Whole Wheat Hamburger and Hot Dog Buns (Bread Machine)

Recipe #169916 | 2¼ hours | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Engineer in the Kitchen
May 26, 2006

This is from Bread Machine Magic. The best bun we ever had. When barbecuing, I usually divide the dough in half and make 4 burger buns and 6 hot dog buns.

SERVES 12 , 12 buns (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Place all ingredients in bread pan, select Dough setting, and press Start. (Vital Wheat Gluten is optional but the bread will rise higher with it.).
  2. 2
    When dough has risen enough, the machine will beep. Remove bread pan, and turn out dough onto a floured countertop. Gently roll and shape the dough into a 12-inch rope.
  3. 3
    With a sharp knife, divide dough into 8 pieces for hamburger buns or 12 pieces for hot dog buns.
  4. 4
    Grease a baking sheet. Roll pieces of dough into balls and flatten for hamburger buns or shape into 6-inch rolls for hot dog buns. Place on prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise in warm oven 10 to 15 minutes until almost doubled.
  5. 5
    Preheat oven to 400°F Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown (be careful mine cook pretty fast). Remove from oven and cool on racks. When ready to use, split buns horizontally. These will keep in plastic bag in the freezer for 3 to 4 weeks.

Excellent recipe! I used 3 cups whole wheat flower and omitted the all purpose flower. They turn out perfect every time!

    These are wonderful! I used 3 TBS butter instead of shortening. I might have to try to go half and half on the wheat and white flours next time. These are great with Pulled Pork (Crock Pot)!!! Thanks!

    I thought I had a good bun recipe before, I was wrong! But I do now! This is the perfect recipe! The dough is easy to work with and shape, and they come out with a beautiful texture. I have made both hamburger and hot dog buns with them. Only changes I make are I use canola oil instead of shortening, I don't use the gluten, and I do 1 1/2 cups each of all-purpose and whole-wheat flours. They take exactly 8 minutes in my oven.

    Excellent- I cannot give this enough stars! The taste was amazing, the texture was fantastic. This is a definite keeper for sure- DH was amazed by these! Thanks for posting! ETA: DH raved about these so much that I decided to try making it into a sandwich bread- I threw the risen dough into a greased loaf pan, let rise the 15 min, then baked at 375 for about 40 minutes- perfect!
