Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 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!) -- Sherri Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film. - Steven Wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
