LEMON BUNS

These buns are the quintessential hot yeast bun -- but with an unexpected and refreshing jolt of lemon. The lemon elevates them beyond ordinary dinner rolls to something special. Tender and buttery, with a crisp, golden crust, they're distinctly and assertively lemon, but not sweet. This recipe was found on the King Aurthur Flour website. Posted for a request; I have not tried it.

Time 3h35m

Yield 20 Buns

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup lukewarm water
3/4 cup lukewarm milk
1/2 stick cup unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract or 1 tablespoon grated lemon, zest of
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar
4 1/3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons instant yeast
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/8 teaspoon lemon extract or 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemons, zest of

Steps:

  • ---Manual/MixerMethod---.
  • Combine all of the dough ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir to form a cohesive dough.
  • Knead the dough, by hand (on a lightly oiled work surface) or machine, for 5 to 8 minutes, until it's smooth, soft and supple; avoid adding too much flour, as this will make the buns tough and dry.
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise for about 1 1/2 hours, or until it's puffy, though it may not have doubled in bulk.
  • ---BreadMachine Method---.
  • Place all of the dough ingredients into the pan of your machine, program the machine for Manual or Dough, and press Start.
  • When the machine has completed its cycle, set a timer for 30 minutes, and allow the dough to continue to rise; it may crest the top of the bucket, but shouldn't overflow.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and divide it into 20 pieces.
  • Allow the pieces to rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Round the dough into balls, and place them in two lightly greased 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Cover the pans, and allow the buns to rise for about 1 hour, or until they're nice and puffy and have filled the pan.
  • While the buns are rising, combine the glaze ingredients, and set aside.
  • Brush the buns lightly with half of the glaze.
  • Bake them in a preheated 375°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
  • Remove the buns from the oven, and brush them with the remaining glaze.
  • Transfer them to a wire rack to cool.

LEMON BUNS

These sweet lemony rolls are always a hit no matter where I take them. I enjoy baking- especially with yeast- and this is one of my favorite recipes.

Provided by Taste of Home

Time 1h

Yield about 3 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 package (2.9 ounces) cook-and-serve lemon pudding/pie filling mix
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
2 teaspoons plus 3/4 cup sugar, divided
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
4 eggs, separated
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
8-1/2 to 9 cups all-purpose flour
GLAZE:
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Prepare pudding mix according to package directions; cover and refrigerate. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and 2 teaspoons sugar in warm water; let stand for 5 minutes. In a bowl, beat egg yolks and remaining sugar until thickened. Add the yeast mixture, milk, butter, salt, egg whites and 4 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 36 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheet. With thumb, make a large indentation in center of each ball; stretch to 3-1/2 in. in diameter. Place about 2 teaspoons of pudding in each indentation. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. For glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and enough milk to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle over warm buns.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor. Grating your own lemon zest ensures that you get the most flavorful and aromatic zest possible.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing can result in tough buns.
  • Allow the dough to rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to rise properly and result in light and fluffy buns.
  • Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Allow the buns to cool slightly before glazing. This will help the glaze to set properly.

Conclusion:

Lemon buns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their light and fluffy texture, zesty lemon flavor, and sweet glaze, these buns are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these lemon buns a try!
