As I mentioned in the introductory post, the Plain Bun recipe is very versatile and there can be many variations to it. For instance, many extra ingredients can be added to this basic recipe to achieve a different product altogether. For chocolate lovers, cocoa can be added. And for those who are relatively more to the health-conscious side, dried fruits can be added. In my opinion, a bun is one that is no larger than the size of one's palm and can be eaten as it is or to compliment a meal. A few of the relatives of the plain bun includes those below. The damper is a traditional Australian bread cooked under coal. It is often eaten with meat or golden syrup.  Rock Buns are an example of a variation of a Plain Bun. They are distinguished by the hard, crust-like texture and sweet taste. Rock buns usually also have a sugar-crust topping. Rock buns are made using the rubbing in method.  A hot cross bun, or cross-bun, is a type of sweet spiced bun made with currants or raisins and leavened with yeast. It also has a cross marked on the top.  So these are just some of the variations of a plain bun. Don't they look appetising! I shall end this post here. Till next time with more exciting recipes, see you!
