BREAD MACHINE METHOD

Put ingredients ( except butter) into bread pan. Set machine on dough cycle and start. Remove dough  after 20 minutes into the dough cycle and divide into 8 – 10  pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth round ball and flatten the balls with the palm of your hand till they are 4-inches in diameter. Keep tops smooth. Place the rolls on a lightly greased sheet. Cover lightly and set aside to raise till they are very puffy - about 40 minutes. Spread some melted butter on top for a more tan colored top. Bake at preheated 350F oven for 15-20 minutes. Watch carefully because each oven and baking pan is different. Remove and cover the rolls in a kitchen towel (cloth) and place them in a gallon-size zip lock bag to cool.  Cooling inside the plastic bag makes the buns really soft.

MANUAL METHOD:

In a large bowl, combine baking mix, oil, non-dairy creamer and Potato powder.  Now add the frothy yeast mixture. Beat with a wooden spoon or dough hook until mixture forms a sticky and not dry or stiff dough. If the dough is not sticky add more warm water. Cover the bowl with saran wrap tightly and let the dough rise for 20 minutes in a warm place. Divide into 8-10 pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth round ball and flatten the balls with the palm of your hand till they are 4-inches in diameter. Keep tops smooth. Place the rolls on a lightly greased sheet. Cover lightly and set aside to rise till they are very puffy - about 40 minutes. Spread some melted butter on top for a more tan colored top. Bake at preheated 350F oven for 15-20 minutes. Watch carefully because each oven and baking pan is different. Remove and cover the rolls in a kitchen towel (cloth) and place them in a gallon-size zip lock bag to cool.  Cooling inside the plastic bag makes the buns really soft.
