Kaiser Buns

These buns are great for burgers, sandwiches or just warm with butter.


In a small bowl or glass measuring cup stir together;

1 cup of warm water
2 1/2 tsp of yeast


Set aside.

In a large bowl mix;

1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 tsp salt
2 cups of flour
2 tbsp of sugar

Add the yeast mixture to flour and beat until smooth. Stir in 2 more cups of flour to form a soft dough. Let rise in oven with the light on, or in a warm place for 1 hour.

Punch down. Form buns (8 to 12) and make cuts in the top like an X, and let rise again for 20 to 30 minutes.

Bake at 400F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
