Chef Tips

Butter percentages come from the mix as 100%.  For example, if you used 5 pounds of mix, then 10% of the mix is 8oz soft butter.  You would add 8oz soft butter to the bowl, and another 8oz soft butter as the roll in fat.  You may also substitute margarine for butter in this recipe (Bakery Essentials EIE SOY Bakers Margarine, 2505397).
