- 3/4 cup water 110 degrees
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon instant powdered milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
Buns
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick baking spray.
- In the order listed, place these ingredients into the bread machine: water, butter, powdered milk, sugar, 1 whole egg, 1 egg white (set the yolk aside), cinnamon, flour, and yeast. Program using the dough cycle.
- Add the dried fruit when prompted to add ingredients. If you don’t have that setting, when the cycle is completed, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat flat. Sprinkle with raisins and knead to combine.
- Cover and allow to rest for ten minutes.
- Divide the dough into twelve equal pieces. Form the dough into smooth balls and place them into the prepared baking dish.
- Cover and allow to rise in a warm place for about one hour or until doubled in size.
- Whisk together the remaining egg yolk and water for the egg wash. Brush evenly over the rolls.
- Place the buns in the oven and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the buns to cool on a wire rack.
