Soft Sandwich Buns

I made these to hold sloppy joes and my family LOVED them. I only used half of the dough because it's just the three of us here. I put the other half in the freezer for later use, and I'm glad I did! Soft, tasty, and held up under the sloppy joes really well. When I made them, I used 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of beer. I can tell you that even w/out the small amount of beer these would have been awesome!

I do not have a bread machine, so this is what I did: I warmed up the milk enough to still be able to put my finger in it without burning it. Then, I put the milk, sugar and active dry yeast(used instant)into a food prcessor, and let it rest until bloomed. I then added the rest of the ingredients, mixing slowly while adding the flour a little at a time. I increased the speed until the dough was soft, smooth and well kneaded. I removed from processor and kneaded a little by hand with a little flour. I then lightly oiled a bowl and turned the dough inside to make contact all over with the oil. Covered with towel, and let it double in size in a warm place. (can also do it in the fridge overnight). I then cut chunks of dough and formed into balls and placed in greased pan. (I actually grease thick aluminum foil that I line the pan with for easy cleanup!). Covered again with towel and let rise about 30 more minutes or so. I did not butter the tops, since they are already well oiled from the bowl! Baked in 350 oven for about 20 minutes(10 minutes was not nearly enough!). They came out so fluffy, beautifully golden, and absolutely delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

This is a great recipe...my family loved these buns! I followed the recipe exactly and baked them at 350 for 15 minutes and they came out perfect. Very easy to work with, I let them rise a little longer than 40 min. I will be making these again and again!
