Breadmaker Hamburger Buns

MR - A year or so ago, I pinned this pin for homemade hamburger buns.  It is a HUGE recipe, and it is  made by hand.  Since we have a breadmaker, I prefer to make my dough in there, so I adjusted the recipe to make fewer, and to work in a bread maker.

I love this recipe - it's so versatile, it tastes great, and it's quick to make.  I find that hamburger buns are getting SO expensive these days.


Recipe
In your bread pail, combine the following ingredients:
1 3/4c. warm water
2 Tbsp. yeast
1/4 c. olive oil
1/4 c. honey
1/2 T. salt
1 egg, beaten
5 1/4 c. flour (any combination of white and whole wheat).  We like half and half, but this batch here was only white  - all we had on hand.

Allow the breadmaker to run on the dough cycle.  When finished, roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. I do it in two batches.  Cut out circles using a large glass (experiment with the best size for you).




Place on greased cookie sheets, and allow to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes.  Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes.

So good, and so easy!  Again, head over here to Raising Olives for the original recipe.

  1. How much yeast did you use? Looks like a great recipe.

  2. We have been through about 7 breadmakers in the past 11 years. We use them every two days or so for a loaf of bread, and pizza dough every weekend (so we wear out the motor in a year or so). I find the homemade bread is more filling for everyone than the storebought stuff. We definitely save money too. I usually buy the bread makers for about 15-30 dollars at Value Village or Kijiji.
