Burger Buns

Ingredients

• 3/4 to 1 cup of lukewarm water
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 lge egg
• 420g plain flour
• 1/4 (or 50g) cup sugar
• 1 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp yeast

Method

• Mix and knead all of the dough ingredients — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — to make a soft, smooth dough.

• Cover the dough, and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until it's nearly doubled in bulk.

• Heat oven to 180C.

• Gently deflate the dough, and divide it into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball; flatten to about 3" across. Place the buns on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for about an hour, until noticeably puffy.

• Bake the buns in oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden. Remove them from the oven.

• Cool the buns on a rack.
