Time 2h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 eggs
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
4 cups Gold Medal™ Better for Bread™ flour
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons bread machine or quick active dry yeast
1/2 cup dark raisins
1/2 cup golden raisins
1 egg
2 tablespoons cold water
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk or water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla, if desired

Steps:

  • Break 2 eggs into 2-cup measuring cup. Add enough water to measure 1 1/3 cups. Measure carefully, placing egg mixture and remaining bun ingredients except raisins, 1 egg and cold water in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Add raisins at the Raisin/Nut signal or 5 to 10 minutes before last kneading cycle ends.
  • Select Dough/Manual cycle. Do not use delay cycle. (Total time will vary with appliance and setting.)
  • Remove dough from pan, using lightly floured hands. Cover and let rest 10 minutes on lightly floured surface.
  • Grease cookie sheet or two 9-inch round cake pans. Divide dough in half. Divide each half into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Place about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet or 1 inch apart in pans. Snip a cross shape in top of each ball, using scissors. Cover and let rise in warm place about 40 minutes or until double. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Beat egg and cold water slightly; brush over tops of buns. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet or pans to cooling rack. Cool slightly.
  • In medium bowl, mix all icing ingredients until well blended. Stir in additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until smooth and spreadable. Make a cross on top of each bun with icing. Serve warm.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my buns turned out flat and dense. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These buns were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were very good.

I've made hot cross buns before, but this recipe is by far the best. The buns were so moist and flavorful, and the glaze was the perfect finishing touch.

I'm not a huge fan of hot cross buns, but these were surprisingly good! The dough was light and airy, and the spices were just right.

This recipe was a total lifesaver! I was craving hot cross buns, but didn't have time to make them from scratch. The bread machine did all the work for me, and the buns came out just as good as if I had made them by hand.

These hot cross buns turned out beautifully! The dough was easy to work with, and the buns were perfectly spiced. I especially loved the orange zest and cinnamon.
