The Best PAPO SECOS

Ingredients

5 cup flour
1 pkg dry active yeast
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp Earth Balance Butter
2 cup lukewarm water

Instructions
Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of the lukewarm water with 2 tsp sugar added. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Place yeast mixture in large bowl, add 1 cup flour and mix to make a batter. Cover with saran wrap and let sit in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.

Pull out the sticky dough and add in remaining ingredients. Mix well. Then, on a well floured surface, hand-knead for 10 to 12 minutes, or until smooth.

Gather in to a ball and place into a lightly greased bowl. Cover again and cover with saran wrap in a warm place near oven for an hour or until doubled in size. Turn dough to a flour work area. Cut dough in half and pull a part about the size of a orange, roll with your hands into a ball. 

Gently reform the dough and cut out one or two more buns you should have 7-8. Let the buns rise uncovered in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

Next brush the tops with a bit more of melted non-dairy butter and gently press a small divot in the center using two fingers. This will also help them rise evenly, so the middle won't form a dome. Place a 9 x 13 pan on the lower rack in over and fill it half way with water.
Bake in a 450 degree oven for 10-15 minutes or until fluffy and slightly golden brown.
