- Turn on the oven on bake 180°C
- Once Bread maker biped. take the ready-made dough out of the pan and put it into the big dish and cover it with the tea towel, put it into the warm place for 20 minutes. I usually put it outside when it is sunny, or on the stove, while your oven is hot the stove will remain warm.
- You will notice after 20 minutes that the dough has risen half size bigger. Lift the towel and take the dough out, cut off one-third of it, put it aside and knit the rest of the dough 4 times shaping it into the ball, return it to the dish covering it with the tea towel again.

Frosting For Crosses :
- Take all the ingredients, put it into the bowl and beat it until smooth.
- Take a thin brush and brush it upon the bans forming crosses. Just make sure you cooled them because the frosting with not go upon hot buns, they have to be warm, not hot.
