Homemade Hamburger Buns

I never thought I would be making my own hamburger buns. 

When I saw this recipe I thought I would give it a try, just once, just for fun. 

Now I am hooked. 

They are so good, I don't think I can eat a burger (or sloppy joe's or a sandwich) at home without one! 

40-minute Homemade Hamburger Buns 

recipe from Finding Joy in My Kitchen 

Ingredients 

1 1/2 tbsp yeast 

1 cup + 1 tbsp warm water 

1/3 cup oil 

1/4 cup sugar 

1 tsp salt 

3 cups white whole wheat flour 

Directions 

 Combine the yeast and water and let stand for about 5 minutes until foamy.  

Then add in the oil, sugar, and salt. 

Add the flour, one cup at a time, stirring until all mixed in. 

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes or until dough is easy to work with. 

I like to stretch the dough out like below and then cut it into 10 even pieces. 

Make the pieces as round as possible and then place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. 

Cover with a towel and let stand in a warm place for about 20 minutes. 

If I have more time, I allow to rise for about 30-40 minutes but 20  minutes works out fine. 

Bake at 425 for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. 

Grill up some burgers or make some Sloppy Joe's and eat up!
