    I made 1/2 recipe (the recipe halves easily) using white whole wheat flour instead of traditional. I shaped the buns the night before, refrigerated overnight, then proofed and baked in the morning. The buns were not heavy, although the whole wheat was definitely noticeable. They were not very sweet or rich, so the icing was welcome. Recommended if you want a more wholesome hot cross bun.
