Bread Ahead: The Expert Home Baker

Matthew Jones · Bread Ahead: The Expert Home Baker

I was fortunate to grow up in the seventies and eighties when the high-street baker was still very much a thing, so for me these classic Belgian buns with the cherry on top are symbolic of this era of baking. We adapted the lemon curd to be more citrussy, which balances the sweetness of the icing and the cherry. This recipe is more on the naughty side of things, but deeply satisfying.
