I have been wanting to post this recipe for quite a while. I love making my own breads and such, but hadn’t considered making my own buns until recently. The first time I used the recipe I made hot dog buns. I thought it would be fun. I made them a little large (it took 1 1/2 dog to fill the bun) but I still loved them. My second time making them I did hamburger buns. This time I used all white whole wheat flour. We loved these too! You could totally make a bunch and freeze them, then whenever you are having hamburgers or hot dogs just pull a few out and you are done. I might not ever go back to buying hot dog or hamburger buns again!
Homemade Hamburger or Hot Dog Buns
(using a Bread Maker)
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups milk, slightly warmed
- 1 beaten egg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 3/4 cups flour *
- 1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
Directions
(hamburger buns, if you want hot dog buns. cut ’em to that shape)
- Place all ingredients in pan of bread machine, according to manufacturer’s directions.
- Select dough setting.
- When cycle is complete, turn out onto floured surface.
- Cut dough in half and roll each half out to a 1″ thick circle.
- Cut each half into six 3 1/2″ rounds with inverted glass as a cutter.
- Place on greased baking sheet far apart and brush with melted butter.
- Cover and let rise until doubled, about one hour.
- Bake at 350° for 9 minutes.Note: Oven temperatures vary so check after 9 minutes to see if done. Mine took about 13 minutes until they were nice and golden brown on top.
- I like to brush on some more melted butter when they are hot and fresh out of the oven.
*Note: I have also used all purpose flour and whole wheat flour and both work great! With the whole wheat flour use a little less. I find that it absorbs more moisture so you don’t need quite as much.
