40-minute Hamburger Buns

10 years ago

I made these last nite and they are great. So quick and easy.

My math sucks, so I made 16 buns instead of 12, so they're dinner rolls, vs burger buns, which is perfectly fine. I cut the dough in half, then in quarters, instead of thirds.

This is definitely in my keeper binder.

40 Minute Hamburger Buns (Taste of Home)

2 tbsp yeast

1 cup lust 2 tbsp warm water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup sugar (I used 2tbsp)

1 egg, beaten

1 tsp salt

3-3 1/2 cups flour

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water and sugar. Add oil and let stand until foamy, 5-8 minutes.

Add egg and salt and enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 5 minutes.

Divide into 12 pieces, shape into balls and place 3" apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets.

Cover and let rise 30 minutes.

Bake at 375° 12-13 minutes until golden brown

Thanks, Jasdip. Sometimes there just isn't time, and I love the idea of buns that can be just whipped up.

I just noticed a typo in the recipe. It's supposed to be "plus" 2 tbsp warm water. I have no idea why I typed "lust" LOL.

I agree Plllog, these were so quick to whip up, with only the 1 rise.

OhioMom : I told Kathleen last week, that You don't have to give up food for Lent. It is just the sacrificing, for the things you like to do. When I glanced, I thought you were giving up love, til I reread. Now that's a sacrifice, although I guess for some of us it would'nt be. Makes it a lot easier for Lent though. I don't worry it to much, because I'm always Sacrificing myself here. Testing recipes,to be sure they are safe. I don't know how many times, I put my life in Jeopardy, doing this for you women. Lee: All kinds of things come into my mind. Really, I have a lot of cake mixes and wanted to use some of them up. It would have been easier, just to bake a Yellow Cake but that isn't very creative. I'm glad I did, because I came up with something good and it's easy. Kathleen: Someday, I'm going to sing " Danny Boy " to you. I'm the best, Italian, Irish, Tenor in North America. End wieth aein Iiierish Brooogue, ie'll ave ye !!! When I rolled the Dough into a Log, I had a lot left over. So, I took pieces from it, to fill in the larger spaces, as can be seen, in the Photo. Just stuff them in. I let it rise a little and the Rolls all filled in solid, before I Bake them. I may try dried fruit next time, or just use Raisins and Nuts. Because it was a little soft under the Apples. Was I nice enough !!!! LOU

Here is the sourdough English Muffin recipe that I have made several times. You can use all bread flour or half bread/half whole wheat as I do. These are cooked on a griddle or in a large fry pan for about 6-7 minutes each side. The recipe makes 10-12 and comes from Dean Tucker's book, Sourdough Cookin', 1976. Sourdough English Muffins 1 cup sourdough starter 2 1/2 cups flour 3/4 cup buttermilk 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal, plus 2 TB 1 t. soda 1/2 t. salt Take the buttermilk and the starter from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before preparing the recipe. When all ingredients are at room temperature, combine all and stir well. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth - or knead 5 minutes on low in an electric mixer, adding more flour if necessary to prevent sticking. Roll dough to a half inch thickness and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Cut with a floured 3" cutter. Sprinkle 2 TB of cornmeal on a sheet of waxed paper. Place muffins on cornmeal and press lightly to coat each side. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour. Bake on a lightly greased griddle heated to 350 for about 10 minutes each side, [mine did not take that long to cook] turning occasionally while cooking. Cool on a rack or serve right away. These freeze very well! I put 2-4 in a freezer zip bag when they are completely cooled and freeze.

Yes, he's a cute little guy, and an absolute terror in the pasture, LOL. He's also fuzzy and makes you just want to grab him. Fortunately, they're a lot less cute when they become 1000 pounds of bull, and start pushing everything and everyone around! I love my animals, my cows are treated just like my horses, I love 'em all. I pet them and play with them and feed them treats and they follow me around. Even when it's time for them to become beef they don't go into a trailer and spend time in a stock yard, away from their herd in a strange place. I have Dallas come to the farm to slaughter and so they are born here, spend their lives here and only leave here after their death, which is as quick and painless as I can arrange. If I had to eat commercial beef, I'd give it up too. They way they are raised and fed and treated offends me, it's a cruel industry and not a good life for those animals. So, I raise my own. It seems contra-indicative, but I raise my own beef because I DO love my animals, and I believe that everyone should remember where that meat comes from and the animals that produced it, and make their lives safe, happy and contented and their final demise as quick and painless as possible. rgreen, I like a good veggie burger too. I actually eat meat about 3 or 4 times a week, not even every day. I've even kind of lost my taste for bacon and ham, although I know that's heresy, LOL. And yes, I raise my own pigs and chickens too. Now, back to those burgers. olychick, Grandma used to tell me to mix ice chips into the meat and that they would produce steam as the ice melted and keep the meat moister, so it's not a new concept at all. As for size, a quarter pounder is a bit more even than I want, maybe 5 burgers per pound or even 6, although mine don't shrink appreciably and some fattier meat might. I don't want it really crunchy on the outside, but I do want a bit of browned "crust", and warm in the middle, not cold. Annie

Quick rise yeast? That's fast! Do you think it needs that much oil? Could I reduce the amount?

Hi Sherry, that sounds very much like a yeast roll dough I mix up in my bread machine, if it is, it is very good.

Nicole, I used regular dried yeast, not the instant.

I did use the 1/3 cup oil, I don't see why it couldn't be cut back. You can use melted butter of course if you'd rather.

This is a smaller, and more manageable version, of 30-Minute Hamburger Buns I used to make from the cookbook "Whole Wheat Cookery - Treasures From the Wheat Bin" by Howard and Anna Ruth Beck (1986). The recipe made a really HUGE amount of dough (so much dough you had to retard it in the refrigerator if you didn't have more than one oven and LOTS of pans to bake the buns on - or you risk over-proofing the buns before you can get them baked).

The recipe called for 10-1/2 c. stone ground whole wheat flour and makes at least 4-dozen buns (I would scale the dough to 2.5 to 3-oz. for large buns, 1.5-2-oz. for dinner rolls, and for hot dog buns - make the dough cylinder about the same size - or a little larger - as the hot dogs you are going to use). The rule of thumb: The dough size is about 1/3 the size of the finished product. You allow the dough to rise to "double", and that accounts for 2/3 of the finished size. The oven spring (the amount the dough continues to rise in the oven) accounts for the last 1/3 of the finished size.

And yes, you could really make the recipe in 30-minutes, especially if you are an experienced bread and roll maker. The dough is so fast because there is an inordinately large amount of yeast in the recipe (the 30-Minute recipe calls for 6 T. of yeast). It's not a really "great" bread recipe (there's not enough time for the bread to develop really great flavor), but when time is an issue, it's a go-to recipe. ;-)

OK. I pinned it. I have all of the ingredients to make these. I might try it this weekend and then make some barbecue pork to go with them.

Would these buns taste good with some grilled onions mixed in or on top?
