Time 3h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vital wheat gluten
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast

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.

Time 2h54m

Yield 8-10 buns

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups warm milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 large egg
3 -4 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

Place all dough ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer. Knead for 4-5 minutes.
Let rise, covered, for an hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down dough and divide into 10-12 pieces. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Shape each piece into a ball and place on a greased cookie sheet, fairly close to each other. Squish the tops down gently with your hand. The buns will look small but they will get much bigger during their second rise.
Let rise for 45 minutes to an hour. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Make the egg wash by mixing the egg and water. Brush over the tops of the buns (helps with browning) and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
Bake for 20-24 minutes.

BIG SOFT HAMBURGER BUNS

These homemade buns have a wonderful light-textured soft interior and a delicate crust thanks to the inclusion of both mashed potatoes and cottage cheese. They are very easy to make in a KitchenAid stand mixer and so much better than store-bought buns! The recipe is from Sunset Breads (1995)

Time 2h40m

Yield 9-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1/2 cup instant mashed potatoes
1 cup boiling water
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
4 -4 1/2 cups flour (I use part whole wheat flour)

Steps:

Stir together potatoes and boiling water; allow to cool at least 5-10 minutes; meanwhile, sprinkle yeast over warm water; let stand about 5 minutes until foamy.
Stir together potato mixture, yeast mixture, cottage cheese, sugar, oil, egg, and salt; gradually stir in (KitchenAid stand mixer on low speed #1) flour until a soft dough comes together to form a smooth ball.
Knead 9-10 minutes (in KitchenAid stand mixer on medium speed #2) until dough is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky; add more flour, one tablespoon at a time during the kneading process, if necessary to reduce stickiness.
Place dough into oiled bowl; cover bowl and place in a warm place; allow dough to rise (about 1 1/2 hours) until doubled.
Punch down dough and knead a few strokes to release air; divide dough into 9 (or 12 portions if you want to end up with not-quite-so-large buns) equal portions; with lightly oiled or floured hands, shape each dough portion into a ball, gently pulling and tucking top surface under until smooth.
Place formed buns 2 or more inches apart, tucked sides down, on a greased baking sheet; cover and allow buns to rise (about 30-45 minutes) until puffy.
Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes, or until buns are light golden-brown; remove from oven and transfer to cooling rack.
NOTE: Makes nine 4 1/2 to 5-inch buns or twelve 3 1/2 to 4-inch buns which, once cooled, may be stored airtight in a plastic bag and refrigerated or frozen if desired.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
Make sure the milk and water are lukewarm before adding the yeast. This will help the yeast activate and rise properly.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. This will help develop the gluten in the dough and make it strong.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to grow and produce gas, which will make the buns light and fluffy.
Shape the dough into buns and place them on a greased baking sheet. Let them rise for another 30 minutes, or until they have doubled in size.
Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Let the buns cool completely before serving.

Conclusion:

These soft hamburger buns are the perfect addition to any backyard barbecue or summer picnic. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy delicious, homemade hamburger buns that are sure to impress your friends and family.
