How to Make Bea's Favorite Homemade Bread Or Buns
- **Combine Ingredients:** In a large bowl (or stand mixer bowl), combine all ingredients in the order listed below.
- **Mix:** If mixing by hand, use a wooden spoon to mix thoroughly. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook on speed 2 for 10 minutes.
- **Knead:** Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour as needed if the dough is too sticky.
- **First Rise:** Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place (around 75-80°F) until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- **Shape the Dough:** Gently punch down the dough on a lightly floured surface.
- **Form Loaves or Buns:** For loaves, divide the dough in half and place each half into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. For buns, divide the dough into 16 equal portions and place them on two greased baking sheets, leaving enough space between each bun for rising.
- **Second Rise:** Let the shaped dough rise again in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
- **Preheat Oven:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- **Bake:** For loaves, bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. For buns, bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- **Cool:** Let the bread or buns cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
