This is one of the best no fail recipes you can ever find for dinner buns. The best part is you make them either the night before or 2 nights before you are planning to serve them! I made this the night of the 23rd, baked them Christmas Eve morning and wrapped them up for dinner. They still tasted soft and fresh! Nothing like homemade bread! Your guests will be in awe of you!
My mom takes complete credit for this recipe. She has been making it for years! One recipe made 29 buns or 3 round pans like you see above. 1 pkg or 2 1/4 tsp of yeast
1 tsp of sugar
1/4 cup lukewarm water
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water
1 cup of sugar (a little under)
2 tbsp shortening
5 - 6 cups flour
1 tsp salt
In large bowl soak the yeast, 1 tsp sugar and 1/2 cup water for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients using 5 cups of flour. Begin kneading the dough, adding additional flour as required. Dough should be firm. Knead for 10 - 15 minutes.
Mix at 5 pm. Let rise in warm place covered with tea towel. Punch down at 8 pm and let rise again. Put in pans at 10 or 11 pm. Leave in cool place overnight (either the counter or in your fridge. If in the fridge pull out and let come to room temperature prior to baking). Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes. Brush tops with butter when out of the oven. Remove from pans and pull apart.
Enjoy
