Homemade Mini Slider Buns

Step 1

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Combine all the ingredients using a bread machine, stand mixer, or knead by hand until the dough is smooth and elastic. If you are using a bread machine's dough cycle, skip to step 3.

Step 2

Grease a large bowl with butter or olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled, about 45-60 minutes.

Step 3

When the dough is doubled in size, press it down, turn it onto a lightly floured surface, and let rest for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 15 pieces. Shape the pieces into smooth, round balls and place on a lightly oiled sheet pan. Cover and let the dough rise again until doubled, about 45-60 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400˚F when your dough is almost finished rising.

Step 6

Bake the mini slider buns in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the tops are golden brown. Remove the buns from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Serve warm or store in a plastic bag once the rolls have cooled completely.
