1. Combine everything in a bread maker (we will not bake in it) or use a stand mixer to combine all of the ingredients.

2. I place everything in the mixing bowl in the order listed.

3. Mix all together and knead the dough for about ten minutes.

4. Let the dough rise covered with buttered plastic wrap until double in size.

5. Roll the dough out and roll up and slice into 12 sections.

6. Roll the rolls or mold them so the rough edges are folded under and the top of the rolls are smooth.

7. Preheat your oven to (350°F) = (176°C).

8. Remove the plastic wrap when the rolls have doubled in size.

9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly brown and cooked through.

While the hot cross buns bake, mix the apricot jam and the powdered sugar.

1. You will glaze the hot cross buns while they are warm with a pastry brush.

2. When they cool down, use a tube of white frosting gel to make the "crosses" on top of the buns. Enjoy.

Add the ingredients listed to the Baking Pan in the order listed.

1. Set the Baking Pan into the Main Body and close the lid.

2. Insert the Power Plug into an electrical outlet.

3. Press the "COURSE" UP button until it reaches Course #11 (for DOUGH ONLY), this is what I did today.

4. Push the Start button.

5. You'll also see the word "Rest" next to #11 telling you that it is in the "rest" phase as the unit warms up the ingredients.

6. This "rest" phase should last about 20-25 minutes.

7. You'll hear the unit move into the "knead" phase as the kneading blades start spinning to knead the dough.

8. The screen will change from "rest" to "knead" during this period.

9. After a few minutes, the unit will make a buzzing sound and you'll notice the word "add" flashing on the screen. This is the appropriate time to add things you want to your dough, like nuts, raisins, etc. You can open the lid, add the desired additional ingredients, and then close the lid without changing any of the settings.

10. Once the knead phase is complete you'll see the word "rise" on the screen next to #11. This is the phase where the yeast kicks in and does its thing.

11. When there are approximately 30 minutes remaining in the dough-making process, you'll see the time setting change from the estimated completion time to 30 minutes, which means there is that much time remaining. This clock setting will change in 1-minute increments until the dough-making phase is finished. When I could see the dough was ready through the glass opening in the lid, I skipped the machine's following steps. I turned off the machine and unplugged it.

12. After it stops, you remove the dough from the Dough Bread Pan.

13. Roll the dough out and roll up and slice into 12 sections. Roll the rolls or mold them so the rough edges are folded under and the top of the rolls are smooth.

14. Place the Hot Cross Buns into your greased baking pan, cover with plastic wrap and let double in size.

15. Remove the plastic wrap.

16. Preheat your oven to (350°F) = (176°C). Remove the plastic wrap when the rolls have doubled in size. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly brown and cooked through.
