*I made 6 huge buns out of this. When I say huge, I mean HUGE!!!! If I had realized they would be that big, I would have made 8. These are soooooo good! 

I haven't tried this in the bread machine, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Just make sure you add the ingredients per manufacturers instructions. Set on the "Dough" cycle. When done, take out the dough, shape and set on the baking sheet. Let rise for 20 minutes and bake.
