5. Put the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand.
6. Add the sultanas and candied fruit and lightly knead the dough in the food processor for 10 minutes.
7. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let sit for about 1½ hours until doubled in size.
8. Turn out the dough on a floured work surface and divide it into 12 balls. Place the balls together on the tray and flatten them slightly.
9. Cover the tray with the buns with plastic wrap and let it rest for 40-60 minutes.
10. Put the flour in a container with 100 ml of water and stir to form a paste. Place the mixture in a piping bag and make a cross on each bun.
11. Bake the hot cross buns until lightly golden, about 15-20 minutes. Let the yeast buns cool on a wire rack.
