Moms Air Buns Recipes

MOM'S 100% WHOLE WHEAT AIR BUNS (ROLLS) FOR ABM

Steps:

• Put water, butter, honey, salt and vinegar in the machine.
• In the bottom of a one cup measure, put 2 tablespoons of gluten, and then fill the cup with W.W. flour.
• Put that, and another 3 1/2 cups of flour on top of the liquids.
• Add yeast to surface, and programme for "dough" cycle.
• I make two 9 inch pans of rolls, each with 9 rolls per pan, and let rise until double (the rolls will fill the pans).
• Bake at 350°F (I use convection bake) for approximately 20 minutes. Rolls will be deeply golden and oh so yummy.

MOM'S BUNS

Steps:

• In a very large mixing bowl, add the sugar, oil and salt into the boiling water. let cool to lukewarm, then stir in eggs. If you think the water may to too hot for the eggs, temper them by putting the them into a small dish and very slowing pour about 1/4 c of the water on to them stirring with a fork the whole time. When mixed, pour them into the sugar/water mixture.
• In a separate bowl, stir the flour and yeast together, them add to the water mixture about 2 cups at a time. Exact measurements will vary, but the dough should be soft, not sticky.
• Dump the dough onto a lightly oiled cookie sheet and knead the dough. Clean and oil the large bowl it was in, put the dough in and brush with oil. Let is rise in a warm place (the oven - shut off, but with light on is a good spot) until doubled.
• Punch down, let rise until double again.
• Shape into buns and place into well oiled pans.
• Let rise, bake @ 350 for 20-25 min's until brown.
• Brush with butter when baked.
• This is a very large batch and can be halved. It is also a great dough for cinnamon buns and pizzas if you have some left over.

Steps:

• Put egg in a 2 cup measure, whisk, and add enough warm water to come up to the 1 1/2 cup line.
• Put this water/egg mixture, oil, honey, salt, vinegar, oats and seeds, in the bucket of the bread machine.

• In the bottom of a one cup measure, put 2 tablespoons of gluten, and then fill the cup with whole wheat bread flour.
• Put that, and another 3 cups of flour on top of the liquids.
• Add yeast to surface, and programme for "dough" cycle.
• You may need to add an additional tablespoon or two of water to give a smooth slightly sticky dough when the machine begins to knead.
• I make either 2 9" round cake pans of rolls, each with 8 rolls per pan, or one pan of rolls, and form the other half of the dough into a rounded loaf, and let both rise till double (the rolls will fill the pans).
• Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes for the rolls, and approximately 25 minutes for the loaf. The rolls will be deeply golden brown, and oh so yummy!
