Hamburger Bun Recipe

Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at 12:46

I wanted to post my hamburger bun recipe as I had a couple of people ask for it. In response to Bell who wanted to know if I had froze the buns, I have not tried to do that. So far I have not had a very good freezer for freezing bread products. So here it is:

1/2 c. water                                    1 egg

1/2 c. milk                                       1 pkg. yeast (2 1/4 teas)

1/4 c. sugar                                     1/4 c. warm water (110 degrees)

1 teas. salt                                       4 c. flour

4 teas. butter

Mix together milk & water and scald. Get it really hot but don't boil. Add sugar, salt & butter. Stir until everything is melted and dissolved. Add egg, stir. Put the yeast in the warm water in a separate bowl and mix until dissolved. Add to the rest. Stir together. Add 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add the other 2 cups of flour until a dough forms. Turn out on a floured surface and knead for a few strokes. Put in a bowl and let rise until double. Punch down and shape into buns and place on a greased cookie sheet. Let rise again until double. Bake at 425 for 15-20 min.  I made 8 buns with this recipe. Make sure that you flated them down, (about 1 1/2 inches) mine puffed up quite a bit. Even if they look round like a cannon ball, you can still use them and they will taste great! Just flaten more next time.

Enjoy! If you have any further question, just ask.
