I got a couple of the King Arthur Flour Cookbooks for Christmas (the "regular" one and the cookie one), and had been looking for an opportunity to try making these buns you rave about. It's been too cold and snowy out, and I need to replace the gas tank on the grill, so it wasn't going to be for burgers.<BR/><BR/>This past weekend I took an 8+ lb pork shoulder, rolled it around in grill seasoning for chicken, and slowly cooked it in the oven all day long with a couple onions sliced thin in the Cuisinart, and all that covered in bottled BBQ sauce, several glops of honey, and some smoked chipotle Tabasco. The pulled pork resulting from this is GREAT!<BR/><BR/>But what's getting even MORE rave reviews!? The damn buns! LOL I mean, they're "just buns", but we're all going ga-ga over them! I also gave one to a friend, along with some of the pork, and she was going on about how wonderfly airy, yet still maintaining substance, the buns were... Brett's even wondered if I'd make a few dozen at a slightly smaller size the next time they have a party with deli meat at work.<BR/><BR/>Brett and I are on our second batch of buns already since first making them last weekend (made a double batch the first time due to worries about the yeast, and froze the second batch). The dough defrosts and rises nicely, and is great with sesame seeds on top (which I did with last nite's four buns). I need to try an egg wash next time... Brett's wondering about adding some whole wheat flour to the mix - I don't think you've mentioned doing this yet?<BR/><BR/>So thanks for posting this - I honestly don't know that I would've tried this recipe just from seeing it in the cookbook...Jephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843262392217281569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-1157249122424210322006-09-02T22:05:00.000-04:002006-09-02T22:05:00.000-04:00Anon - Thanks for the feedback!
