Mom'S Air Buns (Rolls) - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 tablespoon yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup lard (I use shortening)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 1/2 cups white bread flour
3 cups more white bread flour
Preparation
-
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\u00b0F 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.
