Time 40m

Yield 3 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups boiling water
1 cup quick-cooking oats
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup molasses

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine boiling water and oats; cool to lukewarm (110° to 115°). Meanwhile, dissolve yeast in warm water; stir into oat mixture. Add the eggs, molasses, oil, sugar and salt. Add enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top.

BROWN SUGAR BUNS OR ROLLS



Brown Sugar Buns or Rolls image

These are kind of like a cinnamon bun, but without the cinnamon and they're chewier. I actually got this recipe in my 7th grage home economics class and have hung onto it along the way! This was originally called Butterscotch Rolls but my daughter insists that they be called Brown Sugar Buns. Bet you can't eat just one!

Provided by andrea185

Categories     Breakfast

Time 27m

Yield 1 Roll, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup milk (I've used skim, 1%, 2% and homo over the years and they all work the same)

Steps:

  • Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin tin (I've used cooking spray and shortening with equal success).
  • Cream together butter and brown sugar in small bowl and place a generous teaspoon of mixture in each muffin cup. Set the rest aside.
  • In a large bown mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender, 2 knives or a fork incorporate shortening into flour until they're fully combined.
  • Make a well in the center and gradually add milk, stirring with a fork until a moist dough forms.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface and with a floured rolling pin roll as close as possible to a 30 x 30 cm (12 X 12 inch) square. Trim to form a square.
  • Spread reserved brown sugar and butter mixture over top, reaching all 4 sides. An offset spatula works really well for this!
  • Roll dough towards you and reposition seam side down. Slice in half, and then into quarters. Cut each quarter into 3 pinwheels, approx 1 inch each.
  • Place 1 roll in each muffin cup, with the filling up.
  • Bake in a preheated 425 oven for 12 minutes. I find they come out better when I turn my convection off so you may want to try that as well, if it applies. Keep an eye on them for the last couple of minutes -- you want to remove them from the oven while the sugar is still bubbling.
  • Use a spoon to remove them to a rack to cool right away, before the sugar cools. I put waxed paper under the rack to make clean up easier.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Rolls and Buns

Time 2h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups warm water (75 to 85 degrees F, 25 to 30 degrees C)
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
½ cup honey
2 cups bread flour
1 ⅔ cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon vital wheat gluten
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons sesame seeds for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Place the water, sugar, butter, honey, bread flour, whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, salt, and yeast into the pan of a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Set the machine for the dough setting, start, and allow machine to complete cycle.
  • Remove the bread pan with dough from the machine, and set pan into warm water (about 90 degrees F, 32 degrees C). Cover the top of the pan with a towel, and allow the bread to rise in the pan until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, punch down, and divide into 12 equal pieces for rolls, or 3 pieces for small loaves. Form the dough into balls.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spray the inside of the preheated oven with water, and immediately place rolls in oven. Bake until rolls are light golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. For loaves, bake until browned and they sound hollow when tapped, 20 to 25 minutes.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 3h10m

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for bowl
1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
2 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
1 1/8 teaspoons active dry yeast (from half a 1/4-ounce envelope)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup warm water (about 110 degrees)
1 large egg, beaten
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped

Steps:

  • Dough:Lightly brush a medium bowl with butter; set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine flours, wheat germ, yeast, salt, brown sugar, water, egg, and melted butter. Mix on medium-low speed, scraping sides and bottom of bowl once, until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Filling/Topping:Brush a 9-inch round cake pan with butter; set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and fluffy. Spread half of mixture over bottom of pan; sprinkle with half of pecans.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Gently roll into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle. With an offset spatula, spread remaining brown-sugar mixture on top, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Sprinkle with remaining pecans. Starting at a long edge, roll up dough like a jelly roll, then cut crosswise into 10 pieces. Place pieces in pan cut-side down, spaced evenly. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until buns are just touching and almost doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake buns until golden brown and topping is bubbling around sides of pan, about 25 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes. With a serving plate centered over pan, hold plate and pan together and carefully flip over. Lift off pan and scrape out any remaining topping onto buns. Serve immediately. (Assembled, unbaked rolls can be refrigerated overnight. Let stand at room temperature 90 minutes before baking.)

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Active dry yeast should be proofed in warm water (105-115°F) with a pinch of sugar for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy. If using instant yeast, no proofing is necessary, but it should still be dissolved in warm water.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic: This will help develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the buns a chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it passes the windowpane test (when a small piece of dough can be stretched into a thin, translucent sheet without tearing).
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will allow the yeast to ferment and produce gas, which will cause the dough to rise. The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75-80°F. If the dough is too cold, it will not rise properly; if it is too hot, it will rise too quickly and may become overproofed.
  • Shape the buns into your desired shape: You can make simple round buns, or you can get creative and make different shapes, such as braids, knots, or rolls. Once the buns are shaped, place them on a greased baking sheet.
  • Let the buns rise again before baking: This will allow the buns to rise a second time and become even fluffier. Cover the buns with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let them rise for 30-45 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
  • Bake the buns in a preheated oven: The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of the buns, but they are generally baked at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Brown sugar buns or rolls are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of different fillings and toppings. Whether you like them plain or fancy, brown sugar buns are sure to please everyone at your table.
