So, back in March 2020, when the whole world was in lockdown due to Covid-19, I saw an influencer I follow on Instagram post her homemade bun recipe. Kiteen told her followers that they were a family favourite and wanted to share the recipe with her followers. Let me refresh your memory, the recipe was shared when everyone was stuck inside and turned to baking as an outlet. People were making banana bread and whipped coffee like there was no tomorrow. In our city, there was actually a shortage of baking ingredients (check out this article if you some how forgot ;)) Anyway, when Kiteen released this recipe, I quickly saved it and was planning on getting the yeast and flour I needed for it on our next outing (we were only able to leave once a week for groceries). Except, due to the baking shortage, I was unable to get my hands on some yeast, flour, and toilet paper (that's a story for another time hehe). But, once the first wave of Covid-19 slowed down, I was more worried about spending my time outside and appreciate not being stuck in the house so the recipe was put on the back burner. It is safe to say, I have had this bun recipe saved on my phone for quite some time now. When EDTC 300 #learningproject began, I knew I needed to add homemade buns to my list (I NEEDED to try this loved recipe). So, thats exactly what I did. This is the recipe I used and all the credit goes to Kiteen: Fast forward to this week when I attempted to make these buns. I figured since I made homemade loaves of bread last week, I could make some homemade buns this week - seems like a good progression to me. This recipe was very clear and easy to follow. Everything went smoothly until it was time to shape the buns. I didn't take pictures of my process because my hands were COVERED in dough. The dough was SO SO SO SO sticky. I knew something was up when I couldn't even shape a bun. I had to clean off my hands and search what to do next. I found this video helpful: I eventually was able to form my buns into bun-looking shapes. I sprinkled them with some "everything but the bagel" seasoning and plopped them into the oven. And they came out BUN-derful (Check out those pics below)!!!! I am still not exactly sure where I went wrong with the sticky dough. But other than that stickiness, I would highly suggest everyone trying this recipe. They are delicious and the recipe makes a few dozen (my freezer is filled with buns now- not mad about it). I would give this recipe 10/10. See you next week for something sweet, -H. Categories
