I like this recipe as it is quite versatile. ie. bread sticks, meat buns, tri buns, cinnomon buns and regular buns. It is big enough that you can do all of the above, which I often do! You can also mix it up and add whole wheat flour,bran etc. instead of just white flour.
2 Tbsp. regular yeast
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 cup warm water
dissolve for 10-15 minutes
Mix in mixer:
2 eggs
4 cups warm water (Mom sometimes uses potato water for all or part of it)
2 Tbsp. vinegar
2 tsp. salt
1/2-2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup oil (or some type of fat - Mom often uses chicken fat or melted lard for part of this)
7 cups flour
Add yeast mixture. Mix until smooth.
Turn into a large bowl and add
7 more cups of flour
Kneed well. Let rise 1 - 1 1/2 hours in a warm place.
Punch down and let rise another hour.
Form into buns or desired shape/filling
Yield aprox. 4-6 dozen depending on what you make!
I have this old, green, duotang scribler full of recipes that I started collecting in my childhood when I first discovered my love of cooking. This book is now tattered with pages falling out and recipes written on scrapes of paper shoved in among the pages. It is time to rewrite the recipes so thought I would share them with you! You probably will not see picture but you can know these are tried and true recipes!!
Wondering do you have Grandma Pauls' meat bun recipe? Would love to see that recipe on here too!! I am enjoying your blog (I love recipes).
