I use this recipe often for church get-togethers. Finger sandwiches are popular at these events, so I make these golden buns small and add sandwich toppings. They're a big hit with everyone. -Ruth Linscott, Millfield, Ohio Ingredients:
1 cup butter, cut into pieces |
1/2 cup honey |
2 cups boiling water |
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast |
1/3 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
3-1/2 cups king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour |
4 to 4-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
sliced ham, cheese and lettuce, optional |
Directions:
1. Place butter and honey in a large bowl; pour the boiling water over and set aside to cool to 110°-115°. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water; set aside. To honey mixture, add eggs, baking powder and salt. Add yeast mixture and whole wheat flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down; divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll each half to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in. cutter. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks. Make into small sandwiches, if desired, by filling with ham, cheese and lettuce, or serve plain. Yield: 4-5 dozen.
