Recently a friend of ours gave me a hamburger and a hot dog bun pan and I've been dying to try a batch but I didn't like the work involved in some of the recipes I found online and in the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day book. So I thought why don't I just use the crusty bread dough and the hamburger bun recipe cooking times and techniques. Here's the dough split into 6 pieces and dropped in the bun pan to rise for 20 minutes.
After 25 minutes in the oven preheated to 350. I forgot to take a picture after they sat for 20 minutes and I brushed them with the melted butter
On the rack cooling for lunch
Cut open after they cooled
Decided to toast them up on the griddle with a little butter cause SWMBO loves a toasted bun
And plated up for lunch with some spicy brown mustard, smoked Jarlsberg Cheese and some of my Canadian Bacon.
Wife said it was a home run and could I have 50 ready for her next quilt guild meeting. I need to get better at portioning the dough more evenly and I think I need a little more melted butter brushed on and to cook them a little longer next time.
