How to Make Easy Quick Buns

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast.
  2. In a separate bowl, heat 1 cup warm milk (105-115°F), 1/4 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until lukewarm in the microwave. (Test temperature with a finger – it should feel comfortably warm, not hot.)
  3. Add the warm liquid mixture to the flour and yeast mixture all at once. Beat with a mixer (handheld or stand) until smooth.
  4. Gradually add enough additional flour (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup) to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Do not over-flour.
  5. Knead the dough well for 2-3 minutes until smooth and slightly elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 15 minutes.
  6. Gently shape the dough into 12-15 small balls. Place them on a greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each bun.
  7. Let the buns rise again until doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
