Bread Machine Hamburger Buns: Dough Works For Hot Dog Buns Too!
My family loves my hamburger buns –especially this child, who while eating this very chicken burger pictured said: “Mom, this chicken sandwich would be even better if it were served on your homemade buns”.
These buns freeze well. A normal batch makes 8 buns. I, however, have 2 bread machines so I make up 16 at a time.
The hardest part about this recipe was learning just how big I needed to make the buns before they spent half an hour rising so that they were neither too big nor too small.
After probably at least 6 tries, I finally got the size down as well as the recipe tweaks to make it more to my family’s liking.

Homemade buns are the best. My family won’t eat store-bought hot dog buns any more. And yes, I have to adjust most recipes, or else there won’t be enough for us! Most people make pasta/pizza sauce by the quart, right? I make it by the gallon, 1 1/2 gallons actually. I freeze it in cool whip containers. I can make pizza or pasta in a jiff this way.
I’ve made hamburger buns before, but it’s been a while. Just this week I was thinking I would try to do them again!
Oh I so wish I had a bread machine, but then again I’d probably gain 100lbs. so it’s best I don’t buy one 😉 I would love for you to come party with me! http://www.firsthomelovelife.com/2012/05/whats-cooking-wednesday-2.html
Sorry for my ignorance, but, is “gluten” the same as “gluten flour” or “vital wheat gluten”?
It is vital wheat gluten.
can I substitute the powdered milk with regular milk?
I suppose if you took out as much liquid as you add in with the milk it might work.
