Best 6 Kittencals Subsandwich Buns Recipes

KITTENCAL'S SUB/SANDWICH BUNS

Steps:

• Prepare a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with a kneader attachment.
• Place about 3-1/2 cups flour in the bowl.
• Melt the shortening in the microwave; add to the bowl with the flour.
• In a measuring cup, measure out 1 cup milk, then add in 4 tablespoons sugar and the salt; heat until quite warm in the microwave, stirring to dissolve the sugar and salt.
• Pour the milk into the bowl with the melted shortening and flour; cover the bowl with a towel to keep ingredients warm.
• Proof the yeast in a 3/4 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar for about 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
• After proofing, add to the bowl and start kneading for about 3-4 minutes, then add in more flour as needed to create a soft semi-sticky dough, knead about 8 more minutes until smooth.
• Place the dough on a very lightly floured counter or board; let rest for 5-10 minutes, covered with a clean tea towel.
• Grease a large bowl, then place the dough into bowl to rise in a warm place for about 50-60 minutes (because of the amount of yeast, the dough should take a shorter rising time in a warm place).
• Punch down dough.
• Cut into pieces (I usually cut into 6 pieces), and shape large balls.
• Let dough balls rest for about 4 minutes (or just enough time to make shaping easier).
• Shape the dough into desired length for buns.
• Sprinkle a large cookie/baking sheet with cornmeal, or lightly grease with cooking spray.
• Place the long pieces of dough on a baking sheet (shape once again if you need to).
• Cover and let rise for about 25 minutes, or until doubled.
• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• Bake for about 22-25 minutes, or until dark golden brown.
• If desired after the second rising and just before baking, beat one egg white with 1 teaspoon cold water, then brush on buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

SOFT SANDWICH BUNS (DOUGH HOOK MIXER VERSION)

Steps:

• Combine milk, sugar, butter, and salt in small saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until butter melts. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm.
• Combine 1 cup bread flour, egg, yeast, and milk mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook; beat at lowest speed for 1 minute. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Add 2 3/4 cups bread flour; mix at next-to-lowest speed until dough cleans sides of bowl and sticks to dough hook, about 2 minutes.
• Place in lightly greased bowl, cover, and let raise in warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface, punch down to get out air bubbles, and shape into rolls, placing rolls onto 2 lightly greased baking sheets. Cover with waxed paper and let rise for another 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Brush tops of buns with melted butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes.

I used our leftover bun for garlic cheese bread, and it was fabulous! The dough is so supple, and the finished product is slightly sweet - delish! There were great! I used them to make roast beef dip sandwiches and they were just perfect served fresh and hot. Easy to slice too! Thanks, Kittencal. This recipe was easy to work with and the buns tasted great. I made into 8 instead of 6. Have been wanting to make sub rolls, and this recipe was a success. Thanks so much. My son had his bologna and cheese with mayo (I know, I know but it's the only thing he will take for lunch right now) sandwich on these every day this week. I sliced and froze them after baking and made his sandwich each morning with the frozen bread. Thawed by lunch, but stayed cold and didn't get soggy. Thanks so much! For someone such as myself that is not experienced with working with yeast, I would say that this is a wonderful bun recipe, with easy to follow directions. I made this by hand, and the buns turned out so light and airy, I do believe I will keep making this recipe for a long time to come. Thanks! EXCELLENT!!!!!I don't know what else to say! These were so easy. The dough is like a dream, so soft and supple. They baked up beautifully. I put some poppy seeds on a couple, sesame on a few, and I am so happy with this recipe! Thanks, Kittencal! My DH was wanting his sandwiches on BIG buns and I have been looking for the perfect bun recipe so I tried these...WOW. I've found that recipe. They came out so soft, BIG, and chewy, with that lite and slightly crispy crust. I made 6 but let them rise an extra 1/2 hour(I think the room they rose in was a little too cold for them.). They were so light. Just the way we all like them.
