I actually tagged this recipe for a friend of mine (& myself, too, of course!) since she's the one with the bread machine! Another time, though, I'll make this recipe without the machine, which should be easy enough! Anyway, we ended up making two batches, one for each of us! To top the buns off, we did a mixture of parmesan cheese & garlic powder & had GREAT TASTING BUNS! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup cooking game]
