Of course they don't sit there and watch the dough prove. don't the do other pastry too? :)

?1.50 for a hot cross bun that size I don't mind! (See picture) And let's assume Brick House pays the bakers the London living wage which I believe is ?9.40. I think pricing it at ?1.50 is a bargain! Let's break it down, shall we? According to this recipe http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/hotcrossbuns_397 it takes 2 hours to make 12 hot cross buns 2 x ?9.40 = ?18.80 Divided by 12 = ?1.566666666666667 And that's just labour. Rent, electricity and ingredients are missing!
