I finally made these today, mixing the dough in my KitchenAid mixer, and they were so easy to make. The pictures and detailed instructions on the blog were very helpful,and my finished product was beautiful. Very professional looking! But the bread was a little heavy and dense. Not "light and fluffy" as one commenter said hers were! Since I'm not an experienced bread baker - yet! - I definitely want to try them again. I know that I'm not adept at judging the consistency of bread dough, especially bread dough made in a mixer, or at knowing when it is ready for the next step. I followed the recipe exactly as written - amounts, etc. Where do you think I might have gone wrong? Hi Audrey, If the buns were heavy, it could be in the way you were measuring your flour. If you scoop your flour, you can get more than 4.25 ounces(KAF standard for '1 cup'), and if there is too much flour in the dough, it makes it heavy and dense. We recommend fluffing the flour in the container, sprinkling it into the cup, and leveling it off with a straight edge. This gives you close to the 4.25 ounces. Hope this helps!
