BURGER OR HOT DOG BUNS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, heat milk, water and butter until very warm, 120 degrees F (50 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, mix together 1 3/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Mix milk mixture into flour mixture, and then mix in egg. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
• Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into smooth balls, and place on a greased baking sheet. Flatten slightly. Cover, and let rise for 30 to 35 minutes.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
• For Hot Dog Buns: Shape each piece into a 6x4 inch rectangle. Starting with the longer side, roll up tightly, and pinch edges and ends to seal. Let rise about 20 to 25 minutes. Bake as above. These buns are pretty big. I usually make 16 instead of 12.

• Wipe out stand mixer bowl, drizzle olive oil into the bowl, and turn dough over in the bowl several times to coat surface thinly with oil. Cover bowl with aluminum foil. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.

BONNIE'S 30-MINUTE HOT DOG OR HAMBURGER BUNS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Assemble all the ingredients. Use exact measurements. Do not substitute ingredients and follow the recipe exactly and you will have buns like hotdog buns in my photo!
• 2. Rinse a large mixing bowl with hot water to warm it up. Add warm water, oil, sugar and the yeast. Set the timer for 15 minutes.
• 3. While you are waiting for the yeast to work, measure your flour and add the one teaspoon of salt to the flour and mix well. Beat the egg.
• 4. After the 15 minutes is up and the yeast has had a chance to work, add egg and the bread flour a little at a time to the yeast mixture with a whisk until it starts to get thick, and then trade your whisk for a wooden spoon and finish adding the rest of the flour or as much as needed to make a dough you can roll. It will be a nice tender dough.
• 5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board. Roll to about 3/4 inch thick and cut out with a 4 inch glass or a clean can. Transfer the cut out dough to the parchment paper. If you want hotdog buns, turn the sides down and under to overlap and lay on the parchment paper. If you want hamburger buns, use the entire circle and place it on the parchment paper.
• 6. Brush tops of buns with the melted butter. Dont' skip this step because it makes them like store bought buns!
• 7. Let buns rise in the oven with the light on for about ten minutes. Then pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees and bake buns 10 minutes. (for inexperienced bakers: you DO remove the buns from the oven before you preheat the oven!) Enjoy!
• 8. Cook's Tip: These buns freeze really well for later use.

HAMBURGER/HOT DOG BUNS - BREAD MACHINE RECIPE

Steps:

• PLACE ALL INGREDIENTS IN BREAD PAN; SELECT DOUGH SETTING AND PRESS START. WHEN DOUGH HAS RISEN LONG ENOUGH, THE MACHINE WILL BEEP. TURN OFF MACHINE AND REMOVE BREAD PAN, AND TURN OUT DOUGH ONTO A FLOURED COUNTERTOP OR CUTTING BOARD. GENTLY ROLL AND DIVIDE DOUGH INTO 8 EQUAL PIECES FOR HAMBURGER BUNS OR 12 HOT DOG BUNS. GREASE A BAKING SHEET AND PUT DOUGH PIECES ON SHEET ( I USE TWO SHEETS). COVER AND LET RISE BEFORE BAKING IN 400 DEGREE OVEN. I ACTUALLY REMOVE THE DOUGH FROM THE BREAD MACHINE AND PUT IN A GREASED BOWL, COVER AND LET RISE AGAIN. THEN I POUR OUT ON A FLOURED BOARD AND SEPARATE INTO 8 ROUND PIECES FOR HAMBURGER BUNS OR 12 PIECES OBLONG SHAPED FOR HOT DOG BUNS. I PLACE ON GREASED SHEET PANS AND LET RISE IN WARM PLACE AND THEN BAKE IN 375 DEGREE OVEN. WHEN THEY COME OUT OF THE OVER AND TAKE A STICK OF BUTTER AND ROLL OVER THE TOPS TO MAKE THEM SHINY AND TASTIER. JUST SLICE WHEN READY TO USE. I SOMETIME BUTTER AND TOAST THEM JUST BEFORE USING THEM. IF YOUR MACHINE DOES NOT HAVE A REGULAR DOUGH SETTING, JUST ADD THE INGREDIENTS AND LET IT MIX UNTIL THE BEEP AND SHUT OFF THE MACHINE AND TAKE OUT THE DOUGH AT THAT POINT.. IT DOES NOT TAKE LONG FOR EITHER RISING PERIODS. I MAKE ONE BATCH FOR HAMBURGER BUNS AND WHEN I TAKE THEM OUT OF THE MACHINE AND PUT THEM IN A GREASED BOWL TO RISE, I MAKE ANOTHER BATCH FOR HOT DOG BUNS. BY THE TIME THE HOT DOG BUNS ARE READY TO TAKE OUT OF BREAD MACHINE AND PUT IN A GREASED BOWL, IT IS TIME TO TAKE THE HB BUNS OUT OF THE BOWL AND MAKE INTO THE BUNS TO RISE. WHEN THE HOT DOG BUNS ARE READY TO POUR OUT OF THE BOWL FROM RISING, THE HB BUNS ARE READY TO STICK INTO OVEN. THEY BAKE WHILE THE HOT DOG BUNS ARE RISING. TO GET EIGHT EVEN PIECES I DIVIDE THE DOUGH IN HALF, THEN IN HALF AGAIN TO MAKE FOUR. THEN I DIVIDE EACH OF THE FOUR IN HALF AGAIN TO MAKE EIGHT. DOG BUNS ARE RISING ON THEIR SHEETS.

CHINESE BAKERY STYLE HOT DOG BUNS RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• In a stand mixer bowl, stir together the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add in 1 of the lightly beaten eggs and the milk, stirring until it starts to come together. Attach the bowl to the stand mixer. Using the dough hook attachment, knead on medium-low speed (#4 on my KitchenAid) for 5 minutes. Add the softened butter and knead another 3 minutes or until the butter has been completely and thoroughly absorbed into the dough. The dough should feel smooth, satiny, and not sticky. If it's sticky, add more flour in tablespoon increments until you reach the right texture. The dough should pass the windowpane test (you can stretch it out very thinly without it breaking). Knead until it does. Spray a good size bowl with cooking spray. Take the dough out of the mixing bowl and form into a ball, pulling the sides down so that it becomes taut. Place the ball of dough in the greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm area for about 90 minutes, until about doubled in size. Take the dough out of the bowl and divide into 8 equal pieces, about 72g each (deflating the dough is fine). To form the braided rolls, roll out one of the pieces into a rectangle, with the longer side about the length of your hot dogs. Slash both sides of the rectangle into about 7 strips, without actually cutting through to the other side. Spread shredded cheese down the center if you wish, then place the hot dog on top. To seal, fold the strips down in an alternating pattern. To form the poofy rolls, roll out one of the dough pieces between your hands until it's about 2 to 2 1/2 times the length of the hot dog. If you want the center to be bigger than the ends, make sure you roll your dough accordingly, so that the middle of your long piece of dough is bulkier than the ends. Wrap the length of dough around a hot dog; it should be enough to make 3 loops, with the tapered ends at the bottom of the hot dog. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the shaped buns on the paper, leaving enough room in between each for the dough to have a place to go while it's rising. Cover the buns loosely with plastic wrap or a clean cloth (you don't want to ruin the rise by having to peel anything off them). Let the dough rise again for another 90 minutes or so, until it's about doubled in volume and look nicely plump. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F. When the buns have risen, gently brush egg wash (the remaining egg) generously onto each, making sure to get the sides as well, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top, if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 5-8 minutes, until the buns are an attractive golden brown.
