40 minute buns rock!

Just a quick post to give a mention for these great 40 minute hamburger buns. I started making them 5:30 and they were ready at 6:30. I did let them rise for more than the 10 minutes suggested. And they were huge for our tiny burger patties, haha! I usually make really big patties too. Oh well!

These are so soft and delicious you just want to gobble them up with out the burger! Definitely try this recipe from the Fresh Loaf:

Here is recipe:
Ingredients

* 3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

* soft dough.

* Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about
* 3-5 minutes. Do not let rise. Divide into 12 pieces (I make 6-8 depending on how big I want the buns to be); shape each into a ball. Place 3 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
*
* Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Bake at 425° for 8-12 minutes
* or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
* Yield: 1/2 dozen to 1 dozen.
