directions

  • Place all ingredients in your bread machine. Select dough. Allow to run cycle.
  • Dump out onto lightly floured surface. Divide into 8 pieces. With each piece, slap into a bun shape. Usually four or five slaps will do it. Place on greased cookie sheets or your bun pans, cover; rise about 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Bake in preheated 375°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes till golden. Cool on wire racks. I like to add a teaspoon of onion powder and about 1/2 teaspoon dried onion to the dough in the bread machine. It makes a light onion-y flavor that is wonderful!
  • When I do these for burgers, I split the bun, butter, and fry in a skillet till brown. Yummy! They make great sandwich buns too! Nice and soft! You can’t go wrong with this recipe!

  1. Without a doubt this is the best recipe for buns in the world.
     
  2. These have the density of a potato roll. I really liked them, but they are a little heavier. I thought they would be too sweet, but they are not. Excellent!
     
  3. This recipe makes excellent brioche- style hamburger buns. Also good for grilled chicken sandwiches. I have been making them for several years.
     
  4. These were yummy :) A little sweet, but turned out lovely. The onion was mild and did not overpower the rest of the recipe. I'll be saving this recipe for the future.
     
  5. excellent rolls, I like em heavy.

  1. A pinch of onion
     
  2. I've been making Moomie's buns for several years and they always turn out excellent. I mix em up in my food processor and it takes almost no time to make em and have fresh buns for dinner. Sometimes I replace 1/2 cup of the flour with oatmeal..they turn out yummy!
