My Ultimate, Easy to Bake Bun Recipe

by Autumn Youngs October 21, 2020

All right! Here is my absolutely no fail white bun recipe.

Thanks to you Auntie Debbie ( I totally stole your recipe!) it is because of you that for over 12 years I have never had a problem making buns! 🥰 The family thanks you as well!

Makes approximately 4 dozen buns

In a large mixing bowl add:

3 cups warm water

2 eggs

2 tbsp salt

3 rounded tbsp quick rise* yeast

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup white sugar

Stir together, then add white flour.

Add the flour and mix with a wooden spoon until you can no longer stir. Then knead the dough while adding more flour until it does not stick to your hands any longer.

You will use approximately 8 cups of flour.

Cover the dough with a plastic bag and tea towel to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Uncover, sprinkle with flour and punch down the dough one more time. Cover again and let sit for 30 minutes to rise.

Put buns on a greased cookie sheet to rise for approximately 30 more minutes until doubled in size.

Bake at 375° for 15 to 18 minutes until brown.

My absolute favourite way to eat white buns is warm, with a lot of butter and homemade raspberry jam!!

Enjoy!
