This was my first experience with a KAF recipe that was not dummy-proof, at least for me. I struggled with the dough from beginning to end. I followed all measurements to the T using a scale instead of cups and spoons. Very soft dough is an understatement - almost like a brownie batter with the exception of the added yeast-y elasticity. Came very close to throwing out the entire concoction. Couldn't shape dough into any bun like form. Did measure out using a muffin scoop, but the dough expanded and just formed a big pan of tea bread. I am glad I experimented with this before Easter, because I am not going to be using this recipe for Easter hot cross buns. Need to find another recipe, or need help from KAF into making this a workable one. Sorry KAF, very disappointing and stressful baking experience - surprisingly from a blog from Ms. PJ who I think is just one of the most talented "hold your hand while you cook" kind of a baker/ writer. I am too disappointed to even try this again. The bread looked great, but after tasting it, my first reaction was "SO not worth the effort and stress" :( I'm so sorry that you struggled with this recipe. We would love to help! Please call our baker's hotline for assistance- we look forward to hearing from you! ~Amy I'm sorry, too - totally didn't mean to give you a stressful experience! As Amy says, please call our hotline, 802-649-3717 - I'm sure they can help nail down what happened... PJH
