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.

You still have two or three weeks to practice making these rolls. If you have questions, I'm just an email away.

"Fences might make good neighbors, but sharing homemade bread makes friendlier neighbors." --Paula 🤗

p.s. Thank you for sharing this email with a friend who thinks their bread machine is worthless.

I love summer and celebrating with family. It's the best time for homemade hamburger buns, ice cream, and watermelon. This week, there is something for everybody--hamburger buns for the bread makers, creme fraiche ice cream for the yogurt makers, and espresso (or coffee) ice cream for coffee lovers. If you like watermelon like I do, check out this post for "How To Pick the Perfect Watermelon" by Rachel Teodoro. Her method works better for me than thumping. Bread Machine Hamburger Buns These...

Hello Friends, I hope your summer (or winter, to my southern hemisphere friends) is off to a good start. After taking a break and a nice vacation, I came home with a rip-roaring case of acute bronchitis. This isn't my first go-around with the stuff, but it's been a while, and I forgot how long it takes to get over the coughing. Thankfully, I'm on the mend. Reader Question: Can I substitute oil for butter in a yeast bread recipe? Substitutions can be challenging. Since I can't test for every...
