My Lil' Buns


These are the buns I'm talking about! What are you thinking of?

These rustic-looking buns are my success story of a Dinner Roll recipe from (again) The Pioneer Woman Cooks!. This woman is incredible with her fail-proof recipes. The bread is very light, soft and fluffy.

Recipe - (No Knead) Dinner Rolls
makes about 40 rolls
unused portions of dough can be frozen for future use.

Put the following into a pot and heat till just before the mixture boils. Cool to lukwarm (45mins)
480ml (2 Cups) Milk
100g (1/2 Cup) Sugar
115ml (1/2 Cup) Vegetable Oil (I used Olive Oil)
Stir in
280g (2 Cups) Plain Flour
1 Packet Dry Yeast

Stir in another
280g (2 Cups) Plain Flour

Cover the mixture and allow to sit for 1 hour.

Add into mixture and stir till combined the following:
70g (1/2 Cup) Plain Flour
1 level teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 tablespoon Salt

Form small balls of dough (wrap in fillings if desired) and place them in muffin tin. Let the dough rise in muffin tin till puffed-up (1-2 hours). Bake at 350degF for 10-15mins till golden brown, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
