I love hot cross buns and look forward to making them every Easter! I like to make the dough in a bread machine, but you can use a stand mixer if you prefer.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large eggs, separated, divided
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon instant powdered milk
- 3/8 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup dried currants
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons water
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
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.
