Can’t get enough of our famous buns?
You can make them yourself,
and here’s how. Also check out our FAQ section below:
In a large bowl, add these
ingredients in the following order:
- 12 ½ cups bread flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 Tblsp salt
- 3 Tblsp instant yeast
Mix together, then add:
- 1 cup oil
- 1 egg
- 4 cups warm water
Mix to form a ball then kneed
for 10 to 15 minutes
Let rise for about 1 hour at
room temp, then cut into 5 loaves or about 60 buns
Arrange on sheets or pans
Let rise again until double
in size (about 1 to 2 hours)then bake at 350 until golden brown, slather with
butter and you’re in awesome country!
Buns typically take about 8
to 10 minutes, loaves take around 30 minutes
Keys to Prospector Bun Awesomeness:
Don’t
be afraid to work up a sweat while kneeding
Don’t cut down on any
ingredients
You can use up to half of whole
wheat flour for a healthier option, but otherwise sticking to bread flour is
your best option

what happened?

forgot the salt or the yeast

water in the oven
