Our panel of three experts blind taste test (without knowing the brands and in a randomised order) and review 15 supermarket and bakery hot cross buns from Australian supermarket chains and bakeries, including Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, IGA and Bakers Delight. Traditional fruit buns and chocolate buns, along with their gluten-free varieties, were tested separately. Each bun was tasted fresh (untoasted) and toasted, with scores given for each.
