I’ve slowly started increasing my repertoire of homemade bread and this hamburger bun recipe was definitely a winner. I’ve made it a few times now and each time it’s turned out really well. Luke even suggested that I just use it as a roll recipe from now on. Recipe and photo courtesy of allrecipes.com.

• 2 teaspoons instant yeast
• 4 cups
• 1 cup warm water (105 degrees F)
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon milk

Combine all ingredients in the bowl of your stand mixer and mix on medium speed for 6 minutes. After the dough has been kneaded, place a teaspoon of olive oil in a bowl and put your dough in the bowl, making sure to cover all sides of the dough with the oil. Cover and proof for an hour or two, or until the dough has doubled in size.

Once the dough has doubled, punch down and then shape into 8 buns. If you are using this as a roll recipe you can make the dough balls smaller. Proof for another 30 minutes while your oven preheats to 375. Bake for 15-17 or until nicely golden brown. Let cool for 5- 10 minutes before slicing.
