Super Simple Air Buns Recipes

MOM'S AIR BUNS (ROLLS)

Steps:

• Mix the 1/2 cup warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar, and allow to proof.
• Melt the lard, and mix in sugar, salt, vinegar, and warm water. When body warm, add the proofed yeast, and beat in 1 1/2 cups flour. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• Knead in approximately 3 cups more flour.
• Let dough rise till double (approximately 2 hours).
• Deflate dough, and form into buns, any size, (I make 16 large) or loaves. Rise till double (takes approximately one hour, but depends on size/shape chosen).
• Bake buns at 350°F for approximately 20 minutes.
• For ABM, in my machine, on the "dough" cycle, I use 2 teaspoons of bread machine yeast, and I reduce the water to about 1 1/2 cups, the flour to 4 cups, adding a tad more water or flour as it kneads to get a smooth,soft ball of dough. I leave the other ingredients as posted.

TWENTY MINUTE BUNS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Add oil, 2 cups of flour and the salt; stir well to combine. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into three equal pieces. Divide each big piece into 6 small ones. Form the pieces into rounds. Place the rounds into the prepared pan. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in volume, about 20 minutes.
• Beat together the egg white and water. Gently brush the risen rolls with the egg wash and then bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.

TASTY BUNS

Steps:

• Stir together 2 cups flour and the yeast. In a separate bowl, heat milk, water, oil, sugar and salt to lukewarm in microwave. Add all at once to the flour mixture, and beat until smooth, about 3 minutes.
• Mix in enough flour to make a soft dough, 2 to 3 cups. Mix well. Dust a flat surface with flour, turn dough out onto floured surface, and let rest under bowl for about 10 minutes.
• Shape dough into 12 slightly flat balls, and place on greased baking sheet to rise until doubled in size.
• Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

HOW TO MAKE AIR BUNS IN 10 EASY STEPS

Steps:

• Mix liquid ingredients with sugar - In a small bowl, mix warm milk, warm water, vegetable oil, and sugar then sprinkle the yeast evenly. Stir to combine, and let it sit for 5 minutes until it blooms.
• Mix flour and salt and incorporate - In another large bowl, combine flour and salt. Incorporate it evenly then make a well. Next, beat one egg, and add it to the bloomed yeast mixture. Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to mix it until it comes together to form a dough.
• Pour out the dough - Pour out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth. Add more flour as much as needed, to know if the dough is ready; use the windowpane test to ensure that the gluten strands are well-developed.
• Grease a large bowl - Lightly grease a large bowl with oil and put the dough, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 1 hour, or until it doubled in size.
• Punch down the dough - Punch down the dough; place it on a floured surface. Knead it until the dough is smooth.
• Shape the air buns - Cut the dough into 16 portions. Form a letter "C" with your hand and let the dough rotate until it forms a ball.
• Let the dough rest - Line the baking sheet with parchment paper, place the dough balls, and cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven - Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• Egg wash the dough - Don't forget to egg wash the dough
• Bake your air buns - Bake it for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls have lightly browned and doubled in size.

SUPER SIMPLE AIR BUNS

Steps:

• 1. In a large metal bowl combine water (this water should be tap hot, NOT BOILED if it's too hot you'll kill the yeast, if it's too cool it won't activate), sugar, salt and Vegetable Shortening. Stir until shortening has almost completely dissolved or is in very small lumps.
• 2. Sprinkle four cups of flour across the top of the liquid mixture creating a "blanket" effect (this is important) sprinkle on yeast.
• 3. Working quickly whisk in the yeast and flour to mixture, then switch to a wooden spoon and stir in another 2 cups of flour.
• 4. From this point forward your flour amounts will vary. Due to weather, climate, altitude etc the dough will continue to accept any where from another 1 to 2 and half cups of flour.
• 5. Knead in as much flour as the dough will accept until it is no longer sticky and feels smooth on the exterior. This takes usually about 15 minutes of good kneading and you'll be surprised at how much flour the dough will take.
• 6. Wash out metal bowl with hot water and dry thoroughly (do this quickly as you want the bowl to stay warm), place dough in bowl and cover with a clean tea towl.
• 7. Let rise 1 hour.
• 8. Punch down dough and let rise another 30 minute.
• 9. Shape dough into balls (this can vary based on desired finish product bun size. eg golf ball dough will rise and bake to about a small dinner roll size. I usually make them about the size of a small clementine for larger lunch size buns) and place on a greased cookie sheet.
• 10. Pre Heat Oven to 400 degrees. Cover and let rise another 1 hour, they will have doubled in size by then.
• 11. Bake in 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. You'll know buns are done by their golden color.
• 12. If you'd like a super soft exterior to these buns rub with a small amount of butter or margarine immediately after removing from the oven. This isn't necessary and the buns are excellent without this step.

AIR-FRYER STICKY BUNS

Steps:

• Grease two 8-in. round baking pans that fit in air fryer. Cut thawed bread dough in half; roll each half into a 10x8-in. rectangle. Combine cream cheese, coconut and orange juice concentrate; spread mixture on dough. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with long side. Cut each roll crosswise into eight slices; place in prepared pans. Cover; let rise until almost doubled, about 1 hour. , Preheat air fryer to 325°. In a microwave, melt butter and honey. Spoon 1 tablespoon butter-honey mixture over each bun. In batches, place pans in air fryer; cook until tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Immediately invert onto a serving plate. If desired, top with toasted coconut and orange zest.
