I love hamburgers. I have for like...ever. So the idea of making delicious, warm, fresh-out-of-the-oven buns for them myself is like "icing on the cake"...or "buns on a burger" rather ;-)
And it was so simple! And my house smells delicious, and I can't wait to have burgers for dinner tomorrow night! (Yes, tomorrow...my parents invited us over for pizza tonight, so these delicious little buns will have to wait!)
I got the recipe
here, and made no changes! It was SO perfect! (Even for me, a cook who is afraid of using yeast because I just know something is not going to work out right!!)
Ingredients:
[[ooops, did make a small change, I didn't use the optional onion stuff...I don't care for the flavor, and wanted to be able to use these buns for sandwiches too, so I left them plain]]
 |
| Before rising (just after mixing) |
Directions:
1.
Combine all the ingredients and mix and knead them together, by hand or by mixer, until you have a soft, smooth dough.
2. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour.
 |
| After rising for an hour...yay! |
3. Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape each piece into a flattened ball; place the buns on greased baking sheets, cover and let rise 30-40 minutes, until they're puffy.

| ...and after! |
4. Preheat oven to 375°.
5. Bake the buns for 12-15 minutes, until they're golden brown; remove from oven and baking sheet and cool them on a rack.
 |
| I split them into two pans to bake, but I think they would have been okay on one. |
6. Split and use for burgers or sandwiches.
 |
| Delicious, buttery, warm, bready goodness! |
They turned out AWESOME, are lightly buttery, and ever so delicious! These could *easily* be made with garlic, or cinnamon/sugar, or other spices to make "rolls" for breakfast or as a side to any other dish. They are really that good!!
