Tempting to eat straight from the oven, these soft rolls are perfect for any savory filling. The dough can be shaped to accommodate big burgers, sliders, or even hot dogs. Most recently, we enjoyed them with barbecued turkey sandwiches made from Christmas dinner leftovers.
I first made these soft and delicious buns to go with Jack’s Bison Sloppy Joes with Roasted Bell Peppers. They came out perfectly soft and fluffy with no trace of doughiness. I’ve since made variations by adding dried onions into the dough as well as different toppings, such as sesame seeds. This recipe is now the go-to recipe for buns in our home.

- Cut dough into 8 equal pieces.
- Take each piece and roll into ball using cupped hands.
