If you enjoy baking sourdough bread, you have to give these a try. The complex flavour a sourdough starter brings comes into its own when incorporated into sweet bakes, giving them depth and character. Just like baking the bread, they require more effort, but the result is some of the best buns you'll ever taste. The secret to sourdough is the more active your starter, the better your bread, and that's even more important when making an enriched dough - the ingredients that make it rich also weigh it down, so get your starter bubbling before you use it. Once you've mastered these, the world of sourdough buns is open to you. Chelsea buns, teacakes and more can all be made in the same way. Barney Desmazery, shows & skills editor

For me, the highlight of Easter is being able to consume as much chocolate as possible without feeling guilty. So, I thought, why stop at hot cross buns? These buns are made with a gorgeous chocolatey enriched dough, packed with both milk and white chocolate. These are a chocolate lover's dream, and perfect for anyone that isn't a fan of dried fruit.
