I have tried several of the bun recipes, have decided I like this one the best and it is simple for me to do. I always weight the ingredients in grams and put everything in my Cuisinart mixer, using the dough hook and a rubber spatula, mix on 1 until everything comes together, then on 3 for 7 minutes for the kneading process, remove dough hook, cover dough with plastic wrap in mixing bowl. First rise generally 90 minutes, though yesterday it was so hot, it was only 30 minutes. Take dough out of mixer onto bamboo cutting board, divide into 8 pieces, round the pieces into a ball, place on muffin top cookie sheet. when raised put in preheated oven. When the buns come out of the oven, brush top of buns with butter. Cleanup is a breeze, dough hook, mixer bowl, rubber spatula and baking pan. The key to getting good buns is to let them rise sufficiently. I used Demerara sugar for a wonderful taste. Will also try the white whole wheat flour next time. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences. Community baking tips are the best! ~ MJ
