Munchie Monday: King Arthur Flour Hamburger Buns

Those Black Bean and Corn Burgers needed some buns to surround them so I searched for a recipe.  There were several 40-Minute Burger Buns recipes but I saw a Beautiful Burger Buns by King Arthur Flour.  You really cannot go wrong with KAF!


Here are the ingredients so you can decide (if you have the ingredients in your pantry...) if it is worth going to their website for the directions.  These are really yummy rolls.  Too yummy.

Beautiful Burger Buns

3/4 to 1 cup warm water
2 Tablespoons room temperature butter
1 large room temperature egg
3 1/2  cups All- Purpose  Flour
1/4 cup vital wheat gluten (what I added, KAF did not call for this but I did not have KAF flour which is higher protein than regular all-purpose flour.)
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon yeast
1 1/4 teaspoons salt

 

Here they are in the burger bun pan, risen and ready to cook.  The only problem with this pan, or rather, with the amount of dough I put in the pan, is that it was too much so the buns were about twice as much bread as we wanted.  If I make them again, I will cut the amount I put in the pans in half.  Both Dear One and I felt we were eating too much bread, even though it was fabulous bread.

Buns cooled and sliced and ready to apply burgers and toppings.  They really were delicious.  So hard not to eat them all right up.
