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.)

"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.

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

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.

[@thesye1014]

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

Imagine a bread pudding the next day with these

[@sshirleyks]

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

[@Slide100]

Glen, your wife is awesome! She knows exactly when to show up - TASTING TIME! 🙂

[@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.

[@FrankBlissett]

Love the title - simultaneously true and also poking fun of all those no-name KZbin food videos.

[@thebitterfig9903]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@aimeemorgado8715]

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

[@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 🥰

[@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.

[@LindaM2005]

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

[@scottstewart3884]

You KNOW its an AWESOME recipe when Julie Grabs seconds with a look of absolute Joy on her face! LOL

[@crystalwright1504]

Those look great!! I asked my mom for her bread recipe. There isn't one. She measured the yeast in the lid from the yeast can, used a tablespoon for the sugar, the teacup that stays in the flour is her measuring cup, etc....

[@jameslogan1305]

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

[@joeyhardin1288]

Thank you! Of all the kids and grandkids, I am the only one that makes my grandmother's rolls. They were a refrigerator roll. God Bless and stay safe.

[@papa.and.mimis.country.life.58]

My great-grandmother Hanna (1891-1980) taught me how to cook without measuring. It developed a sense of how things should look, taste, and smell. But, by golly, I don’t mind at all having a recipe with measurements! Watching from near Modesto, California.

[@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.

[@candicel3224]

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.

[@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.

[@virginiaf.5764]

That dough is a thing of beauty. I love when the dough can be handled without having to use more flour.

[@TheJjrjr125]

Excellent! I always loved Grandma's dinner rolls. Now I got to make some. 👍

[@joannaparker8952]

Thank you for this. It was so useful and educational to see what the dough should look like at each stage and how to add flour properly. I’ve definitely had a baking breakthrough aged 51! Best wishes from the Uk

I brush my rolls with butter and sprinkle "everything bagel" seasoning over top prior to baking. Delicious.

[@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.

I've been making different breads for fun for the last oh 2-3 years now. The one thing I've personally noticed, even if you do mess something up, you still usually have something that's pretty tasty.

[@bobfreeman8952]

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

[@joelmerrill]

Wow! A new mixer. ;)

[@loam6740]

I don't think art and science are mutually exclusive but I totally agree with what you are saying. I think understanding how the dough should feel at every step is part of being a good baker but weighing your ingredients also adds a level of consistency.

[@christinamo7]

I have been baking bread now for I think 44 years? since I was a wee thing. You are right. you learn how it should feel and it is such a joy!

[@lindhartsen]

The comment about weights is fair enough. Starting out, it kinda feels like a good way to get comfortable, like if you’re prone to quitting if things don’t work. As you start to understand what it should feel and act like, it makes sense to not be as driven by exacts. That, and then there’s the days the recipe simply doesn’t want to work because things are too dry, cool, etc. I should give this one a go, the color on those rolls looks so good.

[@TheBurgerkrieg]

this with a little more sugar and freshly grated nutmeg is a childhood classic for me

[@lynnleavitt478]

This brought memories of my grandmother's home baked bread and rolls (and pies and so much more. Bread hot from the oven spread with butter and spun honey. Nothing better. She passed away in 1979.

[@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.

[@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.

[@sshirleyks]

Just in case you wondered, this recipe works really well in a bread maker on the dough cycle. Yummy.

[@woostermediagroup5766]

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.

[@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

[@larsen8059]

That looks ridiculously good!!!

[@connieosness550]

I spent a week with my Grandmother when she was in her upper 80's and one of the things we did was make "Grandma Buns" together. Like your Grandmother, she didn't have a written recipe. I wanted a recipe, so she would put the ingredients in a bowl and I would measure them. One of the things that made the recipe special was the addition of cardamom. I asked her where she got the recipe from and she said she didn't remember. The wonderful smell of fresh baked buns fragranced with cardamom takes me right back to her kitchen.

[@lydiamashcka4362]

Measurements will always change when the weather changes too. Hot and humid day, cold dry day. My pie crusts always need more ice water in November and less ice water in July.

[@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.

[@pamelajohnson9810]

Thanks, Glen! Very refreshing to finally watch someone cook something without all the space-age gadgets in the kitchen, teaching us once again that your statement that baking "is an art form" is completely true. I always want to ask the "science chefs" how in the world our ancestors managed to survive without digital scales.

[@nenben8759]

I started my bread baking with feel and cup measurements. The past few years I've started weighing things cause it simplifies alot of the process and really makes a consistent recipe, you know, if you're at the same altitude and using the same brand and type of flour. It also gives me a framework for very precisely experimenting with recipes. It's fun to do it all by eye and see where it goes, but it's convenient to weigh, so that makes it worth it.
