Best {burger} Buns in Town
Serves: 6-8 large buns or 12 smaller rolls
- 2 tablespoons yeast, active dry, prefer Fleischmann's
- 1 cup plus ⅛ cup (2 tablespoons) tablespoons hot water
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 plus ½ teaspoons salt
- 3 plus ½ to 4 cups flour, I prefer half bread flour / half all-purpose, but you can use any
- Preheat oven to 425 F.
- Combine yeast, hot water, oil and sugar in a mixer bowl. Stir to combine.
- Allow yeast mixture to rest for about 5 minutes, until bubbles form.
- Mix in egg, salt and most of the flour. Add in remaining flour as needed until mixing dough forms a soft ball.
- Knead on lightly floured counter or mix with dough hook for 3-4 minutes.
- Immediately remove dough from mixer and cut/form into sized balls on lightly floured surface. Remember, these will almost double when baked.
- Place pieces on paper lined baking sheet and cover. Let rise for 10-15 minutes.
- Place in pre-heated oven and bake until golden, about 10-15 minutes.

Note: These buns are fairly dense. Can be enjoyed as buns or on their own as excellent side rolls. Try them toasted with garlic butter or jam!
