Cara's Beef Buns, from Cara

Bun Recipe:
2T yeast
1c plus 2T warm water
1/3c oil
1/4c sugar
1 egg
1t salt
3 - 3 1/2c flour

Dissolve yeast in water. Add oil and sugar and let rest for 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients to form a soft dough. Knead dough for 3-5 minutes. Divide into 8 pieces and form into balls. Let rest on ungreased pan for 10 minutes. Bake 8-12 minutes.

For the flour I used 1/2 cup of toasted wheat germ, 1 cup of wheat flour, and 1 1/2 - 2 cups of white flour.

It was the lightest, softest dough when I was kneading it. OMG, so nice. They were so tasty, too.
