Good bread machine hot cross bun recipe?

so far have only succeeded in making spice-scented hockey pucks....what's worked for you?Good bread machine hot cross bun recipe?
I use my bread machine only for dough. I like to shape and bake my breads.





The amount of dough will be equal to a 2 pound loaf of bread.





Hot Cross Buns


dough


1/4 cup water - at room temperature or slightly above


1/2 cup lukewarm milk


1/4 cup melted butter


1 egg, lightly beaten


3-1/2 cups all purpose flour


1/4 cup sugar


1-1/2 tsp. active dry yeast


1 tsp. cinnamon


1/2 tsp. nutmeg


pinch of ground cloves


pinch of allspice


1/2 tsp. salt


1/2 cup golden raisins


1/4 cup finely chopped, mixed candied fruit


glaze


2 T. granulated sugar


2 T. water


icing


1/2 cup Confectioners' sugar


2 tsp. water





Preparation -


Place all the dough ingredients, except the raisins and fruit, in the bread machine pan. Set on the dough only cycle. Add the raisins and candied fruit at the bread machine's signal for adding extra ingredients. Remove the dough from the bread machine at end of dough cycle. Place it in a bowl, cover with a cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.


**Divide the dough into 12 pieces. Shape the pieces into balls and place them 3 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in warm place until almost doubled, about 45 minutes to an hour. Bake in a preheated oven at 375潞 for 15 to 18 minutes, or until light brown on top. Remove from the oven. Place the baking sheet full of buns on a wire rack to cool. Prepare the glaze, then spread it over the warm buns. Let the buns continue to cool on the baking sheet. When completely cool, fill a cake decorating bag, fitted with a round tip, with icing. Pipe an icing cross on each bun. Or... simply spoon narrow stips of icing, in the shape of a cross, on each bun.








To prepare this recipe without a bread machine, use this mixer method -


Mix the yeast, 1 cup flour, sugar, salt, and other spices in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the milk and water together. Combine the dry ingredients mixture, the liquid ingredients, and the butter in a large bowl. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes at medium speed. Add the egg and beat 1 more minute. Stir in the raisins, fruit, and enough of the remaining flour to make a firm dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 to 7 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Use additional flour if necessary. Place in a lightly greased bowl; turn over to grease the other side of the dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place. After about 15 minutes, test the dough to see if it has risen sufficiently and is ready to be shaped. To test, gently stick two fingers into the risen dough up to the second knuckle... take them out. If the indentations remain, the dough is ready. Continue to follow the preparation directions above, from the **.Good bread machine hot cross bun recipe?

I love Challah and have made that the most often. I like it with a lot of poppy seeds.





Next best is Aloha Bread with the crushed pineapple. Made that many times.





Lastly, I've used it just to mix my pizza dough successfully a number of times.





I've made Hot Cross Buns several times OK -- never using a bread machine. It's not in any of my bread machine books. Sticky %26amp; sweet little things. Thank you Cister for recipe.
