I've just been waiting for the weather to cool down enough that I felt like turning on my oven. These buns turned out great, but were not without some mishap on my part. First of all, the recipe calls for "instant' yeast....but the front of the yeast packages say "Rapid Rise" not instant. It took me a bit standing and pondering all of the yeast packages before I thought to check the back.Then, I decided that I didn't want to mix these by hand so I decided to try the dough blade and my food processor.... I'm not sure what went wrong here, but they weren't rising... So, I tossed those and just mixed up another batch by hand. Well, I did the first part of the recipe with my regular mixed and then mixed in the second half of the flour with a spoon. As you can see, they turned out very nicely.
They taste delicious, too! I actually put a grilled chicken breast on my bun tonight. I can't wait until lunch tomorrow so that I can use one to make another sandwich for myself. The bonus to making your own buns is that you know exactly what is in them, which I like. I will definitely be making these a lot in the future.
