[Recipe} Moomie's Buns

[Guest guest]

Funny name, I know, but it's what they were called! It's the hamburger

bun recipe I used today. We finally got the gas BBQ up and running for

the season (have charcoal too, but it takes sooooooo long!), and

homemade rolls are so much better than store bought, I think. Boca

grilled onion burgers, cooked on the grill, topped with a thick slice of

red onion, tomato, and dill pickles, with a smear of spicy brown

mustard, all nestled in a freshly baked bun - YUM! And fresh berries

for dessert. Don't you wish you had dinner at my house tonite? *grin*

 

If you have a bread machine, it really is almost effortless to make

fresh bread and buns, and I much prefer having control over the

ingredients.

 

Here's the recipe as I originally found it. My changes are in brackets.

 

 

Moomie's Hamburger Buns

 

.. 1 c water

.. 2 tbsp butter or margarine (I used vegetable shortening)

.. 1 egg

.. 3 1/4 c. flour (I used half whole wheat flour, because I don't like

" white bread " of any sort very much)

.. 1/4 c. sugar

.. 1 tsp salt

.. 3 tsp instant yeast (I used one envelope, which is about 2.25 tsp)

 

.. Place all ingredients in your bread machine. Select dough. Allow to

run cycle.

.. Dump out onto lightly floured surface. Divide into 8 pieces. With each

piece, slap into a bun shape. Usually 4 or 5 slaps will do it. Place on

greased cookie sheets or your bun pans, cover; rise about 30 to 40

minutes.

Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes til golden. Cool

on wire racks. I like to add a tsp of onion powder and about 1/2 tsp

dried onion to the dough in the bread machine. It maks a light onion-y

flavor that it wonderful!

.. When I do these for burgers, I split the bun, butter, and fry in a

skillet til brown. Yummy! They make great sandwich buns too! Nice and

soft! You can't go wrong with this recipe!

 

(These buns were actually a little larger than I like. I think next

time I'll cut the dough into 10 pieces before shaping them. Otherwise,

it was a great recipe!)

hi I just wanted to point out that you were saying that charcoal

takes a long time. get one of those tower things where you wad up a

couple pieces of newspaper and put that in the bottom then put your

charcoal on the top part and if its done right you should have a fire

going in ten minutes or so stay cool Dave
