Instructions
-
- Place all ingredients in KitchenAid with dough hook, mix, then knead for 2 minutes on speed 2.
- Form dough into a ball and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour). Turn out dough onto a floured countertop. Gently roll and shape the dough into a 12-inch rope.
- With a sharp knife, divide dough into 8 pieces for hamburger buns or 12 pieces for hot dog buns.
- Grease a baking sheet. Roll pieces of dough into balls and flatten for hamburger buns or shape into 6-inch rolls for hot dog buns. Place on prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise in warm oven 10 to 15 minutes until almost doubled.
- Preheat oven to 400°F Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on racks. When ready to use, split buns horizontally. These will keep in plastic bag in the freezer for 3 to 4 weeks.
