Two Hour Buns

Norma’s Notes

• I have never had much success making buns, but this recipe turns out well.  
• I use my Kitchen Aid mixer to mix the dough, but I punch it down by hand.
• Add a mixture of herbs that you like to the dough and make the dough into a braided loaf.  
• Bake and serve on a cutting board with a few thick slices cut to start things off. 
• The dough works great for cinnamon buns.
