Jalapeno Burger Buns

Ingredients

• 3 loaves frozen bread (3 lb) or 3 lb fresh bread dough
• 2 tablespoons dry onion flakes
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed
• 5 fresh jalapeno peppers, finely chopped or

  1 (3 1/2 ounce) jar jalapenos, chopped

• 1 (2 ounce) jar pimientos, chopped
• 20 black olives, pitted and minced
• 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

1. 1

   Allow the frozen dough to rise overnight in the fridge (if using fresh let it rise to double it's size).

2. 2

   Knead in your mixer for 5 minutes (by hand 10 minutes).

3. 3

   Add all the ingredients to the dough and knead for a further 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Cut into 14 equal pieces (more if you want smaller buns).

5. 5

   The dough is a bit moist from all the ingredients in it so you may want to use a little flour on your hands to form the buns- do not use too much flour or the buns will not rise as easily Place buns on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with veggie oil.

6. 6

   For best results bake the buns on a baking stone, covered with a piece of parchment and lightly sprayed with veggie oil Cover and place in a warm spot until the buns have doubled in size (I place them in the oven with the oven light on this gives a lovely warm, even heated, no breeze place where they can rise undisturbed).

7. 7

   This step may take 1-2 hours dependinbg on your dough.

8. 8

   Bake in 350F oven for apprx 20-25 minutes.

9. 9

   Place on a rack to cool.

10. 10

    They freeze well.
