Holiday Buns, This is one of those old family recipes a friend a wonderful baker of bread, buns and rolls shared with me good many years ago Over the years it has been the one I make for holiday meals and special occasions not surprisingly they began to be called the ‘Holiday Buns’ My most requested recipe when family gathers Shapes beautifully to make crusty buns, fluffy dinner rolls as well as lovely braided breads which I often sprinkle with sesame seeds Recipe easily halved and very freezer friendly , I am hopeful for this recipe I have made it twice so far Since I am learning I cann’t rate recipe as any fault is not theres but mine It did turn out better this time than last time Hopefuly I can learn as bread making is an art I want to acquire and everyone has given this recipe top ratings I also used butter instead of margarine as Things are so much better with butter I think for me I would have to half recipe next time as dough is too heavy for me to knead as much as I should This time it made 5 dozen rolls , I am hopeful for this recipe I have made it twice so far Since I am learning I cann’t rate recipe as any fault is not theres but mine It did turn out better this time than last time Hopefuly I can learn as bread making is an art I want to acquire and everyone has given this recipe top ratings I also used butter instead of margarine as Things are so much better with butter I think for me I would have to half recipe next time as dough is too heavy for me to knead as much as I should This time it made 5 dozen rolls

After Rising 15 Minutes Press Down Lightly on Top of Each Bun With the Palm of the Hand.( If Wishing to Make Dinner Roll Shaped Buns Skip This Step) Rise Until Double. Bake in a Preheated 350 Degree Oven For 20 - 25 Minutes Until Lightly Browned -- Brush With Melted Butter and Bake a Couple Minutes More Until Nicely Browned. Brush With Melted Butter When Baked and Cool on Rack. the Extra Brushing With Butter Makes For a Very Nice Top. Baking Time Depends on the Oven and Yield on the Size of the Buns. |
