Cranberry and Lady Grey Hot Cross Buns (in the bread maker)

Resurrecting this blog for my yearly Easter hot cross buns recipe! This year I chose a tea-infused bun with mixed peel, cranberries, and mixed raisins. My dried fruit was quite old and needed using up, so I soaked them in hot (just boiled) water for 20 minutes before draining them. Whereas for last years buns I did the Delia Smith method of cutting strips of dough and placing them on top for the crosses, this year I made a smooth dough mixture and piped it on. It turned out really well, so I definitely recommend piping them on if you can.
