seen some recipes recommend soaking the dried fruit before adding them to avoid them absorbing too much moisture from the dough - would you recommend doing this?
Thank you! Yes, you can do that, but I didn't do it for this version. The first batch I made I soaked the fruit for 10 minutes in boiling water. You can do that, or you can add some extra liquid to the dough to compensate :)
Vegan freshly milled flour buns are exactly the recipe I needed!! Any chance you have a conversion for how I could do them without any starter? I don't have one yet.
Oh wonderful! That's so great to hear Sarah. Yes, you could do these with 1/4 tsp active dried yeast, or up to 1/2 tsp yeast if you want it all to move faster. I would just mix the yeast in dry with the flours, that will work well. Good luck!
Ooh it’s nearly Easter so I can finally get around to trying these! Ive been waiting for months ( I’d not know why, I could have just made them without the crosses….)
Well, I did make them Elly and they were delicious even though my crosses were very messy. I think the hole in my bag was a bit big and my flour water mixture too runny. I’ll know for next year. In the meantime I’ll be making them more regularly without the crosses. Thanks so much
Ooh, good question Sarah. I'd probably use a different recipe, but yes, technically it would work. When I make rolls I usually just make a regular bread dough with milk instead of water and bake it into rolls. Any wheat/spelt sourdough would work :)
Hi Katelyn, it really depends on the weather, and I don't remember exactly, but probably around 90 minutes in cool weather, and 30-60 minutes in hot weather? There's never any set times with sourdough, it's so dependent on temperature!
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough thanks! Yes I know its so variable I just wanted to get an idea of magnitude of time (i.e. 3 - 6 hours vs 1 - 3 hours). Your response is helpful thank you! I feel like I tend to underproof for fear of overproofing lol
I understand that. Rolls are a bit more forgiving though! I was taught years ago that you can always take rolls to a fuller proof - they are smaller so have less chance of collapsing :)
The minute you heat flaxseed they start to oxidation.....my grandma from Tigray Ethiopia told me this and the western science believe too. Love you innovation tho
Hi Diane, yes I'll be doing a video on that soon. I just use store bought soy milk (or other plant milk) with a non-dairy yoghurt starter culture I buy from Green Living Australia. I'll do some more research on resources for this and share soon :)

Oh thank you so much!
We had them with a glaze as a child so good at Easter ❤

Thanks Tray, we are in alignment! Glad you enjoyed it :)
They look perfect. I always love that mixture of spice and fruit in hot cross buns.
Thank you! They are so yum :)
I love the buns, and I love the music you chose for the video!
Thank you Bill! That's my favourite style of music. So soothing and peaceful.
Officially drooling watching you taste them; can’t wait to make for Easter. Thanks, Elly❣️

They look wonderful , I’m going to try these. Thank you for sharing ! HAPPY Easter 🐣
Thank you Janet, have fun! Happy easter to you too :)

Thank you Kelly, yes I've only just recently started taking notes for my bread recipes. I mainly just wing it! :)
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough , I'm a winger from way back 🤗
My mouth is watered 😋
Thank you, Paula! The bread is soooo delicious :)

Brilliant! That's great to hear Madalina.
Wow they look delicious, I can just imagine the taste, they have sent my taste buds into overdrive! yummo!
They are really yummy!! Thanks George :)
Lovely , have a Happy Easter
Thanks Cynthia, you too :)
They look gorgeous!! Will definitely be making them sometime soon.
Oh great! I really enjoyed these, I must make them again myself!
Yummy so making HCB again this year. Happy Easter
Thanks Debs, you too!
Oh, my goodness they look delicious 😋
Thank you, they are wonderful!

Those look so good! 😋

@@ellyswholegrainsourdough Thank you!
I also make my own soy yogurt. In the Instant Pot actually. I like it. :)
What no butter with them! They’re perfect. Thank you!
Thanks Ethel, no I don't eat butter! Strange I know... They were still yummy :)
They look delicious. What model of Kitchen Aid is good for bread and which one is the one you have?
I sold mine as it was taking up too much space. But any model would be fine I think.
Ooh it’s nearly Easter so I can finally get around to trying these! Ive been waiting for months ( I’d not know why, I could have just made them without the crosses….)
Ah yes, these are great any time of year :)
Well, I did make them Elly and they were delicious even though my crosses were very messy. I think the hole in my bag was a bit big and my flour water mixture too runny. I’ll know for next year. In the meantime I’ll be making them more regularly without the crosses. Thanks so much
That looks mjam mjam mjammy. Unfortunately I am not so lucky with making a starter. But I will get it done some day.
Nevermind, one day! Thanks for your comment. You could make these with a small amount of yeast instead of the starter if you wanted to :)
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough I could do that. Great idea. Thank you.
You can pretty much substitute sourdough for quarter teaspoon of yeast in any recipe. Very easy :)
Awesome!
Thank you Dinesh!
What do you use to grind the flaxseeds? 🙂 Thank you for sharing your baking experience 🙂
I have been using my old Breville blender, but from now on will be using this one! th-cam.com/video/aX_qUjsCBAs/w-d-xo.html
Would this work as a dinner roll if I omit the spices?
Ooh, good question Sarah. I'd probably use a different recipe, but yes, technically it would work. When I make rolls I usually just make a regular bread dough with milk instead of water and bake it into rolls. Any wheat/spelt sourdough would work :)
Hi Elly - just curious how long it took for the rolls to double in size. The first proof was 5 hours and the 2nd was how long? Thank you!

Amazing recipe! How much whole wheat flour should I use if I'm using pre-milled flour?
If it's 100% whole grain and not sifted (stoneground), use exactly the same amount :)
@@ellyswholegrainsourdough Got it, thanks!
The minute you heat flaxseed they start to oxidation.....my grandma from Tigray Ethiopia told me this and the western science believe too. Love you innovation tho
Thanks for that. I guess the entire dough ingredients are oxidised to some extent. It's still a lovely healthy recipe :)
I don't have any yogurt on hand so I'd like to try using cultured buttermilk instead. Do you think that would work?
Yes, I think that would work beautifully.
Nice hot cross buns , chef I have subscribed to your channel, looking forward to your help. Thank you very much!
Thank you Chef! Welcome.
😮 I want this machine 😊
They are so good! Details are here if you're interested www.ellyseveryday.com/home-milling-mockmill
I did use an ordinary egg and milk instead of yogurt and the dough was a bit sticky but they melted in my mouth
Ahh wonderful!
Trying these very soon. Would you share your recipe for soy milk yogurt? Thanks.
Hi Diane, yes I'll be doing a video on that soon. I just use store bought soy milk (or other plant milk) with a non-dairy yoghurt starter culture I buy from Green Living Australia. I'll do some more research on resources for this and share soon :)
Sometime things are tricky being Vegan i have just used Vegan items ❤
I do that too :)
❤️💚💪
Thank you :)
Would live to show my beautiful buns but they didn’t last long enough
Haha, that's a good think I'd say!
