CDKitchen's Best Hamburger or Hot Dog Buns

- #13820
If you're putting in the work to make some top-notch burgers or franks, don't settle for basic store-bought buns. These fresh, fluffy buns are much more deserving of your gourmet grilled creations.

ingredients
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons shortening (or butter)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
3 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons dry milk powder
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
OR
1 1/2 teaspoon fast rise yeast (bread machine)
directions
Add all ingredients to pan in order suggested machine manufacturer. Select "Dough/Manual" bread setting.
When cycle is complete, remove dough to a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Form each piece into smooth ball. Place on large greased baking sheet.
Hamburger Buns: Flatten balls into 4-inch rounds; cover.
Hot Dog Buns: Gently roll balls into a 6-inch rope; cover.
Let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, 20 to 30 minutes. Lightly beat egg white and 1 tablespoon water. Brush on buns. Sprinkle with sesame seed if desired. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12 to 15 minutes or until done. Makes 8 buns.
You can easily make these smaller for dinner rolls or for whatever size you need. This is a delicious, moist bun.
For a really soft crust, skip the egg white and brush the tops of the buns with milk 3/4ths of the way thru baking.
This is a tried and true recipe - I make it whenever I need buns -valerie, CDKitchen.com

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Wow! These are good. I'm very impressed.
This recipe looks interesting and I would like to try it, but I don't own a bread machine. Any suggestions on how I would make this recipe without a bread machine? Thanks!
You should be able to follow the method for one of our other bread or bun recipes that don't use a bread machine. It's just the kneading/rising steps that you'll need to follow.
