Soft-N-Fluffy Hamburger Buns

Soft and light hamburger buns with a moist crumb. This recipe is a keeper; simple and perfect every time. You can vary the size to accommodate larger burgers or make little sliders — make hot dog buns, too! I worked on this recipe until I got it perfect. I hope you enjoy it!



Soft-N-Fluffy Hamburger Buns
Ingredients
  • 1 cup warm water

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 3 cups bread flour

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon vital wheat gluten

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast

Instructions
    1. Place water, canola oil, flour, sugar, salt, vital wheat gluten, and yeast into the pan of a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select the dough cycle, and turn on the machine. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

    2. When the cycle is finished, remove dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and knead for 2 to 3 minutes. Cut dough into 12 equal-size pieces, and roll dough into balls by cupping your hand, with open fingers, over each piece of dough. Roll gently, with just a little pressure, to form dough ball with a silky surface. Place dough balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, and flatten each dough ball gently into a bun. Cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.

    3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

    4. Bake rolls in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on racks before slicing.
