  5. Place batter/dough in breadmaker and use the dough cycle, mixing in the sultanas when the 'Add-ins' beep sounds or at the very end of the mixing cycle.
  6. At the end of the cycle, carefully spoon the risen batter/dough into muffin tins, smooth the top with wet fingers, and glaze with a mix of soy milk and honey (or your preferred glaze). Pipe or drizzle crosses on top using a mix of rice flour and water.
