Steps:
- For the dough: Warm the milk and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over low heat until it is about 100 degrees F (but no more than 110 degrees). Remove the saucepan from the heat, and sprinkle the yeast over the liquid. Sprinkle a pinch of the sugar over the top, and set aside without stirring until foamy, about 5 minutes. Then whisk in the butter and egg yolk.
- Whisk together the flour, remaining sugar and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and stir in the yeast mixture with a wooden spoon until you've made a thick, slightly sticky dough. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface, and knead until soft and elastic, about 6 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball.
- Brush the inside of a large bowl with butter. Put the dough ball in the buttered bowl, turning to coat lightly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, trace a circle the size of the dough ball on the plastic and note the time. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Turn the dough out of the bowl, and knead briefly to release excess air; re-form the dough into a ball, and return it to the bowl. Lightly butter a large piece of plastic wrap, and lay it on the dough. Cover the entire bowl tightly with the rest of the plastic, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight to let the dough proof.
- For the filling: Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and just beginning to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the leeks with the flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and toasted, about 1 minute. Whisk in the wine and 1/4 cup water, and let the mixture thicken, whisking constantly, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the Gruyere, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Transfer the filling to a medium bowl, and let cool completely. (The filling will firm up a bit, but if it's too warm, it will be difficult to form the rolls.)
- For the rolls: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with the 2 tablespoons softened butter. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface, and press it flat. Roll it into a 10-by-18-inch rectangle, with 1 long edge facing you. Spread the cooled filling evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border on the side opposite you. Sprinkle the ham over the filling. Starting from the side facing you, roll the dough up into a tight roll. Lightly brush the 1-inch border with water, and continue rolling to seal the roll. Fold the ends in just a bit, and if any spots look thicker than others, even out the roll with your hands.
- Cut the roll every 1 1/2 inches with a serrated knife, to make 12 pinwheel slices. Place the slices flat in the prepared pan (put the end pieces cut-side up), spacing them 1 inch apart. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap. Set in a warm place to rise until the slices double in size with no gaps in between, 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Bake the buns until they're golden brown and the tops spring back when pressed lightly, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
HAM BUNS
These tasty sandwiches are a great way to use leftover ham. Friends with whom I've shared the recipe tell me that ham buns disappear fast at potlucks or parties. Use mini-buns and make ahead for an easy meal or snack. -Esther Shank Harrisonburg, Virginia

HOMEMADE HAMBURGER BUNS
I've gotten a thousand request for these. We're going to make our own, and not only are these going to be the perfect shape, they're going to taste way better than anything that comes out of a plastic bag. The total time takes almost 4 hours, but the actual amount of work involved is maybe 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- Place yeast into bowl of a large stand mixer; whisk in 1/2 cup flour and warm water until smooth. Let stand until mixture is foamy, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Whisk 1 egg, melted butter, sugar, and salt thoroughly into yeast mixture. Add remaining flour (about 3 cups).
- 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, about 2 hours.
- Transfer dough to a floured work surface and pat to flatten bubbles and form into a slightly rounded rectangle of dough about 5x10 inches and about 1/2 inch thick. Dust dough lightly with flour if needed. Cut dough into 8 equal pieces. Form each piece into a round shape, gently tucking ends underneath as before.
- Use your hands to gently pat and stretch the dough rounds into flat disc shapes about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange buns about 1/2 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Dust buns very lightly with flour. Drape a piece of plastic wrap over the baking sheet (do not seal tightly). Let buns rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Beat 1 egg with milk in a small bowl, using a fork, until mixture is thoroughly combined. Very gently and lightly brush tops of buns with egg wash without deflating the risen dough. Sprinkle each bun with sesame seeds.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on top, 15 to 17 minutes. Buns will stick together slightly where they touch. Let cool completely, tear the buns apart, and slice in half crosswise to serve.

CHEESE HAM BUNS
anyone like ham and cheese alot, this recipe is the cheese buns you buy in the store (Except homemade) taken up a step by adding ham. It's yummy having the ham rolled in w/ the cheese, simple too. Actually to make it even easier if you have a breadmaker make a 2pd loaf on dough cycle and use that, saves seven steps. I found this online and am sorry i don't know what the site was b/c kudos to the person who put this on it.

HAM BUNS
Jennifer Owens doesn't know where her mother, Frances, first found the recipe for these ham buns, but they have been a part of her life since childhood in Easley, S.C. It may have come from relatives in Tennessee, as a similar recipe appears as "Hallelujah Ham Loaves" in "Dinner on the Diner," a 1983 cookbook from the Junior League of Chattanooga. The warm appetizer has won fans wherever Ms. Owens goes. Her mother's original formula called for raw onions, but Ms. Owens now sautés them. Use good smoked ham, either holiday leftovers or from the deli counter. As the buns bake, the butter pools at the bottom, toasting up the base of these irresistible bite-size sandwiches.

Steps:
- Position racks in top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onion, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
- As the onion cooks, split each flat of rolls in half, running a bread knife parallel to the counter as you slice the still-connected rolls. Once the onion has finished cooking, remove from heat and set aside. Place two sheet pans in the oven, one on each rack, to heat while assembling the rolls.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mustard, poppy seeds and Worcestershire sauce. Add the remaining cup of butter and warm onion. Stir in cheese and ham until evenly combined.
- On a sheet of aluminum foil large enough to completely encase a flat of rolls, place one flat, and open like a book. Spread about a quarter of the ham mixture in an even layer over the bottom half of the rolls to the edges. Close the book, so to speak, laying the still-connected roll top over the ham-covered base. Wrap the rolls tightly with the foil, crimping the edges of the foil to enclose them. Repeat with the three other flats of party rolls.
- Divide the four packets between the two heated sheet pans. Bake until the cheese melts and rolls get toasty, 10 to 12 minutes. Unwrap and serve the flats on platters, encouraging diners to pull a bun from its brethren.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh ingredients make all the difference in the taste of your hamburger buns. Look for high-quality flour, yeast, butter, and milk.
- Proof the yeast. Proofing the yeast ensures that it is active and will help your buns rise properly. To proof the yeast, dissolve it in warm water with a little sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it is foamy.
- Knead the dough properly. Kneading the dough develops the gluten in the flour, which gives the buns their structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise. After you have kneaded the dough, let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide, which will make the buns light and fluffy.
- Shape the buns. Once the dough has risen, shape it into buns. You can make round buns, square buns, or even braided buns. Be creative and have fun!
- Bake the buns. Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on the buns so that they do not overcook.
Conclusion:
Hamburger buns are a versatile and delicious bread that can be used for a variety of sandwiches, burgers, and sliders. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own hamburger buns at home that are just as good as, if not better than, store-bought buns. So next time you are craving a hamburger, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
