Might want to check this link from the Mother Earth News magazine. The article is about hamburger buns but lots of good information on using gains for making buns and/or bread.

I never knew there was so much science in a "good" loaf of bread

I know what you mean!!! My first two attempts were edible, but dense and not what I wanted. Next batch I will add vital wheat gluten and use two packets of yeast. Wish me luck!

Our youngest made flourless peanut butter cookies today, he added choc. chips to some. The kids have been out of school in last Thursday... they are starting to get alittle bored.

TipsyDog - Those look so wonderful and yummy...

Easy as Pie...ooops...my pie crusts leave much to be desired gump bread buns are very easy and oh so delicious

They were goooooood!! I just let them bake a little too long and the crusts were a little harder than we like but..... we'll be doing this from now on if at all possible!!

Our latest quantum leap in improvement came with the discovery of vital wheat gluten AND letting the bread machine do the kneading.
FINALLY made a decent loaf!

I make this one all the time, AND sell loaves of it each week at farmers markets. Recipe calls for a bread machine, but I double it, just use dough cycle on the machine (stand mixer or knead by hand would also work). Then I shape prepared dough in standard 8 x 4 loaf pans, let rise another 45 min - 1 hr, bake at 350* for 25 minutes. Perfect!

It uses vital wheat gluten as ya'll mentioned. That really does make a difference when using all whole grain flours. Here's a link to my recipe:
