Recipe Introduction
Making hamburger buns is fun and easy. Best of all
once you
do make and eat them, you will never
want the store bought ones again. They taste better,
look
better and are better for you. They don't get soggy
from
the wet goodies like tomatos and pickles. I left a fully
dressed burger sit overnight in the fridge and the bun
was
still dry.
You can use any bread recipe you want. Make it on
the dough cycle and follow the directions below. HERE IS A
VERY POPULAR AND TNT ONE.
The recipe follows. Also, don't forget
you can use the buns for any type of sandwich and not use
hamburgers.
List of Ingredients
Makes 8 to 12 Buns
1-1/2 Cups Water
4 Cups Bread Flour
3 Tablespoons Sugar
2 Tablespoons Dry Milk or Dry Buttermilk
1-1/2 Teaspoons Salt
2 Tablespoons Butter
2-1/2 Teaspoons Bread Machine Yeast
Recipe
Place all of the ingredients in your machines fully
assembled
pan..in the order recommended for your machine.
Select
the dough or manual cycle and press start.
1: Once the dough cycle is finished, remove the
dough to a
floured surface. Knead the dough for a few minutes to
remove
any trapped air. If the dough is sticky, knead in some
flour. Oy do this
if dough sticks to your fingers.
2: Shape the dough in a smooth ball and dust lightly
with
flour.
3.Using a bench knife. a dough knife or a sharp knife
divide the dough into quarters.
4: Divide the dough quarters in half. This will give
you 8 dough chunks. This is as far as togo in dividing
the dough asto get 8 good sized buns.
However, if you want 12 smaller buns, divide each
dough quarter in thirds. This will give you 12
dough chunks.
Whichever size you choose try to make them as
close in size as possible.
5: Next, take the ball of dough in your hands and
start
pulling and tucking the edges under and to the middle
of
the dough. Keep doing this until you have a nice
smooth
round ball of dough. Then turn the dough ball over and
pinch
the ends together to seal the flaps of dough. Place the
dough ball on a floured surface and repeat with the
remaining dough balls.
Using the palm of your hand, flatten the dough ball to
about 3/4 of an inch thick. Repeat this with the other
dough balls.
7: note some use, For hamburger buns ,uthe King
Arthur
hamburger bun pan (5100). It has indentations in it
that
each flattened disc of dough goes into.
It can make six at a time. You can also use a cookie
sheet that has been lightly greased.
Cover the pan with a damp light towel and place
in a warm place to rise. Allow to rise for 1 hour.
8: Once the buns have risen for an hour, brush the
tops
with melted butter or egg wash (1 egg white + 1
tbsp.
water and mix well). Place them in a cold oven. Set
the
oven to 300 degrees and
set a timer for 30 minutes. When the timer goes
off, turn the oven up to 400 degrees and set the
timer for 15 minutes.
9: When the buns are done baking, remove them from
the
oven and allow to cool for 30 to 45 minutes before
using.
Repeat Steps 6 - 9 with the remaining dough
balls.
Congratulations! You just made your first and I am
sure not
your
last batch of homemade hamburger buns.
