Ingredients
Cover with a moist towel and let sit in a warm place (85 deg F) till doubled.. About 40 mins.
(An oven with a big bowl of hot water placed on the bottom of the oven is perfect).
Turn the dough out gently, (no sense in losing all that fine rising you just did! ) onto the counter. No flour on the counter this time, cut the dough gently into twelve even pieces… (I use a weight scale) it is usually about 1200 grams total weight for the recipe so each bun is about 100 grams.
Roll the dough gently in your hands in such a way as to stretch the “skin” of the dough and tuck it under making a ball of which the surface is smooth all the way round. Think of it as stretching the surface and tucking in the wrinkles underneath the ball. Set the dough balls on a cookie sheet or sheet pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray or olive oil, and then dusted with cornmeal. Once again spray the dough balls with cooking spray and cover with that still moist towel and let rise again for about an hour. Heat the oven to 450 degrees F and then remover the towel and bake for 15 mines. Just for evenness I take the bread out and rotate the pan half way through the cooking time, but if you don’t care about appearances then don’t bother. Take the bread buns out of the oven and let cool as long as you can stand to wait before you simply have to butter one or more of them and eat while you dream that you have gone to bread heaven.

Mainville Family Bread Recipe 2 cups of water 1 Tbs. butter (or extra virgin olive oil) heat in microwave for 1 min. let sit while you mix the first part of the recipe In a large bowl (I use my stand mixer bowl) put: 1 ˝ cups (197 grams) white whole wheat flour1 tbs. instant yeast2 tbs. vital wheat gluten1 Tbs. malted barley flour1 ˝ tsp. salt1 tbs. Honey or sugar either one works well but I prefer the honeyAdd the warmed water and butter and whisk together till it makes a smooth warm batterAdd 3 1/2 cups (550 grams) bread flour Mix in stand mixer for ten minutes or mix with a spoon then knead for ten minutes by hand adding flour to prevent sticking till dough is smooth and elastic.If using a stand mixer turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a bout two minutes flouring jut enough to make it not stick to your hands or the counter top.Place in an oiled bowl (you can simply spray a bowl with cooking spray and plop in the dough and then spray the dough as well) I have recently started to use extra virgin olive oil because I love the flavor it imparts to the finished bread.
