Homemade Hamburger Buns

With nice weather approaching there is nothing we love more than grilling out!  A few nights ago Josh was craving a homemade hamburger and who am I to refuse! 🙂  We had decided this early enough that I was able to throw all the ingredients in the bread machine for homemade hamburger buns.  Here is what you’ll need…

1 egg

7/8 cup milk

4 1/2 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

3 cups flour (you can use bread flour if you prefer)

1 tablespoon yeast (you’ll need rapid rise or bread machine yeast)

Set your bread machine to the dough setting (usually takes about 90 mins) and let it do it’s thing. 🙂

When the dough is ready, remove from the machine and punch down.  Cut into 9 equal pieces.  (I usually do 7 and make mine a touch bigger.)  Let the dough rest for about 5 mins. 

Roll each piece of dough into a ball and form a patty that is about 3-4 inches wide and 1/2 thick.  Place the rolls on backing sheet, cover loosely and let rise for 20 mins. 

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Bake 12-15 mins until a skewer or toothpick comes out clean from rolls.

Let cool on a wire rack until needed.  Slice in half evenly and dress with your choice of condiments.

We served ours with garlic oven fries and it was delicious!  Enjoy!
