Time 2h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup milk
1 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
5 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Combine the milk, 1 cup of water, butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil then remove from the heat and let stand until lukewarm. If the mixture is too hot, it will kill the yeast.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour and yeast. Pour in wet ingredients and stir until the dough starts to pull together. If you have a stand mixer, use the dough hook to mix for about 8 minutes. If not, knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let stand until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down the dough and divide into 12 portions They should be a little larger than a golf ball. Make tight balls out of the dough by pulling the dough tightly around and pinching it at the bottom. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. After the rolls sit for a minute and relax, flatten each ball with the palm of your hand until it is 3 to 4 inches wide. You may want to oil your hand first. Set rolls aside until they double in size, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Mix together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of water in a cup or small bowl. Brush onto the tops of the rolls. Position 2 oven racks so they are not too close to the top or bottom of the oven.
  • Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove the rolls from the oven and return them to different shelves so each one spends a little time on the top. Continue to bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until nicely browned on the top and bottom.

Time 3h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

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.

Tips for Making Perfect Hamburger Buns:

- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh yeast and high-quality flour are essential for making soft and fluffy hamburger buns. Make sure your yeast is active and your flour is fresh before starting. - Proof the yeast: Proofing the yeast helps to activate it and ensure that it is working properly. To proof the yeast, dissolve it in warm water with a little sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy. - Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten in the flour, which gives the buns their structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. - Let the dough rise: After kneading, let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. Rising the dough allows the yeast to produce carbon dioxide gas, which creates the air pockets that make the buns light and fluffy. - Shape the dough: Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal pieces and shape them into buns. You can make round buns, square buns, or any other shape you like. - Let the buns rise again: After shaping the buns, let them rise again for 30-60 minutes, or until they have doubled in size. This second rise helps to ensure that the buns are light and fluffy. - Bake the buns: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the buns for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Making soft and fluffy hamburger buns at home is a rewarding experience. By following these tips, you can create delicious buns that will make your burgers even more enjoyable. So next time you're craving a burger, try making your own buns instead of buying them from the store. You'll be surprised at how easy it is and how much better they taste.
