Tasty Buns

Excellent yeast buns that can be used for hamburgers or just plain dinner rolls. They don’t take long to make and have never failed for me!

Stir together 2 cups flour and the yeast. In a separate bowl, heat milk, water, oil, sugar and salt to lukewarm in microwave. Add all at once to the flour mixture, and beat until smooth, about 3 minutes.

Step: 3

Shape dough into 12 slightly flat balls, and place on greased baking sheet to rise until doubled in size.

Step: 4

Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

The quality of the flour can make a real difference to your bread. Different makers do vary. Great taste or Canadian flours, which are naturally higher in gluten, may give you a better rise than standard bread flours – especially if you’re making wholemeal dough , which doesn’t always rise as well as clear bread.

To made this in a breadmaker , add all the menus to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

A dough’s first rising can be done in the fridge overnight . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great timesaver , as you can work it night before , then clear it off the next day.
