E-Z Homemade Hamburger Rolls

E-Z Homemade Hamburger Rolls



1 package active dry yeast (7 grams)

1 cup lukewarm water (110-115 F.)

1/4 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon

2 tablespoons butter

1 egg

3 + 1/2 cups flour (all-purpose, bread, white whole wheat or a combo)

1 + 1/4 teaspoons salt



for topping (optional):



1 egg

sesame or poppy seeds







1. In a small bowl dissolve yeast in the warm water, stir in sugar and allow to sit until bubbly, 5-10 minutes.

2. Mix all of the dough ingredients together including the yeast mixture. Knead either by hand (on a floured surface, adding flour as needed), mixer, or bread machine until you get a soft, smooth dough.

3. Put the dough in an large, oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

4. Gently deflate the dough. On a floured board or counter top divide dough into 8 equal pieces, shape each piece into a circle about 1" thick and flatten to about 3" across. Place the buns on a lightly greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise for about an hour or until very puffy.

5. Preheat oven to 375°F. Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water, brush over tops and sprinkle with seeds.

6. Bake for 12 to 16 minutes until lightly golden. Cool on wire racks.
