Hamburger or Sandwich Buns or Hot Dog Buns

Recipe #94993 | 3½ hours | 3 hours prep | add private note

What a hamburger bun should be. Substantial enough to handle a big burger with lots of toppings and yet have an excellent flavor all of its own. This is more like the kind of bun you'd get with a gourmet hamburger in a restaurant. If you are looking for one like grocery store buns, light and fluffy, these aren't what you are looking for. (And yes, it really does call for 1 cup of oil)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Dissolve yeast in water with a pinch of sugar.
  2. 2
    Mix in with other ingredients.
  3. 3
    Knead for 10 minutes on a floured surface.
  4. 4
    Let rise until doubled in bulk (about 45 minutes).
  5. 5
    Punch down and let rise again.
  6. 6
    Punch down and form into bun shapes (hamburger or hot dog).
  7. 7
    Make them on the small side as they do raise a little more when you bake them.
  8. 8
    Let rise until double.
  9. 9
    Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
  10. 10
    Let cool until just warm to the touch; place in a sealed bag to soften crust.
  11. 11
    Makes 16-20 hamburger rolls.
  12. 12
    NOTE: I usually cut this in half.
  13. 13
    Double wrap and freeze any remaining ones.

Wonderful! Terrific! Amazing! I don't generally like cold bread, but these were even GREAT the next morning, straight out of the refrigerator! I needed to use OVER EIGHT CUPS of flour, but we've recently had snow melting and I had to add extra flour to all my recipes this week... so, I think that's an environmental thing.

    You won't believe how great these are and I made them in half the time stated.I used rapid rise yeast and they were hot and on the table in no time.We had italian sausage on fresh hot dog buns with poppy seeds on them,I got 9 big hot dog and 3 huge hamburger buns.We are having cheeseburgers on the latter tonite. These are awesome and so very easy to do.The taste and texture are great.I will never buy the store bought ones again.My buns turned out just like the ones in the picture,they are very pretty.I did the egg wash and seeds and that made them shiny.My bf said this has made him decide to take me shopping for a bread machine,we are going in the morning.He wants home-made rye bread and I found a recipe here that sounds great.I would like to but I can't give you anymore than 5 stars. I can say thank you Marg for posting such a great recipe and everyone needs to try it.Won't regret it.

    Marg, you've done it again ... posted a super-duper recipe! These hamburger buns are out of this world good! My Gosh, they're so soft, yet the outside is hardy enough for a good ole juicy burger! YUM! I made the whole recipe, so I have a nice stash in the freezer! Last night's supper was Italian Sausage Sandwiches, and tonight is Burger night! Can't wait! Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe ... It's the best! Laudee
