Nigella's Maritozzi | Ocado

AD | "I’ve never met a cream bun I didn’t like, but maritozzi (pronounced, give or take, ‘marry tottsy’) are a particular favourite. They are a joy to the eye – bulging, glossy buns, filled with slightly sweetened whipped cream, forming a stripe down the middle – and even more of a joy to taste. These maritozzi are smaller than you might see at a bakery: enticing as those look, they are pretty much impossible to eat, and it’s hard to keep the balance of bun and cream. These babies, I feel, get it just right! My method is reassuringly low effort: as far as kneading is concerned, all that’s required is three 10-second kneads at 10-minute intervals. Even if you’ve never baked with yeast before, you’ll find this all a breeze."
