Everyone loves fresh baked, homemade bread. And burgers are an American favorite. Put the two together and you'll have the best burgers ever. It's easy to make your own hamburger buns. You can bake them in the oven or mix up the dough at home and take the dough to the party to bake your buns on the grill.
Take any bread mix. Be adventuresome and consider a bread with some flavor: one of our tomato breads or Sour Cream Onion or a rye bread or maybe Fully Loaded Baked Potato Bread. (We make mixes specifically for rolls and buns and they are a little richer than bread mixes but these will do just fine.)
To make the dough, follow the producer's directions or the directions for the recipe. Place your dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled. If you would like to use your bread machine, put it on the dough setting. The machine will beep to tell you that it's time to form your buns.
Remove the dough and divide it with a knife into eight equal pieces if you are using a one-loaf mix. Form a round with each. Place them on a greased baking sheet with room to expand. Using the heel of your hand, flatten each roll. The elasticity in the dough will tend to make the rolls spring back. Let the dough relax for a few minutes and repeat the process. Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let the rolls rise until doubled
