Hot Cross Buns from the Bread Machine

[@Ncogneeeedo]

I have owned 2 bread machines that found their way to charity simply because the bread either failed or didn’t look or taste good. I have failed at trying to make it by hand, I think I don’t get liquid right temperature because it never rises. I recently bought a yeast thermometer. I like that you are just using dough feature, great idea! That never occurred to me.

[@nikkijohnson552]

Happy Easter and thank you for making these! I use my bread machine dough setting so often now - because of your inspirational videos.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

That is so good to hear, thank you!

[@suzanneO6924]

Thanks for another bread machine recipe. My favorite part of the video was the lesson on the meaning of hot cross buns. Thanks for sharing.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

You're welcome 😊

[@johnnewton3837]

Thank you, your recipes are part of the reason our bread maker lives permanently on our counter 😊

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Good to hear!

[@donnadornbusch6738]

Colleen, every one of your bread recipes have been perfect- thank you!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching them.

I’ve made 3 batches of hot cross buns in the last few weeks, each from a different bread machine recipe. They were OK, but none of them quite met my expectations. This recipe was by far the best and I can now stop searching. I was sceptical of the quick-rise yeast and the use of oil rather than butter but, other than increasing the spices a bit and using a raisin/dried fruit combo, stuck to the recipe and am I ever glad I did. So fluffy and delicious! It was the first time I piped on the dough crosses and glazed with simple syrup rather than making icing crosses. This is now my go-to recipe and method. Thank you, Colleen - from another BC fan ❤

[@Nwiederman]

I am excited to make these in my bread maker. Also, I love your hair cut and style!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you! And I hope you enjoy the buns. Best wishes, Colleen

[@LeslieLandry-g6x]

Making these and sharing with neighbours!! thanks for the recipe!!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

You're welcome! Enjoy!

[@sunnycadwallader2873]

This would be good with dried cranberries and the orange. Would love more coffee cake recipes for the bread machine. Thanks!

[@TizianaTina]

You must have known I was looking for a Hot Cross Bun recipe for the bread maker. Hoping to have fresh warm buns for Palm Sunday morning. They look amazing. Thank-you Colleen.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I didn't know but I am glad I was able to help. Cheers, Colleen

[@marilyncapehart663]

Hi Colleen I enjoy eating the Buns, thanks for sharing 3-20-2024❤

[@oursilvermoments6028]

❤

[@gerdahalliday5113]

Beautiful!

[@ettateel4979]

Colleen, thank you again for another bread machine recipe.

[@karensmith5116]

I made these for Easter; a pan for my neighbor and one for me. They were so easy to make and delicious to eat! Thank you so much for this great recipe and your others as well. I enjoy your videos and recipes so much!

[@katielin2379]

Those are beautiful.

[@lucindaschubert9109]

Thanks for the video. Your buns look lovely. I would caution people not to jump the gun and add the raisins at the beginning. I did that once with raisin bread. The paddle broke the raisins into tiny litte bits! Tasted ok but not a good look! A Blesed Easter to everyone.

[@ashleybosvik3031]

I love Hot Cross Buns so I'm going to try this recipe I've never been able to make them properly before

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I hope you enjoy this recipe. Happy Easter!

[@smileytow1925]

Thank you! I can’t wait to make these in my bread machine!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

They are really good! Hope you enjoy them. Cheers, Colleen

[@lifeatthenutthouse]

I love using my bread machine. Yesterday I made some delicious peanut butter and chocolate pull apart rolls. They are a huge hit! ❤lifeatthenutthouse

[@theashaul-patton]

I enjoy your channel so much! I don't have a bread maker but this recipe was easy to adapt to regular prep. We had these for Easter every year. My Mum used to save the citron she bought in the store over the Christmas holidays as we were English transplants to Texas and as you said it was impossible to find the citron at Easter. I love to watch you cook. My Mum also used to keep a chop stick in her flour bin for leveling and I do the same. Thanks for sharing your channel!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you so much for watching. It is great to hear the memories that sharing food brings out.

[@janetgriffiths1534]

The buns look amazing !❤️👏👏

[@marieholzwasser9224]

Colleen, you really are a 'wonder' woman. Happy Easter! I so enjoyed this.

[@theolachapman6126]

Thank you for sharing they look delicious Theola

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you!

[@sharonboles1987]

I haven’t made these in years! Thanks for the reminder 😊

[@oursilvermoments6028]

You're welcome Sharon. I hope all is well with you? Best wishes, Colleen

[@bridgetgreene2457]

This looks delicious Colleen, thank you for sharing ! Hope your doing well ?

[@diannemohrhauser3761]

This was my favorite video! I love hot cross buns!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

So do I! And so I worked at the recipe for the bread machine until it worked.

[@cyn4rest]

Super! Had no idea the Cross was made with a flour paste. We always cut a cross in ours right before baking and augmented it after baking with icing. I like your version. Thank you!

[@avawestwood3366]

Thank you for the inspiration! I'm gluten free I'll give it a go with gluten free flour. From Coventry .U.K.

[@corinnesmedes8686]

How did it work with the gluten free dough?

[@palladini9718]

thank you for this recipe.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

You're welcome 😊

[@cleo_travels]

I so enjoy your channel. So much that I've just now subscribed. I have had a bread machine for a while and my claim to fame is my yeast rolls. I've sold my bread machine to my sis-in-law and upgraded to a Zojirushi. Currently I have some Italian bread in it. My Mom always made hot cross buns for Easter. Takes me back. Thanks Colleen! -West Michigan here.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank younfor subscribing and I hope you continue to find things here to keep you coming back. Cheers, Colleen

[@daydreambeliever6603]

I’ve never had one of these. I was surprised by the fruit and spices! I’m going to give them a try for easter. Thank you, Colleen.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I hope that you enjoy them. Best wishes, Colleen

[@catherinenaugle3484]

They look delicious, Colleen. Thank you for another lovely video.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you Catherine ❤️

[@janemartin229]

Those were huge buns! They looked really good, and even though I've never had them, the icing cross sounds better to me for a sweet bun.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Honestly I prefer the icing cross but I was trying show the traditional way. Cheers, Colleen

[@HighlandsHomestead]

Looks so yummy. Sharing your videos with friends.

[@dellasmalley6097]

They are really good and a nice change from regular buns.

[@marsaymeagher3705]

Dear colleen, happy Easter to you also💓 . I am diffently going to make these for our pot luck on Easter Sunday, going for the 24!! God bless, Marsay in Az. 🙋🌞🙇

[@omaerin3529]

Hi Colleen, I was watching you on TV, but come on the computer for leaving a message, can't figure it out on the TV. Your Hot Cross Bun recipe looks delicious. Thanks for sharing. Stay well and safe.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I have to do the same thing! It seems like it should be easy to leave a message on the TV but I can't figure it out. Anyway, thanks for watching!

[@annapower9799]

Love these bread machine recipes!! Keep them coming and, can you make some that are not just using the dough cycle but also baking - start to finish in the bread machine.

[@Murny31]

Hi Colleen, just FYI I found the citron peel at Bulk Barn. I’m in Alberta but I know you have Bulk Barn out your way also. I’m looking forward to trying the recipe in the next few days. I’ve been enjoying using all your bread machine recipes, they all turn out perfectly. Keep up the good work, love watching you.

[@LeahNess-t7o]

Hi Colleen. 😊 I need to try this recipe.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

It is a really delicious bun.

[@Freeeleee]

Looks delicious 😋

[@dorothyschrader3001]

Thanks,looks delicious.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thanks for watching!

[@kelvinsharman7336]

Thank you, Colleen, This has been so informative & I will be making this recipe. Have a safe Easter.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you, you as well!

[@charmainekirk1512]

Thank you! These are great. I must try them! Love your videos!

[@denisewilson5436]

These look delicious!

[@lavonnajones4543]

Love this video...very helpful!! Happy Easter to you n yours ✌️❤️

[@charmianjohnson2364]

We eat them every Easter

[@bonniebartlow5631]

I’ve always wanted to make these. Thanks for helping me. Is there a lemon sauce one can put on the buns instead of the confectionary sugar sauce? Love how simple you make it seem.🤗😋🎉

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you Bonnie! I am sure you could use a lemon sauce instead. I don't have a recipe for that but it should be easy enough. Cheers, Colleen

[@janemartin229]

It's easier to zest if you hold the fruit in your hand and run the rasp on top of the fruit. You'll be able to see what you're doing without having to keep turning the fruit over. Then turn the rasp over and dump it into the machine's pan.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Sounds like I good tip, I will have to practice it and see if it will work for me. Cheers, Colleen

[@cyn4rest]

Nifty idea. I’ll try it. Thank you

[@patshipp9195]

💖💖🙏🙏💖💖👍👍

[@roselee2397]

Yesterday I made a batch and the dough came out perfect even though I didn’t have vanilla or ground cloves. So today I bought them and another orange. The dough came out so sticky. I thought should put it thru the dough menu again with flour or put it on the table and worked it in flour. So now I’m waiting for it to raise and then cook them. I hope I did the right thing.

[@janettecuthbert2591]

That knife looks scary!

[@theolachapman6126]

What about sourdough bread can you mix it in bread machine? Love watching you thank you Theola

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I have never given sourdough a try so I am not sure of the process. I will have to do some research on that.

[@pamelathorne9345]

Farmhouse on Boone has a bread machine recipe for this!

[@cyn4rest]

Yes. I mix my SD in the bread machine when creating a “kneaded” dough. But only bake in oven. BM is especially handy for mixing the Levan stage: mix, cover pan and put in refr overnight. Take out in morning, give it an hour to come to room temp and proceed with ingredients and mixing. Very handy. Only one thing to wash up after.

[@SharonKelly-zz2sg]

Could I swap some whole wheat flour instead of using all white flour ? In Ontario, Metro sells Hot Cross Buns throughout the year.

[@MarilyneDespins]

Colleen, could I put 3 teaspoons of yeast instead of 4 for the buns to be smaller.?

[@littlemscrafty]

I have bread flour and bread machine yeast?? Will these work just as well or will it change the flavor or texture?/ I have used my bread machine 2-3 times and I do not like the bread recipes I have tried! I spent quite a bit of money on my bread machine and would like to use it and have a product that I like. I am looking forward to trying your recipes. I also newly single and love to see recipes for one or two people. Glad I found your channel.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hmm, I tried using bread flour and bread machine yeast but didn't care for the texture of the bread. Bread flour has more protein which is what changes it a bit. I only use all purpose flour now.

[@littlemscrafty]

@@oursilvermoments6028 thank you so much for your help. I am enjoying your channel and recipes so much. I can’t wait to start trying them

[@lisapop5219]

I've never even had hot cross buns.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I hope you give them a try. Cheers, Colleen

[@donnarichey144]

So you have a recipe using a cooked mash potato, its supposed to raise better and taste better? Thank you for sharing. That dough raised high, its funny it did not hit the top and go flat.

[@theolachapman6126]

You put. three and three and three-forth cups ❤

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you! It turned out perfectly. ❤

[@connieolsen1628]

Back in the 70s , in MI. had a step grandmother that made these long loaves of a sweet bread that was luscious. Been wanting a recipe for a sweet bread like hers for my machine. I'm hoping this will work. Here in CO cooking & baking is different. Thanks for this.

[@BethOBrien-bj9xw]

Are your cups, 250mil?

[@darlenebrown7256]

💯😋👏💐💞

[@Ncogneeeedo]

How much citrine?

[@brendamaas4293]

Seems like a lot of yeast to me, as i only use 1.5 tsp to 4 cups of flour for my bread dough. 4 tsps seems a lot.
