This easy KITTENCAL'S HAMBURGER/BURGER BUNS Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup warm water 1 teaspoon sugar 1 tablespoon dry yeast 3?4 cup warm whole milk 4 tablespoons sugar (for a less sweeter bun reduce to 3 tablespoons) 1?4 cup melted Crisco shortening (I use butter flavor) 1 1?2 teaspoons salt 3 1?2 cups all-purpose white flour (U.S. residents use bread flour, you may need more four start with 3-1/2 cups and add in more while m) 1 egg white 1 teaspoon water 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
DIRECTIONS
Proof the yeast in 1 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon sugar; let sit for 10 minutes until foamy. In a heavy duty stand mixer, fitted with a kneader hook, add in the 3-1/2 cups flour, 4 tablespoons sugar, melted Crisco, warm milk and salt (and the malt powder if using). Add in the proofed yeast; mix to create a soft semi-sticky dough that holds around the blade, adding in more flour as needed (do not add in too much as it will create a heavy bun, dough should be semi-sticky. Knead dough for 7-8 minutes. Remove dough, and let rest on the counter, covered with a clean dish towel for 10 minutes (this is an important step!). Knead the dough gently for 30 seconds with hands. Place dough in a large well-greased/oiled bowl. Cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 60-90 minutes, or until double in size (I like to rise my dough in the oven, just set oven to 200 degrees and warm for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat while you are making the dough, this will create a perfect temperature to raise dough in, and usually takes only 1 hour to rise with oven method). Punch down dough. Shape into large balls, and place on a large greased cookie sheet (you should get 12 balls on the sheet). Cover with a light clean tea towel, and let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until almost doubled (warm oven rise should take 30 minutes. Set oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together 1 egg white with 1 tsp water; whisk/mix well. Carefully brush the tops and sides of the buns with the egg/water mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for approx.22 minutes, or until golden brown.
