Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 1/3 cup milk (at room temperature)
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter (at room temperature)
  • 3 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp bread machine or instant yeast

Instruction

  • Measure all of the ingredients above, in the order they are listed, into your bread machine.
  • Choose the Dough Cycle.
  • 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.
  • Shape each portion of dough into a ball.
  • 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!
  • Grease an 8 x 8 baking pan with oil.
  • 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.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • 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.
