So funny, we baking Milk Bread today as well. And you got german subtitles. How? My wife is not so good in english and appriciate the german subs.

I tried to use that Messenger account to refer you to two newly organized, collated and published early twentieth century English "cookbooks" (More personal/community recipe collections.) Authored by a British media industry veteran by the name of Les Dale. Obviously I failed, but I'm glad to be able to make up for it now. Best, Timothy A.

"Don't worry. It'll be all right.". "But where's the fun in that?" "It's an art form." Words to live by! And I will be right over to eat some of those beautiful buns.

[@ptjzmemory]

I want that on a tee shirt!

[@chucklitka2503]

My grandmother also made buns very similar to yours several times a week as well. "Parkerhouse Rolls is what it says on the recipe card that I have. She used cake yeast, and melted shortening. They were raised on the shelf above her wood fired cook stove and baked in it. She glazed her buns with a mixture of milk and sugar. My mother makes similar buns. That recipe does not use eggs but produces similar results. I've cut that recipe in half so that I can use the stand mixer to kneed, and settle for only a dozen buns. Those buns and her homemade bread are part of the many fond memories of those couple weeks we would spend on the grandparents dairy farm.

[@user54389]

I love that you both genuinely did a happy dance after the first bite. I can only imagine the good memories you both have tied to this bread. Thanks for sharing!

[@sshirleyks]

I only hope that I can be a grandmother remembered so fondly. ❤️

[@robviousobviously5757]

I have my grandmother's potato water sweet bread recipe by making her stop and put her "handful" on a piece of paper and and measure it.. still have my original scribbles and my niece made them about 2 weeks ago... it worked... so 4 generations of success.. glad it wasn't lost to the sands of time.

[@thebitterfig9903]

I love when bread recipes give internal temperatures. So handy.

[@colleenuchiyama4916]

I think you channeled a whole bunch of grannies with this recipe. I, too, learned this recipe(almost the exact same one!) from my granny, no measures, all by feel. My granny’s were always way dark because she was pretty much blind. She also took this dough and made sweet rolls with it. Boy were we some lucky kids, huh?

[@lenalyles2712]

That's the same recipe my grandmother taught me. She never measured, she used her hand as her measurement tool. My mother did too. My son had watched me and helped me make bread and rolls and when he got to college he called wanting the measurements. Long phone call he made his first rolls.

[@maryjanegibson7743]

I love your "everything is going to be fine" philosophy. And you're right. We just have to learn to trust our instincts. Our mistakes can usually be salvaged, and even if they can't we can just apply the lessons we've learned to future efforts.

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Looks delicious., Glenn. On a somewhat tangential note, one of my best recipes was handed down by my grandfather who was part of a traveling band of clowns which toured the country in the 1930s and 40s. Not only did he fully participate as a performer (juggling and spraying seltzer mostly) but he was also in charge of the Clown Chuckwagon, and over the years, came up with a nice selection of mostly campfire stews (or "or stewge" as Gramps used to call them),, soups and casseroles. One of my favorites, casseroles, which I still prepare frequently, consists of baked beans and wieners (for the KETO portion of the meal), macaroni and cheese. and a couple handfuls of those big orange circus peanuts - a sweet yet savory bake-up that's a hit with everyone who tries it. Gramps had one clown name for performing with his fellow troupers at carnivals, civic events, etc., throughout the central Midwest ""Antsy Pants" - but around the campfire at breakfast or suppertime, when most of these talented vagabond buffoons had removed their make-up and hung their giant shoes in their campers, (but oddly enough not all of them) Gramps was affectionately known among the boys as "Yummo." He told me how it wasn't unusual for farmers to donate a hen or two and maybe a couple of dozen eggs, in return for a brief barnyard slapstick performance by a couple of the boys for the farmer, his family and his hired hands.. He also told me as soon as he got back to camp with the chickens, the alcoholic Geek who traveled with them would inevitably beg permission to bite the heads of the pullets when Gramps was ready to get those birds cooking. Seemed that this particular Geek actually not only savored the taste of the live chickens he was required to eat (which were usually provided by the promoter of the event at which the troupe was performing) - but craved more when "off=the-clock" Talk about a Carnivore diet!! Wow!!! Reportedly, he was known to comment that "live chicken pairs well with a pint of Carstairs White Seal Blended." By the way, Grandma also traveled with Gramps. She was the seamstress - making a good number of the clown suits from her own design and repairing all them when required. So of course Gram and Gran rolled along from town- to -town with a big foot pump operated sewing machine in their trailer, - in addition to all the pots, pants, cutlery, stirrers, etc. My Dad was born in a campground in Posey County, Indiana, delivered by a local midwife and plopped into a casserole baking dish as soon as Gramps cut the umbilical cord with his second best onion chopping knife. As for me, I married young and did well for myself in doing so. My wife is the daughter of an oiutdoor parking lot magnate in a major city in Ohio. I was dowried with three downtown lots. I've had a comfortable life pretty much doing whatever I want all day while other people collect money on my behalf while sitting down in booths, watching TV, reading (or even snoozing between customers arriving and honking the horns to wake 'em up). Consequently, for awhile, I was able to open a couple of storefront business which specialized in selling "clown suits for the whole family," including custom made if somebody wanted them - and even clown suits for the family pets. The seamstresses I hired used Gram's patterns, of course. . The stores were called "Hem and Ha!" - and with every sale, I usually threw in a copy of one of Gramps' recipes for a clown casseroles, "silly stew," "buffoon bread, "Punchinello Porridge,," or what have you. Of course, they all pair well with seltzer water.

@RichardWright thank you for sharing that story with us, what a great yarn! Cheers from Australia!

[@thesye1014]

This was a beautiful story, thank you soooo much for sharing it!!

[@little_forest]

That recipe is extremely similar to Bavarian "Rohrnudeln", which are one of the traditional sweet dishes in Bavaria. Usually you would eat it with certain jams and vanilla sauce as the main dish. You also find them sometimes filled with plum jam. Those buns really also look exactly like "Rohrnudeln", obviously, being the almost same recipe and the same method to put them in a tray and bake them. Awesome! And actually, my mother manages to get the smooth top of a bun without pinching/stretching or rolling on the countertop, but only rolling them between her hands in a certain way that I can barely replicate.

[@zammap08]

Jap, my First Idea was...Granny was bavarian, wasn't she?😁

[@Stoffmonster467]

I'm thinking about what to cook for dinner today, maybe Dampfnudeln

[@Yargestein68]

I thought about "Stütchen" here in the Rhine Area. But the dough of both is quite similar.

[@jombie25]

Hi guys, I want to thank you for your espectacular recipe, and let you know I just baked them and they are absolutely divine. If you just happen to read my comment, know that you made my family and I very happy! Wishing you two the very best 🥰

I have an old house that's a bit drafty in places, with cold spots here and there. One of the best things I ever did was replacing my stove with one that has a Bread Proof function so I don't have to worry about where to put my bread to rise.

[@christinamo7]

I grew up in an old farm house, in the winter we used to set our bread to rise under the cover in the water bed :-)

[@IsaacIsaacIsaacson]

@@christinamo7 I knew some people who put it on top of the hot water cylinder in older houses

Same recipe my mom made for every gathering (holiday, funeral luncheon, graduation party, birthday, anniversary, etc). Best buns on the planet!

[@cookiemadison8529]

They look great. Amazing to think of our grandmothers doing that kind of thing everyday, by hand and with love.

[@jameslogan1305]

Now our go-to dinner roll recipe. Thanks for sharing your family recipe Glen.

[@jenniferjensen8538]

Thanks, Glen, for sharing your Grandma's dinner roll recipe! I just love these kinds of recipes that are passed down and I love making homemade bread!

[@RalleDue]

They look exactly like the buns, we in Denmark eat, on the evening before and/or on the morning of the holiday called Great prayer day. Actually, it's just 3 weeks from today (April the 22nd) The only difference is the addition of half to a whole teaspoon of ground cardamom in the dough. I definitely going to make these buns with a little cardamom in the near future :)

[@rredd7777]

Love this idea!

[@ReibahDarling]

I may try them with cardamom!

[@connieosness550]

My grandmother added cardamom to her dinner rolls. She couldn't tell me where she got the recipe from or why the cardamom was added, but in our family, the cardamom is what make the dinner rolls "Grandma Buns" and something special.

[@raebragus]

Watching from Texas, Glen & Julie. Can’t wait to try these!

[@broadwayfarms4396]

Imagine a bread pudding the next day with these

[@gerrybraynard4191]

I made these for my 86 year old neighbors and she said they taste just like her moms. I now make them almost weekly for them

[@aimeemorgado8715]

I just adore Julie’s enthusiasm for Granny’s Buns!

[@larsen8059]

That looks ridiculously good!!!

[@wendymuir7818]

Made these last night. The house was full of yeasty fragrance, and they are delicious.

Made these TODAY....... best tasting bread I ever made.....

[@waynegjohnston]

This video made me so happy. My grandmothers made these buns, my mum made them, I make them, and my kids make them. Just watching the video I can taste them.

[@joelmerrill]

Wow! A new mixer. ;)

[@colorsmith659]

I had a friend in school which was an artist in the field of bakery. Effortless and gracefully slapping together the most fluffy and divine smelling buns and rolls. Yours look very, very similar to hers, yum. Added to my library of recipes, thanks alot. From Berlin, Germany by the way.

Your wife has a good sense of humor she looks like a fun lady nice personality.I would like a couple of rolls with butter and 🍯 honey.They looks so good.

[@jvin248]

My mother was the one in the family who made these for every get together. I should have paid more attention when I was a kid, or even while raising my own kids. Always too busy. I should try your recipe and see how close it gets. Thanks.

[@rredd7777]

These are just like the rolls my Mom always made. I just finished off a batch of them I made for Easter. They also make great toast, cut into three layers.

I have so much trouble making bread or rolls from an enriched dough. I can make pizza dough all day long. I am making these today, and after kneading, the dough feels so much better than all of my other attempts.

[@virginiaf.5764]

I rarely use recipes for bread-making. That potato bun recipe from one of your Sunday old cookbook videos is one I did follow the first time I made them. After that, I played around with it, using instant mashed potatoes. It's a good recipe. Can't wait to make these buns. They look perfect.

[@ReibahDarling]

ID that the name of it? If so, I’ll search it and try. I love baking bread.

Your Buns look Great!. I'm glad you address the 'issues' people have thinking that cooking is a chemistry experiment.

[@leanneekman5497]

My Mom used to make rolls similar to this. Thanks for the Memory. Watching from Wisconsin, USA.

[@MizMissiB]

Amazing how different each batch of dough can be. So much depends on how dry your flour is, the humidity, the brand of flour, etc. By doing it repeatedly, you get the “feel” of what it’s supposed to be. Watching someone helps, but doing is best. It may take a while to get consistency with your bread doughs but eventually, you’ll be able to do it in your sleep

[@patshipp9195]

Those rolls look so amazing, I have to try to recreate your recipe.

[@michaeldrapes8446]

Glen, I really like your channel. My mom, grandmother and my aunts made these rolls. After my mom passed we found a recipe in the recipe book from her Sunbeam stand mixer. It is just about your grandmother’s recipe. MJD.

[@LadyInBlue3]

We make my grandmothers buns too. Ours have a bit more butter and sugar I think but they also have a bit of freshly grated nutmeg in them - so good. They also make fantastic cinnamon rolls🥰

[@Vimesfan]

Glen, you talk about weighing vs. volume measurements and bring up some very good points - protein content of flour, etc. One other factor is the amount of moisture in the "dry" flour. If the ambient humidity is very high, you often have to add more flour than if you are baking in an area with low humidity for the exact same amount of liquid. Love your channel.

[@salinamartin8711]

Love this! I love making bread and baked goods! I worked in a bakery for several years and you are right, it is an art! But anyone can learn (I did lol)! Your video was great! I'm trying your recipe! Beautiful!

Definitely will have to try making these. I bet the that dough would make some awesome jumbo cinnamon rolls too.

[@viridian4573]

My mother and her two sisters made exactly the same bread recipe handed down by my grandmother. They used exactly the same brands of flour, yeast and sugar but made wildly different bread. Mom's was awful, my eldest aunt's was nice but my youngest aunt's bread makes your eyes roll back in your head it's so good. Unfortunately I never got to taste my grandmother's but they say hers was even better.

My grandmother was the same luckily I have some written recipes for cookies she has from long ago but as a youth she never used them, just knew about how much and how it felt. Best teacher for me and I’ve incorporated that style into my own cooking. I don’t need the recipes anymore either.

[@elund408]

Due to a soy allergy the only bread we could buy was $7 us a loaf, We bought a bread machine, living at 5200 feet in the desert we had to make the recipe our own. We had to add 1/4 cup water (starting at 1 cup) we had to cut the yeast by half a teaspoon, we added 1/2 teaspoon salt. all to make up for the dry environment and the high altitude. Yes baking is a science but even in science you have to take in variables for things to work. The art comes into making it your own.

[@dennybyrne5773]

Hi Glen and Julie! I followed the recipe listed in the notes and the part about letting them sit another 45min once shaped into the balls in the pan seems to be missing. I popped them right in the oven and they look good and taste delish but a little dense. I think they would have been a little fluffier had I waited like you said in the video. Thanks for all you do! We love watching your show!

So, I'm just catching up on your old episodes and I have to say how happy I am to find someone else who bakes logically. There is no reason to dirty multiple bowls to rise dough, yet every recipe says to grease another bowl. I roll my eyes every time I see that.

Looks very similar to Pampushky. They are buns to accompany Borscht. We eat them with crushed garlic and unrefined sunflower oil on top. Cheers from Ukraine!

[@MrDdaland]

Yes, Jules comment about how quick they go at family gatherings reminds me of my family - Grandma had to make in the neighborhood of 7-8 dozen just so there'd be enough to make it to the main meal! The first 3-4 dozen would almost make it out of the oven before being pounced on.....
