Hamburger Or Hot Dog Buns Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• In a large mixer bowl, blend together the flour, salt, sugar and yeast.
• Pour in the egg, butter and 1 1/2 cups buttermilk and mix on low speed with the paddle attachment until all the flour is absorbed and the dough forms a ball. If dough seems very stiff and dry, add additional buttermilk until the dough is soft and supple.
• With dough hook, knead dough on medium speed until soft, supple, and tacky, but not sticky. Continue kneading until the dough clears the sides of the bowl (may stick slightly to the bottom).
• Lighly oil a large bowl and transfer the dough to the bowl, turning over to coat it with oil.
• Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temperature for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the dough doubles in size.
• Remove dough from bowl and divide into 12 pieces, 3 ounces each.
• Shape each piece into a ball by stretching the surface of the dough around to the bottom on all sides, rotating the ball a quarter-turn as you go.
• Place on lined baking sheets.
• Mist the dough lightly with spray oil and cover with a towel or plastic wrap and allow dough to rest for 20 minutes.
• For hamburger buns: gently press down on the rolls to form the desired shape.
• For hot dog buns: gently roll the dough on floured surface until elongated to about 4 inches; transfer to lined baking sheets.
• Mist tops of buns with spray oil and loosely cover with plastic wrap or a towel. Allow dough to rise at room temperature for 60 to 90 minutes, or until nearly doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Brush tops of the buns with egg wash and garnish with sesame or poppy seeds.
• Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until they are golden brown (interior temperature should register 180 degrees in the center).
• When the buns are done, remove immediately from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack; This will prevent the crust from becoming soggy.

Steps:

• PLACE ALL INGREDIENTS IN BREAD PAN; SELECT DOUGH SETTING AND PRESS START. WHEN DOUGH HAS RISEN LONG ENOUGH, THE MACHINE WILL BEEP. TURN OFF MACHINE AND REMOVE BREAD PAN, AND TURN OUT DOUGH ONTO A FLOURED COUNTERTOP OR CUTTING BOARD. GENTLY ROLL AND DIVIDE DOUGH INTO 8 EQUAL PIECES FOR HAMBURGER BUNS OR 12 HOT DOG BUNS. GREASE A BAKING SHEET AND PUT DOUGH PIECES ON SHEET ( I USE TWO SHEETS). COVER AND LET RISE BEFORE BAKING IN 400 DEGREE OVEN. I ACTUALLY REMOVE THE DOUGH FROM THE BREAD MACHINE AND PUT IN A GREASED BOWL, COVER AND LET RISE AGAIN. THEN I POUR OUT ON A FLOURED BOARD AND SEPARATE INTO 8 ROUND PIECES FOR HAMBURGER BUNS OR 12 PIECES OBLONG SHAPED FOR HOT DOG BUNS. I PLACE ON GREASED SHEET PANS AND LET RISE IN WARM PLACE AND THEN BAKE IN 375 DEGREE OVEN. WHEN THEY COME OUT OF THE OVER AND TAKE A STICK OF BUTTER AND ROLL OVER THE TOPS TO MAKE THEM SHINY AND TASTIER. JUST SLICE WHEN READY TO USE. I SOMETIME BUTTER AND TOAST THEM JUST BEFORE USING THEM. IF YOUR MACHINE DOES NOT HAVE A REGULAR DOUGH SETTING, JUST ADD THE INGREDIENTS AND LET IT MIX UNTIL THE BEEP AND SHUT OFF THE MACHINE AND TAKE OUT THE DOUGH AT THAT POINT.. IT DOES NOT TAKE LONG FOR EITHER RISING PERIODS. I MAKE ONE BATCH FOR HAMBURGER BUNS AND WHEN I TAKE THEM OUT OF THE MACHINE AND PUT THEM IN A GREASED BOWL TO RISE, I MAKE ANOTHER BATCH FOR HOT DOG BUNS. BY THE TIME THE HOT DOG BUNS ARE READY TO TAKE OUT OF BREAD MACHINE AND PUT IN A GREASED BOWL, IT IS TIME TO TAKE THE HB BUNS OUT OF THE BOWL AND MAKE INTO THE BUNS TO RISE. WHEN THE HOT DOG BUNS ARE READY TO POUR OUT OF THE BOWL FROM RISING, THE HB BUNS ARE READY TO STICK INTO OVEN. THEY BAKE WHILE THE HOT DOG BUNS ARE RISING. TO GET EIGHT EVEN PIECES I DIVIDE THE DOUGH IN HALF, THEN IN HALF AGAIN TO MAKE FOUR. THEN I DIVIDE EACH OF THE FOUR IN HALF AGAIN TO MAKE EIGHT. DOG BUNS ARE RISING ON THEIR SHEETS.
