EASY HAMBURGER BUNS

This recipe came with King Arthur's hamburger bun pan I purchased. Not as super soft as store bought buns, but I like these much better. I use my automatic bread machine (ABM) to make these using the dough cyle for kneading and forming them separately. If you are using the ABM, you can add all ingredients in the machine while it heats up except the milk/butter mixture. When it starts to knead, add the milk/butter mixture in and let the machine complete the dough cycle and proceed with step 3.

Time 15m

Yield 6 buns

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter, soft
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons yeast
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes (optional)
1 egg white, beaten
1 tablespoon water
sesame seeds, for sprinkling

Steps:

Warm the milk and butter together just until the butter starts to melt.
Place all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl. (I use my bread maker dough cycle here). Stir to combine, then knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, about 10-15 minute. Add a bit of additional flour or water if needed.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover it with lightly greased plastic wrap, and let the dough rise until it's doubled in bulk.
Turn the dough out onto a lighly floured work surface and divide it into six pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place it in the lightly greased pan.
Cover the pan let the buns rest for 10 min, then press each to flatten the top. Cover and let it rise until puffy, about 1 hour.
Mix beaten egg white with 1 T water.
Just before baking, brush with the egg white water mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake the buns in a preheated 375 F degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool on a rack before slicing in half horizontally.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 Tbsp active dry yeast
1 c + 2 tb. warm water (110-115 degrees)
1/3 c vegetable oil
1/4 c sugar
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dill weed or caraway seed optional
3 to 3 1/2 c all purpose flour

Steps:

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the egg, salt and optional herbs and mix with whisk. Add enough flour (3 cups) to make a soft dough and stir together with a rubber spatula.
2. turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not let rise. Divide into 12 pieces and shape each into a ball. Place 3 inches apart on a couple of greased baking sheets.
3. cover and let rest for about 20 minutes. Bake on center rack in oven at 420 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients for the best results. Fresh yeast, flour, milk, and eggs will give your buns a light and fluffy texture.
Activate the yeast properly before using it. In most recipes, this means dissolving it in warm water with a little sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Knead the dough well. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will make your buns chewy and elastic.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This usually takes about 1 hour.
Shape the dough into buns and place them on a greased baking sheet.
Let the buns rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until they have almost doubled in size.
Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving.

Conclusion:

Homemade hamburger buns are a delicious and rewarding addition to any burger night. With a little time and effort, you can make soft, fluffy buns that are perfect for holding all of your favorite toppings. So next time you're craving a burger, skip the store-bought buns and make your own instead. You won't be disappointed!
