i just bought the book, and i had to try these, because of all the great reviews. i used active dry yeast, which i proofed with the 1 cup of water, slightly warmed. then i just proceed on from there. i did have to use more flour than specified (humid singapore weather); i weighed it -about 14 1/2 ounce. try not to omit the onion powder (1 tsp), it gives a wonderful taste to these. i made them into 10 mini pig-in-blankets, and 6 cheddar rolls (rolled small pcs of dough around cubed cheese & topped with bits of cheese) and 1 mini cinnamon raisin loaf. totally yummy. the dough is quite sticky to work with.

Well worth the effort! I used my breadmaker to prepare the dough which ended up being a little messy as the dough rose too well - so be warned! 8 decent sized buns is the yield and they baked very well and tasted very good. Definitely worth trying if you are doing the homemade burger thing.

This recipe is also known as Moomie's Beautiful Burger Buns - I have no idea why, but that's how it was passed onto me. It's a great recipe, and dead easy to do. The buns are very soft and light. I've also made this dough into a loaf, with excellent results. I omit the onion powder and flakes when I make it a loaf.

I made these rolls yesterday and loved them,being in England i did worry about the measurements but with a bit of help from the message board with the conversions on i got there.If it helps anybody else in the same situation i used 455g of strong bread flour,30g of butter,35g sugar.I put all the ingredients in my breadmaker on dough cycle so it did all the hard work,and then shaped them into balls and placed close together on my round pampered chef stone and left to rise for an hour whilst i went to work,popped in the oven to bake.Everyone loved them,had them with crisp chicken burgers with lemon mayo.My son took the leftovers for school lunch today thanks for the recipe.

The dough is very easy to work with. I used milk instead of water to add flavor to the bread. I also used 1 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder. I also brush them with an egg an sprinkle on top some sesame seeds. The dough baked up nice and soft and very delicious. A keeper.

Definitely 5+ stars. The texture of these buns are fantastic.I don't think I will go back to store bought burger buns. These were very easy to make. I warmed the water and the butter in the microwave to lukewarm and mixed the egg into this before adding to the dry ingredients. I used the onion powder in the batter. Thanks for the great recipe.

Easy, fast recipe. I usually make the overnight bun recipe. This is now my favorite bun recipe. The buns are large with beautiful texture. My son loved them for a french dip. I definately will make them again. Scrumptious!!!

I too used the whole wheat flour, and they came out so good! We used them in a variety of ways including burgers, tuna sandwiches and grilled cheese and tomatoe sandwiches, flipped inside out and buttered, then toasted in my favorite frying pan till the cheese was dripping down the side of the roll and melted! Awesome rolls and a recipe I will be making again very soon. So much better than store bought, and using the whole wheat flour so much healthier too! Thank you!

worked well. I added fresh onions instead of dried, and it was tasty.
