This delightful recipe, generously shared by my younger sister who excels in the kitchen and loves to bake, is a true gem for any bread enthusiast. Our shared passion for cooking is reflected in these versatile buns, which can be used as dinner rolls, hamburger buns, or even for open-face sandwiches. With their beautifully browned exterior and soft, airy interior, these buns are a wonderful addition to any meal. Here’s how you can create these delicious Mazola Buns:

Ingredients:

  • 5 cups water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup Mazola oil or any other cooking oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 10-12 cups all-purpose flour (you might need a bit more or less, depending on the dough’s consistency)

Instructions:

  1. Combine Initial Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the water, sugar, oil, and yeast. Stir until the mixture is well combined and the yeast begins to activate. This will create a nice, frothy base for your dough.

  2. Add Flour and Eggs: Gradually incorporate about 4 cups of flour into the mixture. Follow by adding the beaten eggs and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.

  3. Adjust Flour and Knead: Slowly add the remaining flour, one cup at a time, until the dough achieves a soft, manageable consistency. You might not need to use all the flour; the dough should be slightly sticky but not overly so. If you’re using a Bosch mixer, let it knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. For those kneading by hand, turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead vigorously until smooth and elastic.

  4. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a large, lightly oiled mixing bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm, draft-free area until it has doubled in size. This usually takes about 1 hour, depending on your kitchen’s temperature.

  5. Shape the Buns: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide and shape the dough into buns, placing them on greased baking sheets. Leave some space between each bun to allow for expansion.

  6. Second Rise: Cover the shaped buns with a clean tea towel and a plastic sheet. Let them rise again until they are puffed up and nearly doubled in size, which should take about 30 minutes.

  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the buns for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.

  8. Cool and Store: Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on baking racks. If you plan to freeze them, ensure they are completely cooled before placing them in plastic bags.

  9. Enjoy: These buns are perfect fresh from the oven or as a part of your favorite sandwiches.
