What is the best bun to bake? The stuff I have seen and even gotten in
restaurants are generally pretty uninspiring.

And, as long as we are at it, use the same recipe for hot dog buns?

You don't say whether you want them light and fluffy or heavy like a
kaiser type roll. so, here's one for both the burger and the dogs.

thanks. I am not sure which I would prefer. I think I will get some
suggestions and actually try them, instead of just shooting them down one by
one. As fun as that might be, and in keeping with some sort of tradition
here . . .

Oh, I just remembered - a soft pretzel type roll. I'll add to the list to
try.

Maybe you could consider that instead.

Might as well. I would use it for grilled sausages, not hot dogs,
though.

I just made Belles Hamburger Buns and liked them a lot. The egg wash gives a
nice crisp exterior.

I am told that the Beautiful Burger Buns from King Arthur Flour are
awesome. Google will be your friend.

Check KAF.

The absolute best I've made are King Arthur Flour's Beautiful Burger
Buns: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recip...er-buns-recipe

I also stuff them sometimes, and they're awesome that way, too:

because the ones in markets here look right but are actually terribly sweet
and seem to have almond extract in them. This recipe has worked very well
for both. Previous to finding it, I did white bread in shapes, but this is
better.

Or onion rolls! I wouldn't bother making rolls for hamburgers, but then
again I've never claimed to be a baker

For grilled sausage (Italian, which I avoid due to fennel seeds, or
bratwurst) I prefer a toasted hoagie bun or sourdough.

WHOLE WHEAT HAMBURGER BUNS

I make these abt twice a week and like the results.

Into my ABM I dump:

5/8 C water
1 egg
1 & 1/3 C bread flour (I mix KA with gluten, I cup to 1 T.)
1/3 C Whole wheat flour
1/2 t. salt
3 T safflower oil (sometimes canola, if I'm out of saf)
2-3 T sugar
2 t. dry active yeast

Use dough setting.
I roll the dough into long ropes, then fashion into a rosette shaped
bun. Sometimes I roll the ropes first in rye flour. Cover and let
rise in a warm oven for abt 10 mins.

Bake at 400 on a parchment covered sheet. Check after 10 minutes.
I get 5 good sized rolls out of this. I also have the quantities if
you want to make about 8 rolls.

_______________

I also have used this recipe for a nice loaf of bread made in the
ABM. Heat the water in mike for 30 sec. on high. I used the rapid
bake setting on the ABM.

The one *you* like best? That day.

I make whatever bread I feel like that day-- white, ciabatta, rye. . .
I haven't tried the KA recipes that have been posted-- but I'll
probably get around to it one of these days.

After the first rise I make them into 90g [or so] rolls [or 130g logs]
and arrange on a 1/2 sheet pan. I fit 12 hamburger and 8 hot dog
rolls on a pan. I butter them once at this point so they come apart
easier-- then I hit them again when they come out.

The best buns I've ever made were from the King Arthur onion roll
recipe. It's on their site. Good stuff.

Use a plain sweet roll dough, shape accordingly, and bake.

Pretzel rolls are great for hot dogs and other sausages. They're big
and sturdy enough to make a double dog with all the proper condiments.

<shrug> Many dinner rolls are made from a rich sweet dough--it's more
tender. I am excluding "hard roll" type breads.

I don't eat enough bread or rolls to be bothered making them. The
commercial rolls are usually pretty lame. I get hamburger buns from the
local bakery. They are more expensive than in the grocery store but they
are worth it. A good roll is an essential part of a good burger.

Curiosity made me look at my favorite recipes for dinner rolls and
cinnamon rolls.

Both make about 3 lbs of dough. The dinner rolls have 1/4 cup sugar,
the cinn. rolls have 2/3 cup.

Different degrees of sweetness-- but my dinner rolls could certainly
be called 'sweet dough' . . . and they make great hotdog and
hamburger buns.

My rolls don't contain sugar, but I use lots of honey. I like them on
the sweet side.

For a dough recipe one who would indicate the volume of sugar would
also indicate the volume of flour, no one gives a rats b-hind how much
the dough weighs... makes one think you're full of excrement.

Hey, there's no accounting for taste.

Sigworthy!!.

I hate rolls whose underhalf turns to a wet, paper thin sheet.
Many places make a tasty burger, then ruin the eating experience by
using collapsible buns.
