Recipe: Bread Maker Hot Cross Buns

So I got it into my head to make hot cross buns this morning while I was at home with my sick kiddo. I'm all proud because, though I was out of non-hard boiled eggs, I still managed to make some delicious rolls, AND I wrote down what I did. Hope you enjoy it. Happy Easter!
