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.

Hello friends, I hope you had a good Easter. Where I live in Texas, we are excited about the eclipse on Monday. Reportedly, my backyard is "in the path." I wish you could join me. I recently received a good question from a reader about how to check yogurt without messing it up. It reminded me that it can be difficult for beginners to figure out when their yogurt is done or set. It's also easy to sabotage the incubation process while checking if it's not done carefully.

Hi Friends, I hope you are well and experiencing success in the kitchen these days. I've been thinking about our Easter celebration and making Hot Cross Buns (with the link I messed up in my last email, sorry) on Good Friday. Easter dinner and the egg hunt are planned for my house. When I get home from church, I want to have bread dough ready to shape into dinner rolls. One option is to make brown and serve rolls or refrigerate the dough the day before, but there's another way to have hot,...
