Easy Hamburger Or Hot Dog Buns Food

A QUICK AND EASY HOT DOG BUNS RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix the yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and warm milk and leave to proof-about 5 minutes.
• Combine two and a half cups of flour, the remaining sugar, and salt. Mix well.
• Add the proofed yeast, one egg, and melted butter, and use a sturdy spoon to mix until everything comes together in a rough, shaggy mass of dough.
• Cover with a plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and leave to rest for five minutes.
• Remove the lid, turn the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead, gradually adding the leftover quarter cup of flour - your dough will still be soft, but don't be tempted to add more flour.
• Return the dough to the bowl and grease the surface with a bit of oil or melted butter, cover with a plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid, and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
• Punch down the dough to remove any trapped air and transfer it back to a lightly floured work surface.
• Divide the dough into eight pieces, roll each out about 6 inches long, and pinch down the sides and ends.
• Place the buns, seam-side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Make the egg wash by whisking one egg, then brush the buns with the egg wash.
• Cover the loaves and leave them to rise for 15minutes. They should become nicely puffy.
• Place in a 350F preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

HAMBURGER OR SANDWICH BUNS OR HOT DOG BUNS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in water with a pinch of sugar.
• Mix in with other ingredients.
• Knead for 10 minutes on a floured surface.
• Let rise until doubled in bulk (about 45 minutes).
• Punch down and let rise again.
• Punch down and form into bun shapes (hamburger or hot dog).
• Make them on the small side as they do raise a little more when you bake them.
• Let rise until double.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
• Let cool until just warm to the touch; place in a sealed bag to soften crust.
• Makes 16-20 hamburger rolls.
• NOTE: I usually cut this in half.
• Double wrap and freeze any remaining ones.

WHOLE WHEAT HAMBURGER AND HOT DOG BUNS (BREAD MACHINE)

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in bread pan, select Dough setting, and press Start. (Vital Wheat Gluten is optional but the bread will rise higher with it.).
• When dough has risen enough, the machine will beep. Remove bread pan, and turn out dough onto a floured countertop. Gently roll and shape the dough into a 12-inch rope.
• With a sharp knife, divide dough into 8 pieces for hamburger buns or 12 pieces for hot dog buns.
• Grease a baking sheet. Roll pieces of dough into balls and flatten for hamburger buns or shape into 6-inch rolls for hot dog buns. Place on prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise in warm oven 10 to 15 minutes until almost doubled.
• Preheat oven to 400°F Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown (be careful mine cook pretty fast). Remove from oven and cool on racks. When ready to use, split buns horizontally. These will keep in plastic bag in the freezer for 3 to 4 weeks.

CHEF JOHN'S HOT DOG BUNS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
• Place yeast into bowl of a large stand mixer; whisk 1/2 cup flour and water into yeast until mixture is smooth. Let stand until mixture is foamy, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Whisk egg, 3 tablespoons melted butter, sugar, and salt into yeast mixture; add remaining flour and stir.
• Fit a dough hook onto stand mixer and knead the dough on low speed until soft and sticky, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape sides if needed. Poke and prod the dough with a silicone spatula; if large amounts of dough stick to the spatula, add a little more flour.
• Transfer dough onto a floured work surface; dough will be sticky and elastic but not stick to your fingers. Form the dough lightly into a smooth, round shape, gently tucking loose ends underneath.
• Wipe out stand mixer bowl, drizzle olive oil into the bowl, and turn dough over in the bowl several times to coat surface thinly with oil. Cover bowl with aluminum foil. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Transfer dough to a floured work surface and form into a 5x10-inch rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut dough into 8 equal lengths. Turn each slice cut-side up and form into a hot dog bun shape about 5 inches long. Transfer dough, cut-sides up, to the prepared baking sheet about set them about 1/4-inch apart.
• Cut a slit about 1/8-inch deep down the center of each bun. Brush 2 tablespoons melted butter over the top and sides of each bun. Let rise until almost doubled in size and the buns have risen into each other, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake buns in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Brush tops with remaining melted butter.

• Select 'dough' cycle.
• Allow cycle to run.
• Dump out onto lightly floured surface. Divide into 8-10 pieces(I make 8 hamburger,10 hot dog).
• Shape each piece into a hot dog or hamburger bun.
• Place on greased cookie sheets (or bun pans), cover; let rise 30 to 40 minutes.
• Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden.

EASY GOOD HOMEMADE HOT DOG BUNS

Steps:

• The night before, tightly wrap 1 frozen loaf bread dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Next morning, unwrap and cut loaf lengthwise down center.
• Cut each long piece into 3 equal sections making 6 equal pieces total.
• Pinch cut edges together so buns will eventually come out smooth, and roll into small ropes. *They should be about the size of a cooked hotdog.
• Place on greased cookie sheet.
• Brush with half the melted butter.
• Cover lightly with plastic wrap, sealing the edges of the plastic wrap to the cookie sheet so that no air gets inside.
• Let rise in warm place til doubled. (Mine took about 2 1/2 hours.).
• Lightly brush each with rest of melted butter and sprinkle with poppy seeds if desired.
• Bake in 350º oven for about 20 minutes til golden brown. You may want to turn your cookie sheet around half-way through baking for even browning of your buns.
• Cool on wire rack for about 5-10 minutes.
• Cut open with SHARP serrated knife.

SOFT BURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Put the milk, butter and 100ml water in a pan and gently heat until the butter is melted. Set aside to cool until just warm.
• Tip the flour, sugar, yeast and 1 tsp salt into a large bowl and gradually work in the milk mixture, then the egg, until you have a smooth dough. Tip the dough onto a floured surface or into a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead until elastic and shiny. Divide into 12 (about 80g each) pieces and roll into tight balls. Transfer to baking trays lined with baking parchment, leaving plenty of space between them, and put in a warm place to prove for 30-45 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Press the rolls down gently using your hands, then brush over some milk and scatter over the sesame seeds, if you like (or, dust with some flour). Bake for 10-12 mins until risen and lightly golden. Leave to cool completely, then serve. Make up to two days ahead and keep in an airtight container.

EASY HAMBURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Warm the milk and butter together just until the butter starts to melt.
• Place all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl. (I use my bread maker dough cycle here). Stir to combine, then knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, about 10-15 minute. Add a bit of additional flour or water if needed.
• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover it with lightly greased plastic wrap, and let the dough rise until it's doubled in bulk.
• Turn the dough out onto a lighly floured work surface and divide it into six pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and place it in the lightly greased pan.
• Cover the pan let the buns rest for 10 min, then press each to flatten the top. Cover and let it rise until puffy, about 1 hour.
• Mix beaten egg white with 1 T water.
• Just before baking, brush with the egg white water mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake the buns in a preheated 375 F degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
• Remove from oven and let cool on a rack before slicing in half horizontally.

HAMBURGER BUNS, HOTDOG BUNS, OR DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Note: I gave up trying to put in weights in addition to volumes in the ingredients section. Water is 296g. Flour is 544g.
• In bread machine pan combine the warm water, oil, yeast, and sugar, mixing to dissolve.
• Allow yeast mixture to bloom for 10 minutes.
• Add egg, flour and salt to bread machine pan.
• Set bread machine to dough cycle and allow to run full cycle. (this is for 2 lb bread machine, if using a smaller bread machine then remove after kneading and allow to rise in a lightly covered bowl). Half way through the kneading cycle check your dough and if necessary add either water or flour 1 tablespoon at a time to adjust consistency. This can vary due to brand of flour or humidity.
• Coat your hands with flour and shake off the excess.
• Transfer the dough from the bread machine pan (or bowl if you are using a smaller bread machine) to a lightly floured dough board.
• Knead dough 6 or 8 times, folding over and turning a ¼ turn each time.
• With bench knife (or other knife) cut dough into 12 - 32 pieces, depending on what you are making.
• Shape dough into balls (or cylinders for hotdog buns) and place on sheet pan (I use a 16" pizza pan) lined with parchment.
• Loosely cover dough and let rise until ripe (30 minutes to 1 hr plus depending on temperature and the age of your yeast). Dough is ripe when approximately doubled or when you can press your index finger up to the first joint and it leaves an indention.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Just before putting in oven, brush the buns with half of the melted butter.
• For a variation brush with egg white instead of butter and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.
• Bake until golden brown, 18 to 25 minutes (my oven takes 21 minutes).
• Take the buns from the oven and brush them with the remaining melted butter.
• Slide the buns off the baking sheet onto a wire cooling rack rack and cool completely.

EASY HAMBURGER OR HOT DOG BUNS

Steps:

• Bring a kettle of water to a boil, then pour 50g of the boiling water into a medium bowl. Add 50g bread flour and mix until no dry flour remains. Refrigerate overnight to make the "yudane". Also, leave the butter out overnight to soften.
• Separate the egg, saving the white for later. In a large bowl, whisk the yolk with the milk, yeast, salt and sugar until everything is well-mixed and dissolved.
• Add the remaining 250g flour, plus the yudane, to the milk mixture. Mix until there is no dry flour remaining. Tip the dough out onto the counter, cover with plastic wrap, and let hydrate for 15 minutes.
• Hand-knead the dough for 6 minutes. The dough will be quite messy to work with for a while, but it should come together before the six minutes expire.
• Press the softened butter into the dough, then wrap the dough around to completely envelop the butter. Hand-knead for 4 more minutes. This will get very messy as the butter works its way to the surface of the dough. But, it will eventually become a nice smooth dough.
• Shape the dough into a ball, place in a bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to ferment for 2 to 2.5 hours.
• Using a scale, divide the dough into equal pieces. If making hamburger buns, do four pieces. For hot dog bugs, do six. Stretch/shape each piece into ball. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 20 minutes.
• Do final shaping. For hamburger buns, stretch the top surface of each ball so it's tight, and pinch off the bottom to seal. For hot dog buns, stretch each ball into a flat rectangle, then roll it into a spiral log, folding over the ends, and pinching the seams closed.
• Arrange on baking sheet atop a silicone mat or parchment paper. For hot dog buns, make sure the dough logs are crowded together so they completely touch each other along each long edge. Cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise for 2 hours. Preheat the oven to 320F with convection on, and place another baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven.
• Brush the tops of the buns with the egg white. For hamburger buns, you can optionally sprinkle with sesame seeds. Throw some ice cubes onto the pre-heated baking sheet to create some steam, then bake buns for 25 minutes on the upper rack until the crust is a nice color.
• Remove from oven, and place on a rack until entirely cool. For the hot dog buns, it's easiest to cut the slits while the buns are all still attached together (and you may need a knife to help separate them).
