Hamburger Buns

Making your own homemade hamburger buns is really easy!These took only about 40 minutes, start to finish.  They're soft and sweet, and I bet you have all the ingredients in your pantry. So here is the thing, I am not saying you will never buy store bought hamburger buns again, but perhaps once in a while you will bake these instead, because they are that good!






2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (110° to 115°)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour


1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3-5 minutes. Divide into 12 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place 3 in. apart on greased/or baking paper lined baking sheets.
3. Cover and let rest for 25 minutes. Bake at 200//425° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.


**To add a golden sheen, whisk one egg yolk with 2-3 teaspoons water, then brush buns before baking.
** after the egg wash add poppy seeds or sesame seeds
**divide the dough into 8 portions for larger buns, or make slider buns by dividing into 20 portions
