40-Minute Hamburger Buns

 At the beginning of the pandemic, when we were trying to stay home as much as possible, my kids really wanted to have hamburgers.  Since we didn't have any buns, I tried this recipe.  Max said that these buns made the pandemic worth it, because he loved them so much.  Haha.  This makes 12 hamburger buns.

2 T Active dry yeast

1 Cup plus 2 T. warm water

1/3 Cup Vegetable oil

1/4 Cup Sugar


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.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 3-5 minutes.  Do not let rise.  Divide into 12 pieces; shape each into a ball.  Place 3 inches apart on greased baking sheets.  Preheat oven to 425.

Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.  Bake until golden brown, 8-12 minutes.  Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

If you want sesame seeds on top:  Brush warm buns with butter and immediately sprinkle with seeds.
