Ingredients

1 CUP WATER (I USE LUKEWARM)
1 EGG, SLIGHTLY BEATEN
3 CUPS BREAD FLOUR (OR 1 CUP ALL PURPOSE AND 2 CUPS WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR)
3/4 TEASPOON SALT
1/4 CUP SUGAR
1/4 CUP CRISCO (SOLID)
1 PKG YEAST

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.
