Burger or Hot Dog Buns - GrandmaLynn
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) package instant yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 egg

DIRECTIONS:

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.

Best Burger Buns

Ingredients

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp. instant yeast
1 tsp. salt
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 cup warm water
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
2-2 1/2 cups flour

Directions

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add salt, sugar, beaten egg and
melted butter with a wire whisk, a little at a time. Then knead
on floured surface, adding only enough flour to keep dough from
sticking. A soft dough makes lighter buns. Cover and let rise in
greased bowl 1 hour or until doubled. Divide into 12 pieces and
form into smooth balls, greasing hands if necessary. Place on
greased sheet and flatten with your hand. Cover and let rise
30-40 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 10-12 minutes or until
golden.
