How to Make 2 Hour Buns

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted.
  2. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually add 4-4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Lightly grease a large bowl with oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  4. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, punching down every 15 minutes. This develops the gluten and creates a lighter texture.
  5. After the first hour, gently punch down the dough. Shape the dough into 12-15 equal-sized buns and place them on a greased baking sheet.
  6. Let the buns rise for another hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
