Step 1 Combine sugar and yeast in a bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup (60ml) warm water. Stir until combined. Add the banana and egg and whisk to combine. Step 2 Place the flour, mixed spice and cinnamon in a bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the banana chips, mixed dried fruit and currants. Make a well in the centre. Pour in the banana mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Turn onto a floured surface. Knead for 10-15 mins or until smooth and elastic (the dough should be sticky, so don’t use too much flour when kneading or it may become stiff and not rise properly). Place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover and set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 1 hour or until dough doubles in size. Step 3 Grease a 12 x 20cm (base measurement) loaf pan. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it returns to original size. Divide into 8 portions and roll into balls. Place side by side in the prepared pan. Set aside in a draught-free place for 30 mins or until doubled in size. Step 4 Preheat oven to 200C. Combine extra flour, extra sugar and 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water in a bowl to form a smooth paste. Place in a sealable plastic bag. Cut off 1 corner. Pipe crosses onto buns. Bake for 10 mins. Reduce oven to 180°C and bake for 20-25 mins or until golden and loaf sounds hollow when tapped on top. Step 5 To make the glaze, stir gelatine, sugar and water in a bowl until dissolved. Step 6 Turn loaf onto a wire rack. Brush the top with glaze. Serve warm with butter.

Margaret Fulton’s Plain Short Crust Recipe
This pastry, which does not include sugar, is good for savoury pies and pastries, and is fairly easy to handle. Butter will give the best flavour, but firm cooking margarine can be used if preferred. Ingredients
Larger pastry shells: For a 25 cm pastry shell or a two-crust 20–23 cm pie, follow recipe for Plain Shortcrust Pastry, using 2 cups plain flour, 150 g butter or firm margarine and about 4 tablespoons iced water with a squeeze of lemon juice added. For a two-crust pie, use a little more than half of the dough for the bottom crust, and the remainder for the lid. Scraps can be used to decorate the pie if liked.

How to Make Italian-Style Grissini
www.thekitchn.com Makes about 2 dozen Ingredients 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour 3/4 cup warm water 1 teaspoon honey 1 package (1 scant tablespoon) active-dry yeast 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons good extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons salt Oil for the bowl Optional additions: sesame seeds; poppy seeds; chopped thyme, sage, or rosemary; sea salt or flavoured salt; coarse ground black pepper Instructions 1. Proof the yeast. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the whole wheat flour, water, honey and yeast. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine and let sit for 10 minutes. The mixture should be foamy and show some liveliness. 2. Add the remaining ingredients. Add the all-purpose flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix on low speed with the dough hook attachment until combined, and then on medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and shiny. 3. Let rest. Remove the dough from the mixer bowl and transfer it to a small bowl. Drizzle a tiny amount of olive oil over the dough and roll it around until it has been coated. Cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap, and let sit undisturbed in a warm place for one hour or until doubled in bulk. 4. Preheat the oven and prep the baking sheets. When the dough is ready, preheat your oven to 425°F and line 2 or 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. 5. Divide dough (optional). If you would like to make several different varieties of grissini from a single batch, punch the dough down and divide into portions. For this post, I made plain, rosemary and black sesame seed grissini, so I divided the dough into three pieces. 6. Shape the dough. For plain grissini, shape the dough into a rough, flat rectangle. Slice a finger-sized piece from the long length of the rectangle with a sharp knife or a bench scrapper. Roll it into a long, irregularly shaped snake and place on the baking sheet. Continue with the remaining dough, placing the dough snakes about 1/2" apart. Note: The dough contains enough olive oil that you shouldn't need flour to roll it out. If, for some reason, it is sticky, sprinkle a small amount of four on your surface before rolling. 7. Add flavour to the grissini (optional.) To add herbs, knead about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh herbs into the dough and roll into snakes, as above. To add seeds, make the snakes as above. Measure out a couple of tablespoons of seeds and coax them into a long, thin line — as long as your snakes but fatter. Lay your snake over the seeds and press gently to make the seeds adhere. Place snakes on the baking sheet. Pick up one end and twist several times to create a swirl. 8. Let the grissini rise until puffed. Let the grissini rest for a few minutes before baking, so they puff up a bit, about 15 minutes. 9. Bake the grissini. Place the baking sheets with grissini into the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. At 5 minutes, rotate the pans and check their progress. The grissini are quite thin, so they will burn easily! Keep an eye on them and take them out when they are golden brown. 10. Cool and store. Carefully move the grissini to a cooling rack to cool. Once they are cool, store them in an airtight container (for up to 2 to 3 days) until ready to serve. Recipe Notes •If you want to add coarse salt or flavoured salts to the outside of your grissini, decrease the salt by 1/2 teaspoon while making the dough. •To make the grissini dough without a stand mixer, mix it by hand in a mixing bowl and then knead it on the counter for about 10 minutes. You may need to sprinkle on a little flour at first.
