Thanks! I made hamburger buns and hot dog buns yesterday afternoon and my kids couldn’t wait for dinner! They had hot dogs and hubby and I had chicken salad sandwiches! I even used mostly wheat flour, so they said it tasted just like my bread…and my 4 year old LOVED helping me shape the buns!

Proofing it with the boiling water just helps the bread puff up lighter and moister. But not necessary.

Okay, so I’m wondering why you have to proof it? I’ve been making bread for years (different recipe), but want to try this one to make hamburger buns. Is the proofing step necessary? What is its purpose? Thanks!

Looks great! And the cost of hamburger or hot-dog buns is outrageous. I make bread because it is so good, but because it saves money too!

When you make this by hand, just double the recipe, since the effort it will take to knead the dough is worth at least two loaves. Just knead it until it’s as smooth as you can get it. It usually takes me about 5-10 minutes, if that.

ditto on the electric mixer (def. not in a students budget!) i wonder if anyone has instructions for making this bread by hand.

I am so with you on buying high quality foods! Just yesterday we took our kids to a local produce market which sells from local farmers. We got great quality produce and so fresh! I would much rather spend my money on that than get 10 boxes of mac and cheese for a dollar with coupons
The rolls look delish — can’t wait to try!
