Why You’ll Love Moomie’s Buns
A group of my foodie friends have been making and praising these Moomie’s buns for years. It took a lovely gift of yeast from the folks at Red Star Yeast to push me into baking these. I had a nice stash of Red Star Platinum Yeast (affiliate link)which worked perfectly.
I was also the winner of a Red Star Yeast giveaway featured on Shulie’s delectable blog, Food Wanderings. I will be baking LOTS of yummy breads. I tracked down the origin of this recipe to these Beautiful Burger Buns shared on the KAF online community. These Yeast Roll Knots garnered rave reviews plus I noticed this same bread baker also had a cinnamon bun recipe. Those will be up next!
How to Make This Yeast Roll Recipe
Frequently used as hamburger buns, I decided to make dinner rolls from this yeast roll recipe. It was Nick’s last night home from his college spring break, and oldest son, Tom, would join us for dinner, too. I used a technique for making rosettes I saw on this Youtube video to form these yeast roll knots.
Basically, you roll out a snake of dough, at least a foot in length. Tie a knot, then tuck the tail that is coming from the bottom up into the middle of the knot, then tuck the other tail (coming from the top of the knot) under the knot and press into the middle. Gently cradle the bun and pat to round out. Watch the video. It will make the procedure SO much clearer.
Easy Yeast Rolls
The menfolk of the family were dying to dig into these yeast rolls, and there were lots of compliments at dinner. I sent some Moomie’s buns home with both Nick and Tom. I should have made a double batch! Best.Rolls.Ever.
These yeast roll knots are SO quick to make with the instant yeast. The dough is a bit sticky, but don’t give into temptation and add more flour as the recipe produces such a tender, delicious bread as is. Whip up a batch of these Easy Yeast Rolls for your next family dinner!

I wish I could have been in the house while those were baking…I love the aroma of baking bread. They look absolutely perfect, Liz. No wonder the guys were begging for more and took away. Definitely make more next time. 🙂
Any excuse to make bread, right? Those are beautiful rolls! I’d eat half of them…then sleep on the rest.
Dear Lizzy,
These look like perfection. You are wonderful.
Thank you dear Lizzy for your visits and your kind comments of encouragement. You cannot imagine how much it means to me to be thought of and cared about. Thank you for your friendship.
Blessings dearest. Catherine xoxo
Wow, these look awesome. Beautiful buns!
these are stunningly gorgeous Liz!
Beautifully shaped buns, but where does moomie come from lol?
I was wondering how you achieved that beautiful shape so I popped over to watch the video – very simple and I’m trying this the next time I make rolls. These sound delicious too – the proportions and ingredients look very similar to a “Southern Hotel Roll” recipe I use all the time, but I’m intrigued by how fast you can get them done from start to finish… Very cool and love it!
Those buns look soooo nice! I honestly could quit my job to just stay at home and do yeast baking….I will have to try this technique. Love it!
Where did the name of those buns come from? It is what I called my Finnish grandmother. They look so very good too!
I really love the look of your buns 🙂 . No, but really, these made my mouth water.
These are gorgeous!
Lizzy, these buns are superb, perfect, and totally delicious. They look like they were brought home from a fancy bake shop…but that fancy bake shop is none other than; Lizzy’s Bake Shop!
You seem to weave your magical wand each day and produce more and more delectable things that I’ve ever seen! So sorry for not being consistent in visiting and commenting these days, but I truly admire your work! xoxo
I’ve been wanting to make a good dinner roll, but have not had success yet. Maybe these rolls will be the answer. They are so beautiful!
These buns just looks perfect and welldone ! and I will recomend this book to my gluten free and vegan friends sound amazing for them Congrats to your friend Suzanne 🙂
As a bread baking fanatic, this type of recipe literally make me want to go and me them right now. The knot looks so pretty Liz! Similar to the kaiser roll I think. Anyway, this go into my file to make as soon as possible!
Moomie Buns sounds so comfy and homey. Looking at the photos I see they are a bit more upscale à la Liz Berg and look like pretty flowers. The way you describe the making doesn’t make it seem so daunting.
So, thank you!
Congratulations to Suzanne, too, for a very lovely looking Afternoon Tea cookbook =) Love that the recipes are for gluten free, vegan types (who abound in SoCal.)
Your rolls turned out beautiful! I’ve bookmarked the recipe to try for a future Sunday dinner-thanks:@)
They are perfectly made little buns Liz! Perfect for breakfast or to accompany a lunch or dinner!
Liz, these buns must be some of the prettiest and most delicious one I have seen in a long time – I cannot believe how cute they look, just perfect for teatime or dinner. I will have to look at the video you mentioned and learn a new technique. Thanks for posting the recipe.
Have a good Wednesday!
I bet the “men folk” adored these buns. You were right, the video is great and helps clarify how to make these pretty braids. Time to get that grill fired up as these would make awesome burger buns. Have a super week and take care, BAM
