Easter, Sourdough Style: A Healthier Twist on Hot Cross Buns!

Easter is a time for family, and we’re excited to partner with This Is Us bakery to bring you a limited drop of Mini Sourdough Hot Cross Buns - crafted with real ingredients and naturally fermented for better digestion. These buns are the perfect blend of tradition, health, and flavour, making them ideal for the whole family.

Why Sourdough is Great for Your Bub

Fun Fact 🥳

Did you know sourdough dates back over 5,000 years? The fermentation process gives it a signature tangy flavour and enhances its nutritional value!

Nutritional Qualities

Sourdough is naturally fermented, which makes it easier to digest and helps babies absorb nutrients more efficiently. The slow fermentation process also breaks down gluten and supports gut health, making it a gentle choice for little tummies. Plus, it’s packed with essential B vitamins and free from preservatives - just the good stuff!

What’s Inside Our Mini Sourdough Hot Cross Buns?

Made with traditional sourdough, a touch of sugar, and juicy currants and sultanas, our buns are soft, naturally leavened, and full of rich, spiced flavour. They’re perfect for sharing with your little one (and of course, for mum and dad to enjoy too)!

How to serve?

Introducing hot cross buns to your 12-month-old can be a delightful experience when done safely. Here's how to serve them appropriately:

1. Pick the Right Bun 🍞

  • Opt for Low-Sugar Varieties: Select buns with minimal added sugars and no preservatives to promote healthier eating habits.

  • Beware of Additives: Avoid buns containing honey, as it's not recommended for children under 12 months due to the risk of infant botulism.

2. Tiny Hands, Safe Bites:

  • Under 12 months, remove dried fruits: Dried fruits like raisins and currants can pose choking hazards for young children. It's advisable to remove these before serving to young ones under 12 months. 

  • Cut into Appropriate Sizes: Slice the bun into small, manageable pieces suitable for your child's chewing abilities.

3. Spread the Love 🧈

  • Lightly Toasted: Toasting can alter the texture of bread. Ensure it's toasted to a consistency that's easy for your child to chew without becoming too hard or too soft.

  • Pair with Nutritious Spreads: Consider adding a thin layer of unsalted butter, our Berry Chia Jam or another suitable spread to enhance flavor and nutritional value.

4. Watch & Enjoy 👀

  • Always supervise your child during mealtime to promptly address any potential choking incidents.

By making these adjustments, you can safely introduce hot cross buns into your toddler's diet, allowing them to enjoy this traditional treat alongside the family. 😊

These Mini Sourdough Hot Cross Buns aren’t just for your little ones - they’re the perfect Easter treat for the whole family. Soft, spiced, and naturally sweetened, they’re sure to be a hit with everyone!
