6.Preheat oven to 220°C and grease a baking tray.

7.Punch down, fold sides to centre and turn the dough over. Remove the dough from the bowl and place onto a well floured surface. Lightly knead dough with the palm of your hands until smooth and elastic. Divide dough into 18 equal portions and shape into round, smooth balls.

8.Position the dough balls closely together onto the baking tray. Cover loosely for approximately 10 minutes.

9.For the crosses, combine the flour and water to form a batter and pipe crosses on the tops of the buns.

10.Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

11.Whilst the buns are baking prepare the glaze. Place the water, sugar and gelatin into a small saucepan and stir over a medium heat until sugar has dissolved, approximately 2 minutes. Glaze the buns while they are still warm.
