Burger or Hot Dog Buns Submitted by: Sally
Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) packet fast rise yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 egg
Directions:
Combine 1 3/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well.
Heat milk, water and butter or margarine until very warm (120-130 degrees F). Add to flour mixture.
Add egg, mix well. Gradually add enough flour to make a firm dough.
Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover, let rise about 30-35 minutes.
Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into smooth balls and place on
greased cookie sheet.
Flatten slightly. Cover and let rise (about 20-25 minutes).
Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 10-12 minutes or until golden
brown. Remove from cookie sheets, cool.
For Hot Dog Buns:
Shape each piece into a 6x4 inch rectangle. Starting with the longer
side, roll up tightly and pinch edges and ends to seal.
Let rise (about 20-25 minutes). Bake as above.
