So....I found that 120F is way to hot, and just might have killed my yeast. Another reviewer also noted that if the liquid is too hot to touch, then it will kill the yeast. Anyhow, this made decent cracker style pizza dough. Also, the yeast fermenting might not create enough warmth. So I was advised to turn on the oven at the lowest setting, and then turn it off. The temperature should be between 80-90F when you put the dough inside to rise. You should be able to keep your hand in the oven for a few minutes. I will try again with new yeast, and update my review. Thank goodness I only made half the recipe.

This is a great recipe. I made it exactly as specified except I put in 2 teaspoons of salt. I put the ingredients in my bread machine and used my dough cycle. Once the dough had rested for 10 minutes, I worked it until it was able to shape it into rectangle and instead of forming balls of dough and flattening them, I just used a big round biscuit cutter to make each bun. I let them rise another 1/2 hour and they came out perfect. I did rub butter on them when they came out of the oven to keep the crust soft. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

"WOW!" That's exactly what my husband said after the first bite. This recipe is GREAT. It was really easy. I followed the recipe exactly because this was the first time I made it. I did brush the tops with egg before baking, as a few people suggested. I made 12 hamburger buns, though they were kind of big. Next time, I might try 14 of even 16. The texture of these buns is NOT like the cheap Wonder Bread buns at the store. These taste fancier, more gourmet, like something you'd get at a nice sandwich shop or restaurant. They are NOT like the dense, heavy, brick-like buns I've made before. They were light, almost fluffy, but sturdy enough to hold a big, juicy hamburger loaded with toppings. I also waited until they were cool, sliced them all in half, and stored them in freezer bags. They thaw beautifully. About 30 seconds in the microwave, and they taste like they just came out of the oven. I will DEFINITELY make these again. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Thank you, Sally!

I will be a chef soon and I do like to make bread and am always trying new recipes. I followed this one as is and was disappointed big time. The problem was with the proof time given. So I made them again this morning and allowed them to double in size before putting them in the oven. They were good. I did half as indicated in the recipe and I have the other half in its' second rise. i have a feeling they will be better. Hi folks!!

These were wonderful and really easy to make. They came out soft and light. It took less than an hour from start to finish for me, as I heated the butter mixture in the microwave I used regular yeast and let the milk mixture cool a bit, then proofed the yeast in it then mixed everything in my KA, let them rise in a warm place for about 30 min and baked them for 11 min. Perfection. They also freeze well.

I have made this a number of times and I'm getting better at it each time. It’s great, my kids love it. Now they don’t want me to buy bread from the store anymore. Thank you. Ps. Different flour has different taste and rise also.
