Hamburger Buns

These are so easy and delicious you will never want to eat those horrible hamburger buns from the store again. This recipe is very versatile as well. You can exchange 1 cup of bread flour for Whole Wheat flour and increase your protein and your fiber. You can shape into log shaped rolls for hot dog buns as well. Make those about 5 to 6 inches in length.

2 Tbls yeast
1 cup plus 2 Tbls warm water (110-115 degrees)
1/3 c vegetable oil
1/4 c sugar or honey
1 egg
1 tsp salt
3 to 3-1/2 c flour (I use bread flour)

Dissolve yeast in warm water (about 5 min). Add oil and sugar/honey. Let stand 5 minutes. Add egg, salt and flour to make a soft dough. 
Turn onto floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (3 to 5 min). Do not let rise. Divide into 12 pieces (about the size of a walnut – 2 oz).
Shape into a ball. Place on greased baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Cover and let rest 10 min. 

Bake 425 degrees 8 to 12 min. Remove to rack to cool or serve warm with dinner as a dinner roll. Slice in half for hamburger buns.
