The flavor of these buns was great. The time rating on this recipe is not correct at all though. The whole process took almost 2 hours with both risings. It also took a whole lot more flour than listed. I used 7 cups (half white, half wheat) and then had to add some more when I rolled out the buns since the dough was too sticky to work with. The directions were not as clear as I would have liked for something I had never done before. For example, the directions keep saying to add things, but doesn't say if you were supposed to mix in between each addition, which I did. Everyone loved these buns and they rose superbly, so I will make them again. I just would have liked the directions to be more specific. Next time I want to try a cream cheese filling.
