We're very glad that baker and food writer Dan Lepard is back for another Mumsnet webchat and bakealong on Monday 29 March from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

This time, as it's nearly Easter, Dan will be making hot cross buns. You can see his recipe for easy hot cross buns, plus lovely picture of a batch he made earlier here.

While Dan's (and your) buns are in the oven , he will answer questions and swap tips about baking, 1001 ways with yeast, and the like.

Please share a picture of the finished result on your profile, so we can all gawp in admiration.

If you don't have time to bake but still want to quiz Dan, please join us anyway.

And, of course, if you can't make it on Monday but have a question you'd like to ask Dan, please post it here.

Dan's just mixing the yeast and water and weighing out other ingredients. He'll be back on the thread soon.

(MmeLindt, congrats on the run.)

Yes, there will be pix. Will twitpic some of them during the chat and then will add some to the recipe page afterwards.

oh, and forgot to say we're in Carrie's kitchen again. Last time there was thick snow outside, today just a bit damp.

Oh hello

Gosh it smells LOVELY in here!

Erm, I'm a bit late coming to this I have had a bit of a morning of it but I will be making mine a bit later - (which I guess will make it a bake-a-thon not a bake-along) as hot x buns one of DH's Fave things ever

Dan on the rising thing, I was going to leave in my rather hot kitchen, will that do the trick do you think?

Here's a link to the twitpics Dan's dough looking loverly
Dan - a clean tea towel? That wasn't in the list of ingredients(!)

And just wondering if I need to put the bowl of hot water in the bottom of my Aga -I know that there are weird things afoot in the way the oven works.

Dan just discovered he's forgotten his piping bag, so he's improvising with a small bin bag (snipped the corner off). Apparently small sandwich bags etc also work fine.

Thanks Dan, and everybody who baked along and posted pix.

Scoffing the finished result - delicious

Calling MayOnnaise (and anyone who needs a gluten-free fruit bread recipe).

Have a look at this gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan-ready fruited bread recipe by David Whitehouse on Dan's site.

It was inspired by MayOnnaise but incorporates lots of suggestions other people made on this thread.

Thanks David
