Steps:
- Place the water, canola oil, flour, sugar, salt, vital wheat gluten, and yeast into the pan of a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, select the Dough cycle, and turn on the machine. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- When the cycle is finished, remove the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and knead for 2 to 3 minutes. Cut the dough into 12 equal-size pieces, and roll the dough into balls by cupping your hand, with open fingers, over each piece of dough. Roll gently, with just a little pressure, to form a dough ball with a silky surface. Place the dough balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, and flatten each dough ball gently into a bun. Cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on racks before slicing.

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.

Tips:
- **Use bread flour:** Bread flour contains more protein than all-purpose flour, which results in a gluten-rich dough that will produce light and fluffy buns. - **Activate the yeast properly:** To ensure that the yeast is active and will help the dough rise properly, activate it in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. - **Knead the dough thoroughly:** Kneading the dough develops the gluten and helps to create a smooth, elastic dough. Knead for at least 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. - **Let the dough rise in a warm place:** The dough should rise in a warm place (about 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit) until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours. - **Shape the buns:** Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a ball and then shape it into a bun. Place the buns on a baking sheet and let them rise for another 30 minutes. - **Bake the buns:** Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. ###Conclusion:
These homemade hamburger and hot dog buns are soft, fluffy, and delicious. They are the perfect addition to any backyard barbecue or picnic.
