I used this recipe to make 8 big sandwich buns. I used the bread machine to do the mixed and kneading and the recipe handled it beautifully. To make it a little more diabetic friendly I used 50% whole wheat flour and I did add 1/2 a teaspoon of salt and doubled the garlic powder. The result was a batch of very well risen and delicious buns that will make great sandwich's. :D
