    homemade rolls in a basket

    If you've been around here very long, you know I like to use soaked, sprouted or sourdough whole grains in my baking, but sometimes, yes sometimes, you just need a good ol' white bread bun or roll.  You don't want to buy something at the store because they have about a million different ingredients, most of which I have no idea what they even are.  That's when these fast homemade buns come in handy.  These are not difficult in the least bit, so there's really nothing holding you back from having yummy homemade buns or rolls on the dinner table in an hour and a half, start to finish.  Most of that time is rise time, so when I say easy, I really mean easy.

    Anyone can make these homemade buns, so don't be intimidated.  You can do it, friend!  These will be great this fall and winter with some pulled pork or beef, leftover roast, burgers, or sloppy Joes.

    They are also excellent for holidays. There's nothing like a warm homemade roll with butter to accompany the holiday meal.
