What to do when you don't want to go to the grocery store...

The other night we wanted hamburgers...we had ground beef, but no buns.  And there was no way I was going back to that ridiculously crowded grocery store...thank you google...here's my solution:
40 -minute Hamburger buns
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  • 1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough.
  • 2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3-5 minutes. Do not let rise. Divide into 12 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place 3 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
  • 3. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Bake at 425° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 1 dozen.



When I followed the recipe, the buns were way too small, so I had to make a second batch.  Unfortunately we were then out of veggie oil...but for the record, olive oil worked really well!  The buns were very tasty and the boy reports the leftovers made great toast this morning!
