The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

ingredients
2 packages active dry yeast
3 cups warm water, divided
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon salt
8 cups all-purpose flour
directions
In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add 1 tablespoon sugar; let stand for 5 minutes.
Add the remaining warm water and sugar. Beat in oil, salt and 4 cups flour until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into equal pieces. Shape each into an oval. Place 2" apart on greased baking sheets. With a scissors, cut a 1/4" deep slash across the top of each. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20 minutes.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 13-18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Seems like my grocery store never has buns like this when I need them. I hadn't considered making my own until I saw this recipe when I was looking for something else on this site. They turned out really well. The directions were very clear even for someone who doesn't bake a lot and has never made buns before. It's obviously more work than just picking up a bag of hoagie rolls at the store but these taste just as good if not better and really weren't hard to make.
