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.

WELCOME BREAD MACHINES YOGURT SALAD IN A JAR RECIPE INDEX It's hard to get in the mood to bake bread when the temperatures climb. On the other hand, if you're lucky enough to have fresh tomatoes, homemade bread takes a BLT to another level. So I keep baking—usually by turning the oven on early in the morning. While testing a new-to-me recipe yesterday, I ran into something I don't think I've ever talked about. The recipe was written in metric measurements (thankfully), but it also listed tiny...
