BIG BATCH BUNS

My mother and I used to whip this up and make all kinds of things: bread, cinnamon rolls, bread sticks, roll little balls of dough in cinnamon and sugar and fry them, roll little balls in melted butter then coat with cinnamon and sugar and put them in a bundt pan for coffee cake....anything we could think of. (and I mean we'd make all those things out of one recipe - that's why it's called Big Batch Buns!!) We'd get one thing baking in the oven and then ask, "what else should we make?" We'd spend all day baking. Ahhh, great memories. I honestly have to say; servings, prep and baking time are a total guess. It depends what you make and how many things you make. :-)

1 3/4 cups water, very warm

  • Stir both mixtures together and add flour as needed to make dough that is not sticky. (This will be at least 8 cups, maybe more!).
  • Kneed for 15 minutes until dough is elastic (this is where the fun family time comes in - let each kid kneed for 5 minutes -- ) Place in a LARGE oiled bowl, cover and place in warm, draft free area to rise. (We always used the large - 32 cup - Tupperware bowl with the lid sealed on. When the lid pops off, it's ready to punch down.).

Tips:

  • Use a large bowl to mix the dough so that there is plenty of room for it to rise.
  • Make sure the yeast is active before using it. To do this, dissolve it in warm water with a little sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. If the yeast is active, it will start to foam.
  • Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour and make the buns light and fluffy.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will help to give the buns a light and airy texture.
  • Bake the buns in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

These big batch buns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and they can also be used to make sandwiches or sliders. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a batch of fresh, homemade buns that the whole family will love.
