Cooking for the Workers

 I made hot dog buns yesterday and used this recipe:

• 4-1/2 tsp. rapid rise yeast
• 3 cups water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• ¹⁄₄ cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 8 -8 ¹⁄₂ cups flour
  

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in  water with sugar and then let stand about 5 minutes.
2.  Beat in oil, salt and 4 cups flour until smooth. Stir in flour to form a soft dough.
3. Place in a greased bowl turning once to grease the top.
4. Cover and let rise 45 minutes.
5. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured board, divide into 18 pieces.
6. Shape into an oval.
7. Place 2 inches apart on a parchment covered baking sheets.
8. With scissors cut a 1/4-inch slash across the top of each.
9. Cover and let rise 20 minutes.
10. Bake at 400° for 18 minutes until golden brown.
11. Remove to wire racks to cool.

 Some days I take the time to form these properly.

 Some daysI don't and just go for the rustic look.

The workers devoured them! One guy ate 3 of them.
