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.

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.

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:
- Activate the yeast properly: Make sure the water is lukewarm (around 110-115°F or 45-46°C) and add a pinch of sugar to help the yeast bloom.
- Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough develops the gluten and makes the buns light and fluffy. Knead for at least 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough double in size and become airy. You can place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the buns: Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal pieces and shape them into buns. Place the buns on a greased baking sheet, cover them with plastic wrap, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the buns: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the buns for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
- Serve the buns warm or at room temperature: Hamburger buns are best served warm or at room temperature. They can be used for hamburgers, sliders, sandwiches, or any other type of sandwich.

These easy hamburger buns are the perfect addition to any burger night. They are soft, fluffy, and have a delicious golden brown crust.
