Hot Dog/ hamburger buns

Step 1

Mill The Flour.

Step 2

Heat water & butter in microwave for about 60 seconds.

Step 3

Pour warmed butter/water mixture into a stand mixing bowl. Add sugar, egg, and salt, then mix until combined.

Step 4

Then add the flour and mix until incorporated, and no dry flour is left. This will appear to be a sticky dough at this stage.

Step 5

Cover the bowl, and let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the fresh milled flour to absorb the liquids.

Step 6

After the dough rests, add in the yeast, and mix in.

Step 7

Knead dough until it passes the window pane test. (See my video about the window pane test with any issues.)

Step 8

Spray dough with oil & cover for about 1 hour, until dough has doubled.

Step 9

On an oiled surface divide dough into 12 equal pieces.

Step 10

*Hamburger Bun Style- Roll each dough ball into a sphere shape, making sure to gently pull some surface tension onto the top of the dough ball. Then flatten with your hand to make it into a disk shape. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and repeat this with the rest of the hamburger/sandwich buns.

Step 11

*Hot Dog Buns Style- Flatten each piece and roll it up longwise, then pinch the ends. Roll each dough stick until about 5 to 6 inches long. Place, seam side down on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, and repeat this with the rest of the hot dog buns.

Step 12

Cover and let rise for 30-40 minutes, until they look smooth and puffy.

Step 13

Preheat the oven to 350*F towards the end of this second rise.

Step 14

Bake Buns for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature of the buns reach 190*F.

Step 15

This recipe can be doubled to make 24 buns.

Step 16

These Buns can be frozen for later use. Just make sure they have cooled completely, then put them in a freezer safe container. Pull them out on the counter a couple hours before you want to use them to thaw.
