Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups water, divided
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 tsp yeast
  • 3 1/2 cups white flour (might need more)
  • 1 tsp salt (can use 1-1/4 tsp)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (can use 3 tablespoons)

Directions:

  1. Place the kneader attachment onto the stand mixer.
  2. Proof the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in 3/4 cup water for 10 minutes or until foamy.
  3. In the stainless steel mixing bowl place 3-1/2 cups flour, salt, 1 tablespoon sugar and melted butter.
  4. When the yeast has proofed add to the bowl along with 3/4 cup warm water.
  5. Start kneading adding in more flour only if needed (total kneading time should take about 8 minutes) do not add in too much flour or the buns will be heavy, when finished kneading the dough should feel soft but semi-sticky and smooth and should stick to your hands only slightly when removing from the bowl.
  6. Remove the dough to a very lightly flour-dusted surface; cover with clean tea towel and let rest 5 minutes.
  7. Shape into a ball (the dough will come together nicely after resting).
  8. Place into a large greased deep glass bowl.
  9. Cover and let rise for about 60-90 minutes.
  10. To check if the dough is ready to be punched down, very gently stick two fingers about 1/2-inch into the dough, the dough is ready when the finger marks remain.
  11. Punch down dough and slice in half.
  12. Slice each half into 4 even pieces.
  13. Shape each piece into a round ball.
  14. Place balls spacing well apart onto a 10 x 15-inch greased baking sheet (2 balls across and 4 balls down).
  15. Cover and let rise 30-40 minutes.
  16. Bake at 375 for about 22 minutes or until light golden brown.
