Buns of Awesome

So, with these, proofing the yeast makes for a nice light bun. I sometimes add shredded cheese or parmesean, or some herbs to the dough, depending on what i am making them for. regardless, they are yummy in all ways. One fun modification: if you have muffin tins, pull pieced off the dough, and drop three balls into each muffin cup. no liners!! rise as usual, and bake till golden brown. and voila! cloverleaf rolls!


Ingredients:
2 cups warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1/4 cup margarine, melted
1/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup white sugar
2 (.25 ounce) packages instant yeast
2 teaspoons salt
6 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed


Method:

1. In a large bowl, stir together the milk, margarine, warm water, sugar and yeast.

2. Let stand for about 5 minutes.

3. Mix in the salt, and gradually stir in the flour until you have a soft dough.

4. Divide into 25 pieces, and form into balls.(for hotdog buns, make balls, then roll em in your hands till they are little elliptical spheroids) Place on baking sheets so they are 2 to 3 inches apart.

5. Let rise for 20 minutes.

6. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

7. Bake the rolls for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool slightly, serve as hamburger buns, dinner rolls, hot dog buns, whatever you like!
