    I've made these three times so far, and these have turned out fantastic each and every time. Soft and delicious. The white whole wheat flour packs a lot of fiber without the "whole wheat" taste - great for picky eaters like my husband. I'll never buy buns at the store again. - 3/17/09

    I tried one batch with all whole wheat flour and one with half whole wheat and half white flour. Both turned out very good. - 9/27/10

    Great and easy! I substituted applesauce for the shortning, had to cook them 20 minutes longer. Very soft and everyone loved them. - 11/1/08

    AMAZING! I thought my dough was too runny and not fluffy enough, but they turned out fine--I subbed applesauce for shortening and 1/8c molasses and 1/8c honey for the sugar. I also made in a stand mixer, did everything just like the bread machine just kneaded it for about 5 min on high and let stand - 4/1/13

    I make these using molasses and honey instead of the sugar -- they are the best buns I have ever tasted! Thanks so much for the recipe! - 8/5/12

    I needed a super low-sodium, low-cholesterol option so I omitted salt and used 1/4 cup egg whites in place of the whole egg. This was AMAZING! I formed them into clover leaf rolls and they looked ALMOST as good as they tasted! Thanks for a great recipe!!! - 1/31/11
