Nice Buns

Oh yeah baby.  Those are some of the best lookin' buns I've seen in a long time.  And they taste good, too.  Looks aren't everything ya know.  I took this recipe and made it in my bread machine on the dough cycle, to save on time.  Worked great.  Heat 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup butter until very warm (120 degrees).  To the bread machine add 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast, 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt.  Add the warmed milk mixture and 1 slightly beaten egg.  After dough has risen and the dough cycle is over, divide dough into 12 parts.  Form into slightly flattened balls and place on parchment paper.  Let rise for 30 to 35 minutes.  Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  Perfection.  We wood fired burgers to go with these buns and we could not decide which was tastier-the buns or the burgers.  These buns will make your burgers soar to new heights.  Really, really good-and that's no lie (cause I don't lie).  I have nice buns, even Scotty will vouch for that.

  2. You put your dry ingredients in your bread machine first? Do the instructions with your machine say it's okay? I always read recipes that say "follow the order of ingredients recommended by your manufacturer." So I'm always putting wet on bottom, flour on top...
    But I have major ISSUES with my bread machine some days!

  3. I always do yeast first, then dry ingredients, then wet. It has always worked good!
