Look at My Buns!!!!

16 years ago

I tried my hand at making dinner rolls from scratch today.

Here is the end product. Can't wait to dig into them.

They're a myriad of sizes....some quite big others small.

But they look good!

No, you aren't alone! Our local mall was built when I was a teenager. I have NEVER been able to breathe in that building. I don't know what kind of air circulation system they put in, but it doesn't work well. Sometimes I'm in there for 5 minutes, sometimes an hour before I HAVE to leave. There are other malls with in half an hour or 45 minutes from me that I can walk all over in, but I can breathe in them, so it's easier to want to look around! As for the server, he needs fired! My thing is that everyone who works with food, be it restaurant kitchen or grocery store, non-register employees, or your local convenience store employees, and here I do include those who run register, as I know they all work deli!, should be required to take and pass the serve safe test. My son took baking and pastry in high school and passed his first try. Needs to renew it. He works in a convenience store as a shift leader, and those who work with him know they better follow the rules or listen to him b)*()&* at them! Tami

Rachelellen, check out my buns! (Chinese steamed, that is)

Guess what happened? I went over to a friend's house the other day to help her hang a mirror and I noticed that she had the old, Time Life series, "Foods of the World" cookbooks. My mother had those books when I was a kid, and I started thumbing through a few of them, reminiscing. I found the pictorial instructions on how to shape the flower buns that I first learned from! I know the text can't be read, so I'll type it up: 1. For each roll, pair two sliced rounds of dough, standing one on the other. 2. Push down firmly on each pair with a chopstick or blunt edge of a knife to press the rounds together. 3. Pinch both ends of the rounds together and pull them slightly away from one another. 4. Draw the ends of the rounds backward around the main part of the roll until they meet behind it. 5. Pinch the ends firmly together with your thumb and forefinger to secure them and keep the roll in shape. 6. Stand the roll pinched side down. It will look like a flower with teh oiled layers separated into petals. That cookbook series was probably one of the main factors in firing me with a desire to explore, try, and learn to cook the foods of other cultures. The recipes were fairly authentic, a good variety was provided in every book, and they were filled with details about the countries, the peoples, and the cultures. Also plenty of color pictures of the food, the people and the scenery.

RECIPE: Looking for Hot Cross Buns - very light & yeasty
Q
Comments (2)
I've made these every year (usually 6-8 dozen) for the past 35 years or so- they are very light and yeasty. They are very popular with family and friends and the only kind DH will eat any more :-) Hot Cross Buns 450g/1 lb flour 2 sachets/3 tsp instant yeast 1 tsp caster/superfine sugar 300ml/10 fl oz milk 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp mixed spice/pumpkin pie spice 1 tsp salt 50g/2 oz (by weight) caster sugar 100g/4oz (by weight) currants 25g/1 oz (by weight) mixed peel 50g/2 oz/1/2 stick melted butter 1 beaten egg Mix yeast, 100g/4 oz flour and 1 tsp sugar in a bowl. Warm milk to blood heat, add to mixture and leave half an hour or until frothy. Sift remaining flour with salt, spices and sugar. Pour butter and egg into batter, mix well, then add spiced flour and fruit. Knead 10 minutes, leave to rise, punch down, knead lightly and divide into 12. Roll each piece into a bun and place close to each other on a greased sheet to rise. Make a flour and water paste and place a cross on each bun. Bake at 190C/375F 20-25 minutes. Glaze hot buns with 25g/1 oz sugar dissolved in 3 tablespoons water. Brush glaze on hot buns with a pastry brush.

"They're a myriad of sizes....some quite big others small." That's the way it is with all buns.

LOL!

Nicole, I did these all by hand. Didn't use the bread machine. A lot of people use the bread machine for buns and bread. I haven't yet. Let me know how yours turn out.

Takes a long time....letting the dough rise twice, took most the day, but I'm proud of them.

LOL, Glenda! Those are mouth-watering. It's not very nice to tease us with that picture though, missy! Not unless you plan to share. Hope they taste as good as they look.

Yummy! Reminds me of all the bread/rolls/buns my mom used to bake when she was living. I use my bread machine for dough too....especially pizza dough.
I have a great setup with our DIL....she doesn't like making the pizza dough, but she loves doing all the toppings. Soooo whenever we need a pizza fix, she does the toppings and I make the dough. Works out great LOL!

Pass the butter please :))

After the bra thread this was not at all what I was expecting.

I haven't seen such nice buns since Bigbaby walked through the room.

I would offer to rub some butter on your buns and take a taste, but these days I'd be accused of some kind of harassment...

However *I* think it's harassment to show pictures like this without being able to try them. There oughtta be a law...

I hear ya', Cynic. LOL

I love to bake homemade everything; however, I purposely never tried homemade breads, rolls, etc. cause I knew I'd eat all the goods before anyone else got home. :)

Oh Granlan, I remember with such fondness when my mother would be baking dinner rolls for the holidays. Start them the day before, about 3 or 4 PM as I recall and about 11 PM they'd be formed and rising. Then she'd be up about 3AM baking them. What a heavenly smell by which to be awakened! I'd often get up and keep her company (yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!) while she'd be baking them and doing all the other things while everyone else was sleeping. I'd grab the jar of peanut butter and attack the hot rolls from the oven. The melted peanut butter dripping on me and it was just plain wonderful. Fresh bread is such a treat! Sadly her health diminished and I never really learned her recipe. I know it was given to her by one of my aunts. But I still think of those times and our talks in the mornings, her head bobbing, dozing off a bit from exhaustion. What she did for us was never truly appreciated by the rest of the family. A very special person and great memories. All from bread??? LOL

I've made some a few times from different recipes, never quite capturing the same taste but memory could be different. But it's still good stuff. I think I should try making something today. If it weren't so warm and humid...

Look at My Buns!!!!
