Stupid easy sweet buns

Stupid Easy sweet Buns:

3 cups flour
3 tsp gluten
(or use 3 cups bread flour, but making your own is SO MUCH CHEAPER)
1/4 cup Olive/Canola oil
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (or one envelope)
3 tbsp sugar
1 cup warm water

Mix yeast, sugar and warm water together and let proof in warm place for 5 minutes. While yeast gts foamy, mix together remaining ingredients.
add yeast mixture and mix together until wet dough forms.

Using a scraper/flexible spatula turn dough out on lightly floured surface. Knead dough until dough is uniform in texture (should be slightly sticky, use too much flour your buns will be dry)

Place dough ball back into greased bowl and let rise while oven is warming to 375.

After 20 minutes form buns by dividing dough in halves, then quarters, then into 6 uniform balls.

Place on single baking sheet. Let rise another 20 minutes if possible.

Place buns in oven, bake 15 minutes until tapping on the bun makes a hollow sound.

Take buns from oven and lightly spray or brush with olive oil, let cool.

Makes 6 buns.
