I'm trying a new hamburger bun recipe today. I have chicken quarters in the crockpot and that will turn into either BBQ chicken or chicken salad for the buns. Wish me luck please!

Sounds good!

Thanks Ron, guess we'll find out soon. The 1st rise is done, gotta go shape them and let them rise again. I'll give a full report this afternoon.

The hamburger buns were a hit! This one is a keeper.

Wow. you do a good job!
I am getting a care package together for the boy and I am going to make bar cookies because they will pack/ship well. Any other ideas?

I bought m&m's for the cookies... but something happened to them.

Seeded Hamburger Buns

3/4 to 1 Cup warm water (use 3/4 if it's humid, 1 C if air is dry)
2 Tab softened butter
2 eggs (separate 1 of the eggs, the yolk goes in the dough and the white is used for the topping)
3 1/2 Cups AP flour
1/4 Cup sugar
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 Tab yeast
Sesame or other type of seed

1. Mix all ingredients together and knead 7-10 minutes to make a soft, smooth, slightly sticky dough
2. Lightly grease bowl, put the dough in and cover.
3. Let rise until doubled (approx. 1-2 hours)
4. Divide into 8 pieces. Shape into balls, place on parchment paper covered baking sheet. Gently flatten the balls with the palm of your hand to about 3" across.
5. Cover and let rise about 1 hour, until noticeably puffy
6. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees while the buns are rising
7. Mix egg white with 2 Tab water. Brush bun tops with mixture and sprinkle with seeds.
8. Bake 15-18 minutes

You can make these bigger or smaller if you want. I weighed the dough, then divided total weight by 8 to get them all the same size, it makes a nice burger size. Slidders might be fun too.
