Awesome Breadmaker Buns

These are my go to, memorized, made weekly buns! They are easy to make and always usually turn out ;) My mother-in-law is an awesome bun maker and when I got married I had never made bread before, so to try and prove my culinary worthiness I was determined to make bread. Well it took two years of failed attempts and hockey pucks before I came across this recipe that turned out perfect for me on my first attempt! It is also very versatile, I have made it into bread loaves, substituted 1/3 of the all purpose flour for whole wheat, added seeds, wheat germ, you get the idea. 
 

Awesome Breadmaker Buns

2 1/4 c. warm water
1/2 c. canola oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
6 1/2 c. flour
3/4 Tbsp. salt
1/4 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. bread machine yeast (I usually use instant yeast)

Layer first 6 ingredients in your bread maker in order listed. Top with yeast, being careful not to touch liquid. Put on dough cycle and leave (I usually check after 5 minutes to make sure it is coming together, sometimes my machine will just spin in the liquid and not draw down the dry ingredients). When dough cycle is done, remove from machine and roll into balls (smaller than tennis balls). Place on greased pans, let rise till double in a warm place about 1 hour (I put my oven on Keep Warm for a few minutes then turn it off otherwise it gets too warm and this temperature seems to be perfect). Bake at 325 for 20 min. (important to note that I remove the buns while the oven is preheating).
