i just bought the book, and i had to try these, because of all the great reviews. i used active dry yeast, which i proofed with the 1 cup of water, slightly warmed. then i just proceed on from there. i did have to use more flour than specified (humid singapore weather); i weighed it -about 14 1/2 ounce. try not to omit the onion powder (1 tsp), it gives a wonderful taste to these. i made them into 10 mini pig-in-blankets, and 6 cheddar rolls (rolled small pcs of dough around cubed cheese & topped with bits of cheese) and 1 mini cinnamon raisin loaf. totally yummy. the dough is quite sticky to work with.

I kind of rushed this recipe so I went with the shortest time for each step, they were a little harder than normal buns. My hubby thought they were great, my daughter, who is newly wearing braces, had a little trouble. I liked the taste and the fact that I did not have to run to the store to get buns. The leftovers also went very well with the spaghetti we had for dinner the next night. I will definatley make these again and take a little more time. thanks!

Definitely 5+ stars. The texture of these buns are fantastic.I don't think I will go back to store bought burger buns. These were very easy to make. I warmed the water and the butter in the microwave to lukewarm and mixed the egg into this before adding to the dry ingredients. I used the onion powder in the batter. Thanks for the great recipe.
