HERB BUNS Recipe ~ 1 dozen buns

This recipe is from my ‘Gold Medal Century of Success Cookbook’ cookbook and makes a tasty Supper Bun.

I try to bake my breads on laundry day … that way I can rise them atop the warm clothes dryer ;-)

HERB BUNS Recipe ~ 1 dozen buns

1 pkt. active dry Yeast (or 2-1/4 tsp. bulk dry yeast) * 1 cup warm Water (105 to 115-degrees) * 1 tsp. Caraway Seed * ½ tsp. dried Sage leaves * ¼ tsp. ground Nutmeg * 2 TBSP. granulated white Sugar * 1 tsp. Salt * 1 Egg * 2 TBSP Shortening * 2-1/4 cups Gold Medal all-purpose Flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl. Add caraway seed, sage, and nutmeg; stir in sugar, salt, egg, shortening and 1 cup of flour. With electric mixer and dough hooks, beat until smooth. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. With rubber spatula, scrape batter from sides of bowl; cover and let rise in warm place until double in size – about 30 minutes.

Stir down batter by beating it with a large spoon about 25 strokes. Spoon into a greased 12-muffin-cup pan; filling each cup about half full. Let rise until batter reaches tops of cups – 20 to 30 minutes.
