If you’re planning to serve these buns with Stuffed Hamburgers, you’ll want to make them bigger; cut the dough into 12 strips instead of 16.
Bread Machine BBQ Buns
12 or 16 buns, depending on size
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 egg
1/4 cup powdered milk
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 3/4 - 4 cups flour
1 tablespoon yeast
Glaze:
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- Measure the water into the pan of the automatic bread machine.
- Add the egg, powdered milk, sugar, butter, and salt.
- Add the flour, then the yeast.
- Turn the machine to the dough cycle and start.
- Check the dough after about 5 minutes; it should be soft, but hold its shape.
- If it is too soft to hold its shape, add the additional 1/4 cup flour;
- If it is too stiff, add a few tablespoons water.
- When the cycle has finished, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, preferably a Pastry cloth.
- Roll or pat the dough into a rectangle about 12” x 14”.
- With a pizza cutter, cut the dough in half horizontally, then vertically into 8 strips (or just cut into 12 or 16 long strips depending on the size of buns).
- Tie each strip into a knot, then tuck both ends under the roll, forming a rosette.
- Place the rolls on parchment covered baking sheets.
- Cover loosely with a dish towel.
- Let the rolls rise until they are doubled in bulk. You can tell if they are doubled by pushing the side of one of the rolls with your finger; if the indent from your finger stays, the dough has risen sufficiently. If the dough springs back, it hasn’t risen long enough.
- Beat the egg and milk until smooth.
- Carefully brush the rolls with the egg mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake in a preheated 350° oven about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Note: To shape Hot Dog Buns, roll or pat the dough into a rectangle 3/4 “ thick. Using a ruler and pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips 1 1/2 “ wide and 5” long.
