Would you believe??? The workers at the local flour factory have gone on strike---want 15% wage increase but the bosses will only negotiate 6%!!! SOOOOO--no flour for the bakeries---SOOOOO NO FRESH hamburger rolls (the most favorite bread roll for my tomato and/or cucumber sandwiches on a BUSY day!!! SOOOO--
I made these wonderful hamburger buns today---so quick and easy. Started at 9:00 a.m. and was ready for lunch at 12:30--completely!! "smile:
Recipe:
Moomie's Famous Beautiful Burger/Sandwich Buns
1 cup water
2 T butter or margarine
1 egg
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 t. salt
1 T instant yeast
Add 1 T yeast and a pinch of sugar to 1/4 cup lukewarm water (100-105 degrees). Let sit 5 minutes until yeast is dissolved and bubbly. While you are waiting melt 2 T. butter. In separate bowl, whisk egg lightly, add remaining 3/4 cup water and the melted butter. When yeast mixture has bloomed add water mixture and stir. Put in a large mixer bowl (I have a KitcehnAid) fitted with a dough hook.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar. With mixer on lowest setting, start adding flour/sugar mixture slowly until it is incorporated. Turn mixture up to setting 2 and let it knead for 10 minutes--the dough will look smooth and will be clinging to the hook. Add 1 tsp salt during the last minute of kneading. Lightly flour a flat surface, remove dough from mixer and lightly knead for 1-2 minutes. Shape into a ball and place into a greased bowl in a warm spot, covered for 1 hour. Shape into 8 buns and place onto greased cookie sheet, cover and let rise for 30-40 minutes. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 12-15 minures until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
I don't think I will EVER purchase hamburger rolls again---these are very good, tasty and the texture is much better than the air that one usually gets. If you are in a pinch--or just like to bake--or maybe even curious---try this recipe--you will not be disappointed.
I downloaded this from another forum many moons ago and it came in handy today---Contessa's Kitchen is the forum.
