Steps:
- In a small saucepan, heat milk, water and butter until very warm, 120 degrees F (50 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 3/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Mix milk mixture into flour mixture, and then mix in egg. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
- Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into smooth balls, and place on a greased baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Cover, and let rise for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- For Hot Dog Buns: Shape each piece into a 6x4 inch rectangle. Starting with the longer side, roll up tightly, and pinch edges and ends to seal. Let rise about 20 to 25 minutes. Bake as above. These buns are pretty big. I usually make 16 instead of 12.

HAMBURGER OR HOT DOG BUNS
There's nothing better with your burgers than homemade buns. For a heartier bun substitute 1 cups of whole wheat flour for 1 cup all-purpose flour. I've written the instructions for use with a stand mixer, however you can knead by hand. Prep time includes rising. Recipe comes from Peter Reinhart's 'The Bread Baker's Apprentice'. These are hearty buns, perfect for bratwurst and BBQ sandwiches. Note: Milk can be substituted for the buttermilk, and will slightly affect the final outcome, so experiment and see which one you like best. The same is true with the different types of fat.

Steps:
- In a large mixer bowl, blend together the flour, salt, sugar and yeast.
- Pour in the egg, butter and 1 1/2 cups buttermilk and mix on low speed with the paddle attachment until all the flour is absorbed and the dough forms a ball. If dough seems very stiff and dry, add additional buttermilk until the dough is soft and supple.
- With dough hook, knead dough on medium speed until soft, supple, and tacky, but not sticky. Continue kneading until the dough clears the sides of the bowl (may stick slightly to the bottom).
- Lighly oil a large bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl, turning over to coat it with oil.
- Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temperature for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in size.
- Remove dough from bowl and divide into 12 pieces, 3 ounces each.
- Shape each piece into a ball by stretching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all sides, rotating the ball a quarter-turn as you go.
- Place on lined baking sheets.
- Mist the dough lightly with spray oil and cover with a towel or plastic wrap and allow dough to rest for 20 minutes.
- For hamburger buns: gently press down on the rolls to form the desired shape.
- For hot dog buns: gently roll the dough on floured surface until elongated to about 4 inches; transfer to lined baking sheets.
- Mist tops of buns with spray oil and loosely cover with plastic wrap or a towel. Allow dough to rise at room temperature for 60 to 90 minutes, or until nearly doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Brush tops of the buns with egg wash and garnish with sesame or poppy seeds.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until they are golden brown (interior temperature should register 180 degrees in the center).
- When the buns are done, remove immediately from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack; This will prevent the crust from becoming soggy.

CHEF JOHN'S HOT DOG BUNS
Don't get me wrong; if you hand me a hot dog at the ball game, it's not like I'm going to throw it back in your face, but given the choice this butter-crisped, split-topped bun is the way to go. Thanks to its genius design the meat and fixings go in the top, which leaves three relatively flat sides to toast in butter.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Place yeast into bowl of a large stand mixer; whisk 1/2 cup flour and water into yeast until mixture is smooth. Let stand until mixture is foamy, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Whisk egg, 3 tablespoons melted butter, sugar, and salt into yeast mixture; add remaining flour and stir.
- Fit a dough hook onto stand mixer and knead the dough on low speed until soft and sticky, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape sides if needed. Poke and prod the dough with a silicone spatula; if large amounts of dough stick to the spatula, add a little more flour.
- Transfer dough onto a floured work surface; dough will be sticky and elastic but not stick to your fingers. Form the dough lightly into a smooth, round shape, gently tucking loose ends underneath.
- Wipe out stand mixer bowl, drizzle olive oil into the bowl, and turn dough over in the bowl several times to coat surface thinly with oil. Cover bowl with aluminum foil. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
- Transfer dough to a floured work surface and form into a 5x10-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut dough into 8 equal lengths. Turn each slice cut-side up and form into a hot dog bun shape about 5 inches long. Transfer dough, cut-sides up, to the prepared baking sheet about set them about 1/4-inch apart.
- Cut a slit about 1/8-inch deep down the center of each bun. Brush 2 tablespoons melted butter over the top and sides of each bun. Let rise until almost doubled in size and the buns have risen into each other, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake buns in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Brush tops with remaining melted butter.

Steps:
- Note: I gave up trying to put in weights in addition to volumes in the ingredients section. Water is 296g. Flour is 544g.
- In bread machine pan combine the warm water, oil, yeast, and sugar, mixing to dissolve.
- Allow yeast mixture to bloom for 10 minutes.
- Add egg, flour and salt to bread machine pan.
- Set bread machine to dough cycle and allow to run full cycle. (this is for 2 lb bread machine, if using a smaller bread machine then remove after kneading and allow to rise in a lightly covered bowl). Half way through the kneading cycle check your dough and if necessary add either water or flour 1 tablespoon at a time to adjust consistency. This can vary due to brand of flour or humidity.
- Coat your hands with flour and shake off the excess.
- Transfer the dough from the bread machine pan (or bowl if you are using a smaller bread machine) to a lightly floured dough board.
- Knead dough 6 or 8 times, folding over and turning a ¼ turn each time.
- With bench knife (or other knife) cut dough into 12 - 32 pieces, depending on what you are making.
- Shape dough into balls (or cylinders for hotdog buns) and place on sheet pan (I use a 16" pizza pan) lined with parchment.
- Loosely cover dough and let rise until ripe (30 minutes to 1 hr plus depending on temperature and the age of your yeast). Dough is ripe when approximately doubled or when you can press your index finger up to the first joint and it leaves an indention.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Just before putting in oven, brush the buns with half of the melted butter.
- For a variation brush with egg white instead of butter and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.
- Bake until golden brown, 18 to 25 minutes (my oven takes 21 minutes).
- Take the buns from the oven and brush them with the remaining melted butter.
- Slide the buns off the baking sheet onto a wire cooling rack rack and cool completely.
