Directions

For this recipe you will need either English muffin rings or you can make your own foil molds (directions below). You can also use tuna fish cans or store-bought specialty pans for buns.

Mix dough according to directions for baking bread. Spray the inside of each mold with non-stick spray and place them on a baking sheet. Put 2 heaping spoonfuls of dough in each mold and spread with a spatula to flatten and fill the bottom of each mold. Be careful that you don't put too much dough in each cup or your bun will be too thick. Remember that it will rise when baking. I made 6 large buns from the regular Pamela's bread dough. Let rise according to directions.

Before baking, you can brush the tops of the buns with an egg wash (egg mixed with water) and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. The egg wash helps the tops to brown and also to hold the sesame seeds on.

Bake at 350° until medium brown, about 25-30 minutes. When finished baking, take the buns out of their molds and cool on a cooling rack.

Make aluminum foil molds by cutting the foil into a circle and pinching the edges all around to create a large cup shape, or into long oblong shapes for hot dog buns. Make it as big around as you would like your bun to be. You can smooth the bottom of the cup with your finger if you want the bottoms to be more smooth.
