Hot cross bun recipe?

I’m surprised some Hot Cross Bun recipes bake at temps as low as 350 F and others at temps as high as 425F.

For those of you who make them, how hot is your oven?

Dan Lepard’s buns bake at 400F

Nigel Slater 425 F

425 F/ 400 Convection for Richard Bertinet

Stella Parks’ buns bake at 350 F.

I went with 400 F convection on, following Bertinet. It took 18 minutes to reach 209 F internally on buns that weighed 75 grams each before baking.
