1 tablesp. sugar

1 tablesp. dry yeast

2 tsp. salt

1-1/2 C warm water

1-1/2 tablesp. butter soft

1 egg white

4-1/4 +  Good bread flour (Robin Hood, Red bag Sams -25 Pds)

Optional: cornmeal

I use my kitchenaid mixer. (optional)

Mix sugar, yeast, salt, and water until yeast in disolved.

Make sure the water is not above 110 degrees. Add butter, eggwhite and 3 cups of the flour. Mix until well blended. Slowly add the rest of the flour until it does NOT stick to your fingers. You may need slightly more then the above recipe.

Turn dough onto floured board and knead for 8 min if you do not have a mixer. Place dough back into the bowl and let rise for 45 minutes.  Punch down and wait another 10 min. Grease a cookie sheet.

Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. You can use the rolling pin to make them a little bit flatter then a round ball but more oblong as in the picture. If you desire cornmeal on bottom of the buns...then sprinkle it onto a greased cookie sheet.

Bake 375 degrees for approx 25 min. Let cool on a rack. They freeze very well.

Remember, when you store flour, keep in a cool place in a tight container. Use it within 9 months.  Sams Club has excellent flour in a 25 pound bag that baker shops use. Otherwise use Robin Hood.  Using other flours may get poor results. Good Luck.
