Hot Cross Buns

Step 1
Put flour, warm water, 1/4 cup white sugar, egg, egg white, butter, yeast, milk powder, and salt in a bread maker and start on dough program.

Step 2
When 5 minutes of kneading are left, add currants and cinnamon. Leave in the machine until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 3
Punch down dough on a floured surface, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4
Shape into 12 balls and place in a greased 9×12-inch pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 35 to 40 minutes.

Step 5
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 6
Mix egg yolk with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl; brush on dough.

Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and cool on wire rack.

Step 8
Mix together confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Place glaze in a piping bag or a sandwich bag with the corner snipped off; pipe a cross onto each roll.
