Time 3h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 package regular active or fast-acting dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour or Better for Bread™ flour
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup dried blueberries
1/3 cup dried cherries
1 egg
2 tablespoons cold water
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk or water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in granulated sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, 2 eggs and 2 cups of the flour. Beat with spoon until smooth. Stir in cranberries, blueberries, cherries and enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle.
  • Place dough on lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead about 5 minutes or until smooth and springy. Grease large bowl with shortening. Place dough in bowl, turning dough to grease all sides. Cover; let rise in warm place about 1 1/2 hours or until double in size. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)
  • Grease cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. Gently push fist into dough to deflate. Divide dough in half. Divide each half into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Place about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Snip a cross shape in top of each ball with scissors. Cover; let rise in warm place about 40 minutes or until double in size.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, slightly beat 1 egg and cold water; brush over tops of buns. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix all icing ingredients until smooth and spreadable. Remove buns from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool 5 minutes. Frost cross on top of each bun with icing. Serve warm.

I forgot to add the cross to the top of the hot cross buns. They still tasted good, but they didn't look as festive.

I baked the hot cross buns for too long. They were still edible, but they were a bit too dry.

I accidentally added too much sugar to the dough. The hot cross buns were still good, but they were a bit too sweet.

I didn't have any cherries or berries on hand, so I used raisins instead. They turned out great!

I'm not a big fan of hot cross buns, but these ones are really good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice, soft texture.
