burger buns

C. was having a hankering for rolls, as he calls them, and asked me to buy some. But why, I asked, when I can bake them instead? I found this recipe in my King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion. I really slapped the first attempt together and they turned out beautifully. The dough is very wet, so I strongly recommend using a bread machine (or a stand mixer) to knead it (as I did for my second batch) -- it's very hard to work with by hand. The end result is a slightly sweet, very tasty bun -- C. likened them to Portuguese Sweet Rolls (which he loves).
