Growing up every year on Good Friday we would make Hot Cross Buns. Since getting married and raising my own family I have done the same thing. It is such a fun tradition. BAP and SSP love the excitement of seeing little rolls with frosting crosses pop out of the oven. This year I tried a new recipe. They did not look so pretty (so no picture) but they were delicious; we all loved them. If you have every watched the show "The Great British Bake-Off" you would recognize the familiar name of Paul Hollywood. This recipe is his...delicious.

Dough
4 cups flour
2 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 T yeast
2 eggs (I accidentally forgot)
1/2 cup water warmed with 1/2 cup warm milk
2 T butter melted in the milk and water
Fold in:
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup peeled and finely diced apple
1/3 cup orange marmalade, melted
Cross
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
just a enough water to make a thick paste
Glaze
1/4 cup orange marmalade, melted
Mix together in a large mixing bowl the dough ingredients; fold in apple raisin mixture. Let rest covered and rise until doubled. Shape into 12 rolls. Place on parchment paper. Let rise again. While rising this second time preheat oven to 425. Next pipe on crosses. Bake 20 minutes. When rolls are still warm brush on the melted marmalade. Let cool slightly and enjoy.
