These worked out perfectly for me - and they are now my official go-to summer bun recipe. I tried several other enriched dough recipes from other sources, and then finally turned to Peter in frustration with the results, and was delighted to get just what I was looking for.
These are soft, tasty, and perfect for small sandwiches and burgers. They're not quite as fluffy as restaurant burger buns maybe, but they hold up well. I used them with pulled pork and they were excellent.
The overnight fermentation gives more flavour than the quick recipes (though his quick recipe from BBA is also quite good). I added 50% whole wheat with no issues; still light and airy. I did the knotted buns, and after a few odd ones, got the hang of it - they impressed the heck out of my dinner guests the first time I did them.
