I had to go out to Fyshwick to buy a new dishwasher hose, so of course I had to drop in at the Flute bakery. I got a lovely sourdough loaf, of course, and also picked up some of their Easter range - the hot cross brioche. This is cute, but I don't really recommend them. They're a nice enough little roll of rich dough, but sadly under-spiced to be a proper hot cross bun substitute. The fruit is just sultanas. No currants, and then there's the vexed issue of the mixed peel. Sadly, Flute have gone along with the recent trend to eliminate it. It's just not right having a hot cross bun without that little bitter citrus tang. For the first time, I am disappointed in Flute.
However, on a positive note, That Bagel Place is now making hot cross bagels! I queued up for them in the market this morning, and was not disappointed with them at all. Nicely spiced, and with the odd dot of peel. Yum! It was their "bagel of the week", so we can't count on a re-occurrence. But I do hope they continue baking these until Easter - that would make sense.

Jay wants to know if the hot cross bagels have stars of David on them instead. I'm not a fan of the sweet bagel, but I love a good hcb.
LOL, no, just crosses! Otherwise they'd be Hot Star Bagels.
I'm sure they're as authentically Jewish as any ham and cheese bagel :)
A little bitter marmalade would probably help.
I've discovered that I like hot buttered toast with a very thin layer of marmalade (preferably bitter or lemon-peel) and slices of old cheese so thin you can practically read through them.
I will make certain to bookmark your
blog and definitely will come back sometime soon.
Remarkable things here. I'm very satisfied to
look your post. Thank you a lot
