MOM'S AIR BUNS (ROLLS)
This recipe for light, soft, buns did NOT come from my Mom, but it is so good that I dedicate it to all Moms who bake bread..or anyone who bakes bread for that matter! I will give the original recipe, but I admit that I now use the ABM to knead the dough, and will give instructions for this variation at the end. Preparation time is the length of time for the "dough" cycle on my bread machine. For anyone wishing to make 100% whole wheat buns,(a variation of this recipe, and equally delicious IMHO), I have submitted it as recipe #168802 with minor alterations. More tweaking...I now like Mom's 100% Whole Grain Air Buns, recipe #186744 even better for a healthier version.

Steps:
- Mix the 1/2 cup warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar, and allow to proof.
- Melt the lard, and mix in sugar, salt, vinegar, and warm water. When body warm, add the proofed yeast, and beat in 1 1/2 cups flour. Let rest for 15 minutes.
- Knead in approximately 3 cups more flour.
- Let dough rise till double (approximately 2 hours).
- Deflate dough, and form into buns, any size, (I make 16 large) or loaves. Rise till double (takes approximately one hour, but depends on size/shape chosen).
- Bake buns at 350°F for approximately 20 minutes.
- For ABM, in my machine, on the "dough" cycle, I use 2 teaspoons of bread machine yeast, and I reduce the water to about 1 1/2 cups, the flour to 4 cups, adding a tad more water or flour as it kneads to get a smooth,soft ball of dough. I leave the other ingredients as posted.

Add egg; beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on high for 3 minutes. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Do not knead. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes., Stir dough down. Fill 12 greased muffin cups half full. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 15 minutes., Bake at 350° until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Cool for 1 minute before removing from pan to a wire rack. Brush tops with melted butter.

Tips:
- Proper Temperature: Ensure the milk and butter are at room temperature. This helps the ingredients blend smoothly and results in a more consistent dough.
- Active Yeast: Check the expiration date of your yeast to ensure it's active. If using instant yeast, there's no need to proof it. Simply add it directly to the dry ingredients.
- Dough Consistency: The dough should be soft and slightly sticky. If it's too dry, add a little more milk; if it's too wet, add a little more flour. The dough should pull away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.
- Kneading: Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. This helps develop the gluten and elasticity, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.
- Rising: Let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp cloth to prevent the dough from drying out.
- Shaping: Before shaping the rolls, punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope and then shape it into the desired shape (knots, swirls, or crescents).
- Baking: Before baking, brush the rolls with melted butter or an egg wash to give them a golden brown color. Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are cooked through and have a slightly firm texture.
Conclusion:
Lace rolls are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a combination of simple ingredients and a little patience, you can create these beautiful and flavorful rolls that are sure to impress family and friends.
