Hamburgerhot Dog Buns For A Crowd Recipes

HAMBURGER BUNS, HOTDOG BUNS, OR DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Note: I gave up trying to put in weights in addition to volumes in the ingredients section. Water is 296g. Flour is 544g.
• In bread machine pan combine the warm water, oil, yeast, and sugar, mixing to dissolve.
• Allow yeast mixture to bloom for 10 minutes.
• Add egg, flour and salt to bread machine pan.
• Set bread machine to dough cycle and allow to run full cycle. (this is for 2 lb bread machine, if using a smaller bread machine then remove after kneading and allow to rise in a lightly covered bowl). Half way through the kneading cycle check your dough and if necessary add either water or flour 1 tablespoon at a time to adjust consistency. This can vary due to brand of flour or humidity.
• Coat your hands with flour and shake off the excess.
• Transfer the dough from the bread machine pan (or bowl if you are using a smaller bread machine) to a lightly floured dough board.
• Knead dough 6 or 8 times, folding over and turning a ¼ turn each time.
• With bench knife (or other knife) cut dough into 12 - 32 pieces, depending on what you are making.
• Shape dough into balls (or cylinders for hotdog buns) and place on sheet pan (I use a 16" pizza pan) lined with parchment.
• Loosely cover dough and let rise until ripe (30 minutes to 1 hr plus depending on temperature and the age of your yeast). Dough is ripe when approximately doubled or when you can press your index finger up to the first joint and it leaves an indention.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Just before putting in oven, brush the buns with half of the melted butter.
• For a variation brush with egg white instead of butter and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.
• Bake until golden brown, 18 to 25 minutes (my oven takes 21 minutes).
• Take the buns from the oven and brush them with the remaining melted butter.
• Slide the buns off the baking sheet onto a wire cooling rack rack and cool completely.

BURGER OR HOT DOG BUNS

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.

BONNIE'S 30-MINUTE HOT DOG OR HAMBURGER BUNS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Assemble all the ingredients. Use exact measurements. Do not substitute ingredients and follow the recipe exactly and you will have buns like hotdog buns in my photo!
• 2. Rinse a large mixing bowl with hot water to warm it up. Add warm water, oil, sugar and the yeast. Set the timer for 15 minutes.
• 3. While you are waiting for the yeast to work, measure your flour and add the one teaspoon of salt to the flour and mix well. Beat the egg.
• 4. After the 15 minutes is up and the yeast has had a chance to work, add egg and the bread flour a little at a time to the yeast mixture with a whisk until it starts to get thick, and then trade your whisk for a wooden spoon and finish adding the rest of the flour or as much as needed to make a dough you can roll. It will be a nice tender dough.
• 5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board. Roll to about 3/4 inch thick and cut out with a 4 inch glass or a clean can. Transfer the cut out dough to the parchment paper. If you want hotdog buns, turn the sides down and under to overlap and lay on the parchment paper. If you want hamburger buns, use the entire circle and place it on the parchment paper.
• 6. Brush tops of buns with the melted butter. Dont' skip this step because it makes them like store bought buns!
• 7. Let buns rise in the oven with the light on for about ten minutes. Then pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees and bake buns 10 minutes. (for inexperienced bakers: you DO remove the buns from the oven before you preheat the oven!) Enjoy!
• 8. Cook's Tip: These buns freeze really well for later use.
