Mix 2 1/2 cups of flour with the yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
Meanwhile mix hot water to margarine, to melt it, then add the egg and mix. Add liquids to drys/ Add flour a bit at a time until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Continue to knead in flour until it forms an elastic dough. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to rise until doubled in size. If using quick yeast, you can just let it rest 10 minutes at this point, then shape into balls and let rise until doubled.
If you have the time, let it rise first until doubled in size. Then shape into balls, and re-rise about 35 minutes. Preheat oven to 375-400 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly brown on top, or makes a hollow sound when tapped.
Add butter /margarine to tops when removing from oven.
Enjoy!
Ohhh need to try this with my daughter next week when she is home from college. Thanks for stopping by my blog..your newest follower :)
ReplyDeleteThanks CraftyCanadian! do try the buns, they are tasty and quick. If you want to get fancy (and I have seen your handiwork so you might want to) you can make different shapes of buns. Dividing each "bun" ball into three little balls and put them together will make a cloverleaf bun. Rolling into a long "rope" then making it into a knot makes a fun knotty bun. Rolling into a rope and turn it into a circle makes a bun that looks like a cinnamon bun in shape.
