Breadmaker hot cross buns are a simple yet scrumptious way to enjoy this traditional treat with minimal effort. Made using your breadmaker, these buns come out soft, fluffy, and packed with warm spices, raisins, and currants. Why wait until Easter to make these spiced buns? Simply leave the crosses off and make them anytime - they make great lunchbox fillers.

Method

Dough: Place dough ingredients into the machine in the order as listed. Turn the machine on using "dough only" function. Grease a swiss roll tin.
When the dough cycle has completed remove dough and knead on a well floured surface until elastic and springs back when pressed. Divide into 12 pieces, shape each into a ball and place close together on tray. Cover and leave to rise for 60 minutes.
Tip: Leave to rise longer for a lighter, fluffy bun.

Crosses: Mix all the ingredients together until smooth. Then, pipe crosses over the risen dough. You can use a Ziploc bag for this. Just cut off one corner to make piping easier.

Bake at 200°C for 20-25 minutes until golden.
Glaze: Combine ingredients, microwave for 1 minute and brush over hot buns.
