hamburger buns

July 1, 2010

My penchant for making things I could buy in the store continues. I really don’t know what it is. I just. really. like it. I’ve been making all our sandwich bread for a year now, and my ambitions are now turned to learning to make all the other sorts of bread we eat–buns, ciabatta, etc. [...]

Also, she modifies it sometimes to add half wheat flour and you can’t taste one bit of difference. I find that the wheat flour also magically keeps the bread even more moist. [...]
