SERVES 
INGREDIENTS
Dough:
¼ ounce dry yeast
⅓ cup warm water
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
1½ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons shortening
2 tablespoons sugar
⅓ cup warm milk
Filling:
½ Pound sliced bacon, chopped
1 Pound ground beef
½ small onion chopped
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
4 ounces shredded sharp cheddar
cheese
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water
DIRECTIONS
1. In a bowl of an electric stand mixer dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let sit for a few
minutes to allow yeast to activate. Add in remaining dough ingredients and mix until dough
forms using the dough hook attachment.
2. Remove the dough to a  oured work surface and knead for about 5 minutes being careful to
not over work. Place the dough into a greased bowl, cover with a hand towel or plastic wrap
and let rest for an hour or until dough has doubled in size.
1. In a large sauté pan, fry bacon until crisp and remove with a slotted spoon reserving the
grease. Add in the onions and continue to sauté until onions soften. Add in the ground beef
and cook until browned breaking up the beef with a spatula. Remove from the heat and
drain excess fat.
2. Return the pan back to the heat and add the cooked bacon, pepper, garlic, barbeque sauce
and optional hot sauce if desired, continue to cook on low heat stirring occasionally for
about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and fold in the cheese, set aside to cool.
3. Select
CHEF MODE then select BACON CHEESE BUNS. Follow
instructions on the screen and allow the oven to preheat.
4. While the oven heats, divide the dough into fourths. Roll each portion into a 12"× 4"
rectangle and then cut each into 3 squares.
5. Make an egg wash by whisking the 2 eggs with the 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl.
6. Using an ice cream scoop place about ¼ cup of the meat  ling in the center of each square.
Bring each of the corners to the center of the buns and pinch slightly layering on top of
each other, using the egg wash mixture to seal together.
7. Place buns on a greased baking sheet and brush the tops with more of the egg wash.
8. Once the oven is preheated place the Bacon Cheese Buns into the oven and select OK to
bake.
9. Once done remove from oven and serve warm.
