Tonight I was looking for a fast hamburger bun recipe to finish my meal of sloppy joes. I looked online and tried the "40 minute Hamburger Bun" recipe, hoping it would be good. I am so glad I tried it, because now I have a new favorite!
40 minute Hamburger Buns (or Quick Dinner Rolls)
Prep: 20 minutes + Rest: 10 min + Cook: 8-12 minutesIngredients:
2 T. Active Dry Yeast
1C. + 2T. Warm Water (110-115*)
1/3 C. Oil (I used Olive Oil - any should work)
1/4 C. Sugar (I used Brown Sugar)
1 egg
1 t. salt
3- 3 1/3 C. All Purpose Flour (I used Whole Wheat Flour)
Directions:
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3-5 minutes. Do not let rise. Divide into 12 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place 3 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
- To make dinner rolls - I would make more than 12 pieces, maybe 15
- Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Bake at 425° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 1 dozen.

These nutritional facts are not for the alterations I made (olive oil, w.w. flour, etc), but just what came with the recipe. Kind of fun and interesting, so I'm including it.
I hope you make these, because I'm positive you will enjoy them!
