Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
• Place yeast into bowl of a large stand mixer; whisk in 1/2 cup flour and warm water until smooth. Let stand until mixture is foamy, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Whisk 1 egg, melted butter, sugar, and salt thoroughly into yeast mixture. Add remaining flour (about 3 cups).
• Fit a dough hook onto stand mixer and knead the dough on low speed until soft and sticky, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape sides if needed. Poke and prod the dough with a silicone spatula; if large amounts of dough stick to the spatula, add a little more flour.
• Transfer dough onto a floured work surface; dough will be sticky and elastic but not stick to your fingers. Form the dough lightly into a smooth, round shape, gently tucking loose ends underneath.
• Wipe out stand mixer bowl, drizzle olive oil into the bowl, and turn dough over in the bowl several times to coat surface thinly with oil. Cover bowl with aluminum foil. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
• Transfer dough to a floured work surface and pat to flatten bubbles and form into a slightly rounded rectangle of dough about 5x10 inches and about 1/2 inch thick. Dust dough lightly with flour if needed. Cut dough into 8 equal pieces. Form each piece into a round shape, gently tucking ends underneath as before.
• Use your hands to gently pat and stretch the dough rounds into flat disc shapes about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange buns about 1/2 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Dust buns very lightly with flour. Drape a piece of plastic wrap over the baking sheet (do not seal tightly). Let buns rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat 1 egg with milk in a small bowl, using a fork, until mixture is thoroughly combined. Very gently and lightly brush tops of buns with egg wash without deflating the risen dough. Sprinkle each bun with sesame seeds.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on top, 15 to 17 minutes. Buns will stick together slightly where they touch. Let cool completely, tear the buns apart, and slice in half crosswise to serve.

Steps:

• In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine yeast, water and 1 tablespoons honey; stir and let it sit for 15 minutes or until foamy.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, bread flour and sea salt; whisk until very well blended. In another bowl, beat 1 egg with melted butter and remaining tablespoons honey; set aside.
• After the yeast is alive and foamy, pour in the egg mixture and mostly all the dry ingredients, keeping about ½ cup on the side. With the dough hook attachment, process on speed 2 for 2 minutes. Increase the speed to 3 and add 1 tablespoons of flour mixture until the dough releases from the sides of the bowl. To know when it's done, the texture should be soft, slightly sticking but not enough to stick on fingers and when pressing down on it, the dough bounces it back.
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and form a ball by pulling dough under. Place in a large bowl lightly oil and roll the dough around to coat it with oil as well. Place a clean light dish towel and place the bowl in a draft-free area such as inside the oven (with temperature off) and let it rise for 2 hours or until it double in size.
• Transfer dough back to floured work surface and knead for a couple minutes. Stretch dough into a rounded rectangular shape of 1 foot long by 5-inched wide. Using a bench scrapper, cut it in half then each half in half and finally half again. This recipe makes 8 large hamburger buns but if prefer, it can always be cut in smaller pieces.
• Form a small ball with each piece by pulling dough under. Gently stretch each of them into a flat disc of ½-inch thick and place them onto a large baking sheet lined with silicone mat or parchment paper. Cover them with the same light dish towel and place it back to the oven (temperature off) for a second rise of 1 hour. Make sure the towel is NOT tucked under and place loosely on top otherwise the buns won't rise.
• When time is up, gently remove them from the oven and preheat it to 375ºF. Remove gently the towel and delicately brush an egg wash on each bun - be gentle otherwise they might deflate. Sprinkle sesame seeds over and transfer to preheated oven. Bake for 17 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from the heat and let buns cool off completely before separating them and then slicing them in half crosswise for the burgers.

Steps:

• Stir together the water, dry milk, vegetable shortening, salt and sugar (the shortening will not be dissolved and it doesn't matter).
• Sprinkle the package of yeast over this mixture and let stand for about 5 minutes.
• Add the 1/2 egg and 1/2 to 1 cup of flour.
• Gradually add another 2 cups (approximately) of flour to make a sticky soft dough; knead on a floured surface for one minute (this isn't a particularly easy task), then scrape it back into your bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Add about another 1-1/2 cups flour so dough isn't extremely sticky and knead dough until smooth and elastic.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place (I like to let it sit on top of the clothes dryer), for about another hour and a half.
• Grease a large cookie sheet.
• Divide dough into 8 equal pieces and roll into balls.
• Place dough balls on the greased cookie sheet and flatten each of them with your hand to form a 3 to 3-1/2 inch diameter disk.
• Cover and let them rise another 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Brush tops with a little of the egg white (you won't use it all), then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for about another 5 minutes.
• Remove from sheets and cool on baking racks.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the milk, margarine, warm water, sugar and yeast. Let stand for about 5 minutes.
• Mix in the salt, and gradually stir in the flour until you have a soft dough. Divide into 25 pieces, and form into balls. Place on baking sheets so they are 2 to 3 inches apart. Let rise for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake the rolls for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool slightly, then split them in half horizontally to fill with your favorite burgers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a roasting rack on a foil-lined baking sheet in the oven.
• Using your hands, break the meat into small pieces and combine evenly but loosely on a parchment or waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Spread the meat out and season it generously with salt and pepper. If desired, add the spice mix at this time.
• Divide the meat into 4 portions (about 6 ounces each). Using your hands, form each portion into a ball-shape by gently tossing it from 1 hand to the other. (Don't over work or press too firmly on the meat.) Gently form each portion into a patty about 3 1/2 inches wide and 1-inch-thick.
• Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Raise the heat to high and add the oil. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until well-browned, about 2 minutes each side.
• Using a spatula, transfer the hamburgers to the roasting rack in the oven and continue cooking to desired doneness, 8 to 9 minutes for medium-rare, 10 to 11 minutes for medium, and 13 to 15 minutes for well-done. If you are using the cheese, top the hamburgers during their last couple of minutes of cooking to melt.
• Transfer the hamburgers to a plate, let rest for a couple minutes before serving. Meanwhile, toast the hamburger buns. Assemble the hamburgers with the condiments and toppings of your choice. Serve.
• When cooking on a countertop grill, turn on grill, then place burgers on the heated grill.
• Timing for a countertop grill:
• For Medium-Rare: Cook for 3 minutes covered and then unplug the machine and continue to cook covered for 2 to 3 more minutes.
• For Medium: Cook for 4 minutes covered and then unplug the machine and continue to cook covered for 4 more minutes.
• For Well: Cook for 5 minutes covered and then unplug the machine and continue to cook covered for 5 more minutes.
• Combine all ingredients.

Steps:

• I think the taste and the texture of buns are best when lightly toasted. To toast a bun on a grill, grill pan, or griddle, split the bun open, place it cut side down on the grill, and grill until light golden brown, about 10 seconds. Alternatively, you can place the split bun halves cut side up on a baking sheet and cook them under a preheated broiler until light golden brown, about 30 seconds. Keep a close eye on them and don't let them get too brown or else that texture will take on a life of its own and defeat the purpose of starting with a soft bun.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, evaporated milk, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and garlic using your hands. Form the mixture into 8 hamburger patties.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill patties 5 minutes per side, or until well done.

Steps:

• Place warm water in large warm bowl. Sprinkle in yeast; stir until dissolved.
• Add warm milk, sugar, butter, 1 1/2 tablespoons minced onions (if desired), salt, and 2 cups flour; blend well.
• Stir in 2 eggs & enough remaining flour to make soft dough.
• Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes.
• Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
• Punch dough down. Remove dough to lightly floured surface; divide into 8 equal pieces.
• Form each piece into smooth ball. Place on large greased baking sheet. Flatten balls to 4-inch rounds; cover. Let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 20 to 40 minutes.
• Lightly beat remaining egg; brush on rolls. If desired, sprinkle with minced onions or poppy or sesame seed.
• Bake at 400oF for 10 to 15 minutes or until done. Remove from baking sheet; let cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and butter and heat until the butter is melted, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to 105° to 115°F Add the yeast and stir until the yeast is dissolved. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the 4 cups flour, the sugar and salt and beat on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Add the milk mixture and knead until the dough forms a ball, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to medium-low and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the dough from the mixer bowl, oil the inside of the bowl and return the dough to the bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 10-by-7 1/2-inch rectangle. Using a ruler as a guide, cut the dough into 2 1/2-inch squares. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spacing the buns evenly apart, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 400°F.
• Remove the plastic wrap from the baking sheet. Brush the tops of the buns with the egg mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake until the buns are golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a bun registers 190°F, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer the buns to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cut in half and use as hamburger buns. Makes 12 hamburger buns.
• For slider buns: Follow the instructions above but roll out the dough into a 9-inch square. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares and place on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. Position 1 rack in the upper third of an oven and 1 rack in the lower third and preheat to 400°F Brush the tops of the buns with the egg mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for about 14 minutes, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and 180 degrees halfway through baking. Makes 36 slider buns.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough. , Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 3-5 minutes. Do not let rise. Divide into 12 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place 3 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Preheat oven to 425°., Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Bake until golden brown, 8-12 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Equipment:.
• 1 stand mixer with a paddle and a dough hook a 3 inch round cookie cutter.
• Bring milk to a bare simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and allow to cool to 105 to 115°F.
• Meanwhile, stir together warm water, yeast, and 1/2 tsp sugar in mixer bowl until yeast has dissolved. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast).
• Add butter, warm milk, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar to yeast mixture and mix with paddle at low speed until butter has melted, then mix in eggs until combined well.
• Add salt and four cups of the flour and mix, scraping down bowl as necessary, until flour is incorporated. Beat at medium speed for 1 minute.
• Switch to dough hook and beat in remaining 2 cups flour at medium speed until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 minutes; if necessary add more flour 1 Tablespoon at a time. Beat five minutes more (dough will be sticky.).
• Transfer dough to a large lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm draft free place until doubled, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Butter 2 large baking sheets. Punch down dough, then roll out on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 14 inch round (about 1/2 inch thick). Cut out as many rounds as you can with a floured cutter and arrange 3 inches apart on the baking sheets.
• Gather scraps, re-roll, and then cut out more rounds.
• Loosely cover buns with oiled plastic wrap and allow to rise in a draft free place until they hold a finger mark when gently poked, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
• Mix egg and water for egg wash.
• Brush buns with egg wash and bake, switching pans halfway through baking, until tops are golden and the bottoms are golden brown and they sound hollow when tapped, 14 to 20 minutes.
• Buns can be frozen, wrapped well, for about a month.
• Cooks Notes: If you don't have a stand mixer, stir ingredients together in same sequence with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Knead dough on a floured surface, incorporating just enough flour to keep dough from sticking, until dough is smooth and elastic, 7 to 8 minutes.

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.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients, except butter, in pan of bread machine according to manufacturer's directions.
• Select dough setting.
• When cycle is complete, turn out onto floured surface.
• Cut dough in half and roll each half out to a 1" thick circle.
• Cut each half into six 3 1/2" rounds with inverted glass as a cutter.
• Place on greased baking sheet far apart and brush with melted butter.
• Cover and let rise until doubled, about one hour.
• Bake at 350° for 9 minutes.
• Note: Oven temperatures vary so check after 9 minutes to see if done. Some reviewers baked these anywhere from 12 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Mix meats, steak sauce, egg yolks, salt and pepper with fork (do not over-work).
• Form mixture into 12 balls.
• Put a thin slice of butter in the middle of each ball, then flatten into patties (make sure butter is completely surrounded by meat).
• Cook for 3-5 minutes per side until done.
• Remove to plate, cover with foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
