Overnight Buns
Mix together and set aside for 10 minutes:
1 heaping tbsp. dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
1 tsp. sugar
Mix together:
1 cup white sugar
1 cup oil
2 tsp. salt (heaping)
3 beaten eggs
3 cups lukewarm water
Add risen yeast mixture
Add:
12 cups flour - 6 cups at first; the rest 1 cup at a time
Mix well to a stiff dough; knead well. Let stand 3 hours.
Knead down and let stand another 3 hours.
Form into buns and place on greased baking sheets (only about 6 to a small cookie sheet--8 or 9 to a large one, unless you want them to run together & pull them apart when cooked) to rise over night. (I used 3 oz. of dough for large buns and 2 oz. for smaller ones. They'll be big enough for hamburgers. You could even make them smaller and have decent sized dinner rolls!) Don't cover with wax paper or anything (it sticks to them & is hard to remove later). Recipe makes over 3 dozen large rolls.
In the morning, bake at 375 F. (10 minutes or until done.)
If buns are started about 4 p.m., the time works out well, for baking in the morning.
(Be prepared to stay up until about 11:00 for shaping into buns.)
