Are you looking for a tasty tradition to celebrate Good Friday?
Have you tried making Hot Cross Buns with your bread maker (or stand mixer)?
These sweet rolls are a Good Friday tradition often observed in Britain and other Commonwealth nations. However, I only realized how many Americans enjoy them once I got several requests from readers for a bread machine recipe to make them.
These beautiful rolls are ideal for sharing with family, co-workers, or neighbors.
The flavors will remind you of a cinnamon-raisin loaf with icing shaped into a guilt-free individual serving. Since there's no rolling required or filling to make, Hot Cross Buns are easier to make than a whole loaf.

Have you tried my popular bread machine recipe, "Bread Machine French Bread"? It may not be authentic French bread, but it's an easy and delicious recipe for beginners that usually turns out great. Recently, one of my readers requested a whole wheat version. It's not quite as "fool-proof" because whole wheat has a different personality and needs a little extra care. When you try this recipe keep these tips in mind. A Few Handy Tips for Baking with Whole Wheat Flour White vs. Red. White whole...
Fall Recipes I Can't Wait to Make What kind of recipe do you like to make when the weather starts to turn cool? My sister always reports when she makes her first bowl of soup in autumn so we can compare. Maybe it's pumpkin-something at your house, winter squash, or apples. I've gathered a few of my favorites that taste best wearing a sweatshirt. (Sorry if I'm a bit late with this--it's still reaching into the high 80's here in Texas, so the mood is slow to hit me.)
