corn meal buns

Our new favorite starch!  I do the dough in the bread machine... the dough cycle is so easy, throw ingredients in and leave alone... can leave in for hours and get back to it!
ingredients: 
1 1/4 c water
1 equivalent egg replacer (or egg)
3 tbs sugar
6 tbs veg based butter, cut up
4 c bread flour
1/3 c nonfat dry milk, can exclude
4 tbs yellow corn meal
1 tbs +1 tsp wheat gluten
1 tsp salt, kosher
2 1/2 tsp machine yeast
put all ingredients in machine and set on dough cycle.  (Or mix with dough hook in mixer and cover and let rise at least 2 hours).  After either time above, turn dough out onto corn meal sprinkled cloth and cut into 12 pieces and place on parchment covered pan.   Let rise again 20-30 minutes.  Brush with melted butter or egg wash.  Place in oven and bake at 350 convection for 20 minutes.


Wonderful for homemade burgers or pulled pork sandwiches.  Great toasted for breakfast the next day, similar to english muffin, not as chewy!  Also great as corn dogs...when cutting dough, place hot dog inside and continue with rise process.
This is similar to a recipe in The Bread Lover's Bread Machine Cookbook  we adapted it to be egg/dairy free and added the cornmeal twist.
