I happened upon a recipe for homemade hamburger buns a few weeks ago and thought today would be a great day to try my hand at them. The recipe was found on Hand Made With Love's blog.
2 c. warm water
5 Tblsp. sugar
1 1/2 Tblsp. yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c oil
5-6 c. flour
1 beaten egg white
1 Tblsp. water
sesame seeds or dried onion flakes
Combine the water, sugar, yeast, salt and oil in a mixing bowl. Add in flour, a cup at a time, until its a nice bread dough that doesn’t stick to the sides.
Transfer to a clean counter top or bread kneading board that has been dusted lightly with flour to keep dough from sticking. Knead for 10 minutes.
Grease a separate bowl to transfer dough once kneaded. Turn once to coat both sides of dough with oil. Cover and let rise until doubled in size.
Punch down and knead the air bubbles out. Divide into 12 pieces for hamburgers or 18 pieces for hot dogs or brats. Roll between hands into correct shapes.
Place on greased cookie sheet for 20 minutes to let rise (hot dog rolls should be squished together so they rise UP and not just out.)
Carefully brush with mixture of egg white and water and sprinkle with seeds or flakes if desired (flakes are excellent for hamburgers.)
Bake at 400* for 20 minutes or until nicely browned. Let cool 5 minutes and then break apart and move to a cooling rack so the bottoms don’t get soggy.
Hubby was sure happy with his dinner tonight. He grilled our beef patties and boy were they tasty and juicy. Doesn't that picture just make your mouth water!?! *grin*

I tried this recipe the other night for burgers for my husband, they were delicious! Such a great flavor and nice texture too. I added sesame seeds to the top of mine and it was really good. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
