Butter Buns

Butter Buns from Make Ahead Bread by Donna Currie.  The easiest dinner rolls I’ve ever made!

Make Ahead Bread by Donna Currie is a must-have cookbook!  I am so proud of my good friend and Virtual Potluck partner of Cookistry!  Donna was already pretty famous for her bread making skills and it comes as no surprise for her cookbook to totally knock my socks off.

Make Ahead Bread has 100 recipes for Melt-in-Your-Mouth Fresh Bread Every Day Plus Butters & Spreads, there is something for everyone.  The recipes have a 2 step process where you mix and knead the bread and then let it rest for a day or so and then you bake it when you are ready.

The recipes are approachable and totally crave worthy! I’m sharing the recipe for Butter Buns.  I made these for Thanksgiving Dinner and they were seriously the easiest rolls I’ve ever made.  They were downright delicious with our prime rib roast.

I have at least 7 recipes marked to try immediately, including the baguettes, blueberry and cream cheese buns with lemon zest, honey potato buns, and  grandma pizza plus a few more! Gorgeous photos and amazing recipes, you are going to love it!

To celebrate, we are bringing back the whole Virtual Potluck gang!  So be sure to visit them all for more delicious recipes from Make Ahead Bread!

Now how about that recipe for the easiest ever dinner rolls, which make a double amazing breakfast with a little warm honey!
