Plain Buns Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together 2 cups flour and the yeast. In a separate bowl, heat milk, water, oil, sugar and salt to lukewarm in microwave. Add all at once to the flour mixture, and beat until smooth, about 3 minutes.
• Mix in enough flour to make a soft dough, 2 to 3 cups. Mix well. Dust a flat surface with flour, turn dough out onto floured surface, and let rest under bowl for about 10 minutes.
• Shape dough into 12 slightly flat balls, and place on greased baking sheet to rise until doubled in size.
• Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Pulse together the bread mix and sugar in a food processor or table-top mixer. While the motor is running, add the egg and about 250-300ml lukewarm water, until a soft dough is formed. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 5-10 mins. Leave in an oiled bowl, covered with oiled cling film, in a warm place until doubled in size - about 1 hr.
• Knock back dough by squashing with your fist, and divide into 20 even-sized pieces - keep covered with a clean tea towel so they don't dry out. Shape each into a sausage and place on an oiled baking tray. Cover with oiled cling film and rise until doubled in size again.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove film and cook buns on top shelf for 8-10 mins, until golden. Cool on a wire rack. To decorate, mix icing sugar with a little water until stiff but spreadable - add food colouring, if you like. Dip in the top of each bun and scatter with sprinkles.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
• Whisk flour and baking powder together in a bowl; stir in raisins. Whisk milk and eggs together in a bowl.
• Beat butter, sugar, and salt together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat egg mixture into butter mixture; stir in flour mixture until dough is just mixed.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat or roll out about 1-inch thick. Cut dough with a biscuit cutter or juice glass; place biscuits onto the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Dissolve 2 tablespoons yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in 1 cup water.
• Let stand until yeast rises to the top.
• Sift the flour.
• Dissolve 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons salt in 4 cups lukewarm water.
• Add vinegar and oil.
• Add to flour.
• Add yeast mixture and mix well.
• Kneed dough until smooth.
• Let rise for 45 minutes in warm oven.
• Punch down and let rise for 30 minutes.
• Punch down and form buns.
• Let rise for 2 hours.
• Bake at 400 for 10 to 12 minutes.
• **Buns may be stored in the freezer until ready to use**.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, sugar and butter. Heat until slightly warm to the touch then remove from heat and stir in the yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Mix in the eggs, oil and the yeast mixture. Mix until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of oil. Place the dough into the bowl and turn once to coat. Cover and let stand in a warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.
• Use remaining oil to grease a cookie sheet or 9x13 inch pan. For plain rolls, punch down dough and divide into 12 equal pieces. Roll the pieces into balls and place them into the greased pan side by side. Let dough rise for 20 to 25 minutes, or until almost double. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until rolls are golden brown.

Steps:

• Mix Yeast items and let stand in a large bowl (I like my tupperware thatsa bowl!).
• Knead out until dough is soft and does not stick to your hands.
• Cover and let rise 45 minutes.
• Punch down and let rise 30 minutes.
• Shape into buns and let rise for 2 hours.
• Bake at 375 for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.
