sore belly buns
I have made many of breads in my day and many have been flops. I decided to take on a bread workshop of 1 day. We baked 24 different loaves of bread that day in the class and I have been making bread since. A dear older friend decided to eat these right out of the oven. He is the one that gave it its name 'SORE BELLY BUNS' - a caution to all - yeast keeps on rising until completely cool.

How To Make sore belly buns
-
Step 1Mix yeast with warm water and 2 tsp sugar in a 4 cup measure. Let stand in warm place about 10 minutes until it has proofed.
-
Step 2Put your light on in the oven. This will provide you with a draft free area to rise your dough.
-
Step 3In the meantime, melt butter or margarine, stir into it the ¼ cup sugar and the 2 eggs.
-
Step 4Add 3 cups of flour in a large mixing bow and stir in the salt.
-
Step 5Add the yeast mixture and the butter mixture to the flour.
-
Step 6Beat with electric mixer for about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl frequently.
-
Step 7By hand, stir in the remaining 3 cups of four to make a soft dough.

Step 8Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and electric, about 10 minutes. If you have some stress, this will help you a lot.

Step 9Shape into a ball. Put a little oil in a large bowl (that has a lid) . Take the dough and rub the dough in the oil and place it upside down in the bowl. Close lid. Place it in the oven for proofing. It may take awhile – do not rush this step. Yeast lives in its own time space.

Step 12This is the fun part – pound the dough down. Cut the dough down in 3 batches so you can manage it, cover the batches that you are not using to stop the dough from drying up. This gives you time to make your buns.

Step 14With a sharp knife, cut the flatted dough in roll piece. Roll the dough in your hand to make them round.

-
Step 16Make sure your dough balls touch each other and fill your pan.
-
Step 17Once you have roll out all the dough into balls into your pan, brush them with egg wash to give them some great finished colour.
