In the Kitchen (Hamburger Buns)

I finally found a great recipe for homemade hamburger buns.  The best part?

You can make them in less than an hour.

Here's what you'll need:

3 1/2 cups warm water
1 cup oil
3/4 cup sugar or 1/2 cup honey
6 T. active dry yeast
1 T. salt
3 eggs, beaten
10 1/2 cups white or whole wheat flour

Mix the first four ingredients and let rest for 15 minutes.  It should get spongy and bubbly.  Add remaining ingredients.  Mix then knead for 5 minutes.  Preheat oven to 425.  Roll out dough to 1/2" thick.  Shape immediately (I use the lid from a wide mouth canning jar).  Let rise for 10 minutes.  Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

This recipe makes approximately 36 buns (depending on how big you make them) so you can freeze the extras for ready-made buns later.  Of course you can also make hot dog buns, brat buns, mini-burger buns, or whatever suits your fancy.  Enjoy and remember Romans  14:17!
