Ah, these slider buns, love me some slider buns. So here’s the thing. I’ve been wanting to make some sliders forever now, but I just can’t seem to find the right buns for them. Eventually I got tired of looking and waiting so I decided to make my own slider buns. Bread is bread, so it’s not that difficult. I’m so glad I did, these little slider buns turned out amazing, cute little buns, buttery, delicious and best of all only 91 calories a slider bun. Can you believe that? I just love that! I guess that means we can have a few, not just one. Who can eat just one?
Ingredients
Flour – all you need is all purpose flour. Salt – Salt is important in any baked good, it ensures that all those flavors we’ve incorporated above really shine. Water – At room temperature, this is the liquid we use today in our buns. Yeast – I’m using instant yeast today so that we can incorporate it right in the dough without priming it in water first. Sugar – To add a little bit of sweetness to our rolls. You could also use honey. Egg – 1 large egg at room temperature. Margarine – you can use margarine or butter. You’ll also need some melted butter to brush over the rolls.
How To Make Slider Buns
Can I Use Active Dry Yeast
You absolutely can. The difference is you need to active the dry yeast first. To do this add a bit of room-temperature or slightly warm water to a bowl and the yeast, let it sit for a minute or two and then stir it with a spoon or fork until the yeast dissolves. You’ll notice the yeast will start to form bubbles, this means the yeast is good, if you see no reaction at all, chances are your yeast is old and need new fresh yeast.
The Best Place For Dough To Rise
If you are having trouble getting that dough to rise and double in size, I’ve got a perfect little trick for you to ensure your dough fluffs up properly. Heat your oven to 200 F degrees then turn off the oven and place your dough when needing to rise in the oven with the door closed. This will ensure a warm environment for your dough and the dough will rise fairly quickly, assuming the yeast was good.
Tips
Storing Leftover Buns
You can store these rolls right on the counter wrapped in foil or plastic wrap for up to 5 days. You can freeze these rolls easily, just place them separately on a baking sheet and freeze before transferring to a freezer bag or airtight container. They will last for up to 6 months and can be thawed right on the counter when ready to eat.
