Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Burger and Hot Dog Buns.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to set yourself up for success.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, gently warm the milk, water, and butter over medium heat until the mixture reaches a cozy temperature of about 120°F (50°C).
Step 3
While that’s warming up, grab a large bowl and mix together 1 3/4 cups of flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Step 4
Once your milk mixture is ready, pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well combined.
Step 5
Next, crack an egg into the mix and stir it in thoroughly.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to add the remaining flour, half a cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough starts to come together.
Step 7
Once your dough is formed, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8 minutes.
Step 8
You’re looking for a smooth and elastic texture, which is key to achieving those perfect buns.
Step 9
If you’re making burger buns, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
Step 10
Shape each piece into a smooth ball, place them on a greased baking sheet, and gently flatten them.
Step 11
Cover the buns and let them rise for 30 to 35 minutes, allowing them to puff up beautifully.
Step 12
If hot dog buns are more your style, divide the dough into 16 equal pieces instead.
Step 13
Shape each piece into a rectangle measuring about 6x4 inches, then roll each rectangle tightly from the long side, pinching the edges and ends to seal them.
Step 14
Place these on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 15
While your buns are rising, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 16
Once the buns have risen and are looking fluffy, pop them into the preheated oven.
Step 17
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 18
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible! Enjoy your homemade buns, perfect for any burger or hot dog feast!.
