One thing, though. I was just looking at a recipe someone else gave you a link to and that recipe states allowing the dough to rise first before “punching” it down and making the individual buns, allowing them to rise again. Is that what you do?

That's exactly what I do.
I take the dough out of the bread machine and half it three times (Makes eight buns), then roll the portions into the shape for the buns and start the 2nd rise in the oven (To keep them covered) with a little plastic container of boiled water (To keep the humidity up) for about an hour. Then, fifteen minutes before that hour is up, I pull everything out of the oven and turn it on for the preheat. I also bake them for eighteen minutes. The nine minute thing is old information. Eighteen minutes works out much better.

Well! Too bad it’s late, I’m ready to try it again. LOL!

Saturday, I’ll try this again with all your tips and let you know how it goes.

Thanks again, buddy. Have a good night!
