BunsThis recipe works well using a large mixer with a large bowl and fitted with dough hooks. Begin with a coarse whisk, switching to a dough hook as the mixing becomes heavier.
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup oil
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp fermipan yeast
Mix first six ingredients and add 4 cups flour. Then slowly add 2 tbsp fermipan yeast that has been mixed with 1 cup flour. Continue to add flour (approx 8 - 10 cups total) until fairly stiff. Turn into large bowl and let rise until double in bulk. Punch down.* Let rise again until double. Shape into buns and let rise on pans. Bake at 350.
Variation: To make brown buns, use whole wheat flour for the first four cups. 1/4 cup wheat germ and 1/4 cup crushed flax can be added as well.
*I don't usually let the dough rise a second time. Once is enough for me! I've got things to do!

My goodness, what a woman! You own a bread machine but still make home-made-hand-made buns?
You are an inspiration.
(But I don't own one of those mixer things, so I may be off the hook!)
