Title: Barbecue Buns

Recipe By     : Fleischmann's Bake-It-Easy Yeast Book 1976 pg. 9 & 10

   5 3/4  cups          unsifted flour  (5 3/4 to 6 3/4 cups)
     1/3  cup           instant nonfat dry milk solids
     1/4  cup           sugar
   1      tablespoon    salt
   2      packages      Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast
     1/3  cup           Fleischmann's Margarine -- softened
   2      cups          very warm tap water (120-130 degrees F.)
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix 2 cups flour, dry milk solids, sugar, salt
and undissolved Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast.  Add Fleischmann's
Margarine.  Gradually add tap water to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at
medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.  Add 3/4 cup
flour.  Beat at high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.  Stir in
enough additional flour to make a stiff dough.  Turn out onto lightly
floured board;  knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease top.  Cover;  let rise in warm
place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.  Punch
dough down;  let rise again until less than doubled about 20 minutes.
Divide dough in half;  cut each half into 10 equal pieces.  Form each piece
into a smooth round ball.  Place on greased baking sheets about 2 inches
apart;  press to flatten.  Cover;  let rise in warm place, free from draft,
until doubled in bulk about 1 hour.
Bake at 375 degrees F. for 15 - 20 minutes, or until done.  Remove from
baking sheets and cool on wire racks.
