Bread is becoming one of my specialties! These burger bun came out crisp outside and light and fluffy inside. This bread was very easy to make, and made so many of these beautiful buns. I decided to divide my dough into 8 rolls, these ended up about 4 inched in diameter, and about 2 1/5 to 4 inched tall. If you wanted you could probably add some decorative cuts in the top, or you could brush with egg wash and sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds. Perfect for a hot or cold sandwich, or just butter and have as a side with your pasta!
- In a bowl, mix together 4 cups flour, 1 Tbsp sugar, 2 tsp active dried yeast, a pinch of salt, 1/2 cup warm milk, 1/2 cup warm water, and 1 egg. Beat until it comes together. Add in 2 tbsp oil and mix. Add up to an additional 1/4 of water if needed. Knead until dough is soft, elastic, and smooth.
- Lightly oil a bowl. Form the dough into a ball, and coat with oil. Place in oiled bowl and let rise till doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough. Turn out onto a clean work surface (flour the surface if your dough it too tacky). Divide your dough into 8-10 pieces. Form into a ball and hide all seams.
- Grease a large baking sheet. Space out dough on sheet and let rise till doubled about 45 minutes. Towards the end, preheat oven to 350 F.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden. Let cool for 15-30 minutes before eating.
