dinner buns

My Mom&#x27;s Homemade Buns are the perfect dinner roll for any occasion! Incredibly soft and fluffy, use all purpose or whole wheat flour, make a big batch and freeze for later.

Mom's Homemade Buns

warm water ((105-110 degrees F -- warm but not hot))

yeast

sugar

water

unsalted butter

salt

all purpose or whole wheat flour

In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the warm water, yeast and sugar.

Let sit for 10 minutes or until bubbly -- this is how you know your yeast is working. This step is technically not required when using instant yeast, but I do it always anyways, so that I know my buns will be a success.

Proof the yeast

In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a very large bowl if you are kneading by hand), whisk together the 2 cups warm water, butter, 1/3 cup sugar and salt.

Add the bubbly yeast mixture and stir to combine.

Place the bowl in the stand mixer and put the dough hook on the machine. You can also knead by hand.

Add the flour, one cup at a time, and mix until nearly combined before adding more. You can use all purpose or whole wheat or a combination. Start with 4-5 cups flour, mixing until each is incorporated.

The closer you get to your dough being ready, the less flour you will add at once. We want a smooth, soft dough, never stiff, so we need to watch and stop adding flour at just the right moment.

Add up to 6-7 cups flour total, very gradually at the end, until the dough comes together in a smooth, soft ball and does not stick to the sides of the stand mixer. When you touch it, it should be smooth and slightly tacky but not sticky.

Place dough in a large lightly greased bowl (you can use the same bowl and grease it), and cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.

Set in a warm spot (I use the oven with the light on -- turn the oven on to preheat for 2-4 minutes before turning off and adding the dough) and let rise until doubled, about 1.5 hours.

Uncover dough, punch down, and roll out 20-24 rounds -- smoothing the top and pinching the seam in the back to smooth (see video for additional details).

Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and let rise (you don&#x27;t have to cover them) in a warm spot for 30 to 90 minutes (instant yeast will be quicker) until doubled.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until light golden brown.

Mom's Homemade Buns - SOFT and FLUFFY | The Recipe Rebel

Let your bread machine do all the mixing and kneading for these Homemade Dinner Buns!  Then shape the dough into buns and bake them in your oven.This is a great recipe for dinner rolls, tray buns and hamburger buns.

Homemade Bread Machine Dinner Buns

milk (at room temperature)

tbsp sugar

tbsp butter (at room temperature)

all purpose flour

bread yeast

Measure all of the ingredients above, in the order they are listed, into your bread machine.

Once the dough cycle has completed, remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and cover with a clean tea towel.  Let rise for 15 minutes.

After this time, divide the dough into 12 portions.

Now it’s time to shape the dough into buns.

Make sure your hands are lightly floured.

You want the tops of the buns to be taut, so while keeping the dough in a ball shape, you need to tuck the dough at the bottom of each bun, underneath as you roll.  You’ll get the hang of it as you roll them!

Then place the buns into the baking pan, in 3 rows of 4, spacing them out evenly.

Cover with a clean tea towel and let rest and rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.

When the buns are done rising, bake for 25 minutes. When the bread is done, it will sound hollow when you tap on it.

As soon as you take the buns out of the oven, brush the tops with butter.

Let the buns rest in the pan for about 20 minutes, then remove to a plate.

Such great recipes! Especially the white buns! Thanks for being so awesome!!

Holy cow, this is the best thing that’s ever come out of my bread machine! I actually divided the dough into 6 portions and gently rolled them into the shape of a hot dog bun and they came out perfect. I just used a rectangular dish to bake them in instead of a square one. Thanks so much for this recipe.

Really delicious and easy! I made 16 rolls instead of 12 and was very happy with the texture and taste. This is definitely one of my new go-to recipes.
