Easter Hot Cross Buns

"This is a traditional, slightly sweet, spiced treat eaten during Lent and on Good Friday. Serve at room temperature or warm."

Ingredients :

• 3/4 cup lukewarm milk, divided
• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided, or more as needed
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 cup softened butter
• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 cup golden raisins, chopped
• 2 tablespoons orange marmalade
• Glaze:
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon milk
• Frosting:
• 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons milk

Instructions :

Prep : 40M	Cook : 16M	Ready in : 3H52M

• Stir 1/4 cup milk, yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar together in a small bowl; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk 3 cups flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, salt, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg together in a large bowl. Stir yeast mixture, 1/2 cup milk, softened butter, and eggs into flour mixture with a wooden spoon until well incorporated; stir in raisins and marmalade. Dough will be sticky.
• Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup flour onto work surface; turn dough onto surface and knead, incorporating additional flour as needed, until tacky but not sticking to fingers, about 10 minutes. Form dough into a ball.
• Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl with a clean towel and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
• Deflate dough; divide into 16 equal pieces and form into round buns. Place buns 1 1/2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheets; cover with a light cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk egg white and 1 tablespoon milk together in a small bowl. Use a sharp knife to score a deep cross on top of each bun; brush buns with egg wash.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Remove to cool completely on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.
• Place confectioners' sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons milk in a plastic sandwich bag; knead the bag until combined. Snip off one corner of the bag; pipe a cross into the scored lines on each bun.

Notes :

• This is my method for forming 16 equal pieces of dough: Cut dough in half. Work with one half at a time. Hand roll into a log; cut in half again. Roll each piece again; cut in half again; repeat once more; you will have 8 pieces. Repeat the process with the other half of the dough for a total of 16 pieces.
