It sounds like a lot of time, but these are worth it! Mix them up a day that you are going to be puttering around the house. They are great as hamburger buns, but they are also very very good sliced like a bagel and toasted!

Hamburger Buns

2 1/2 cups of warm water
1 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon of yeast
1 teaspoon of salt

mix together and add 1/2 c butter or margarine melted

Stir in 8 - 8 1/2 cups of white flour
Knead well and let rise 3-4 hours. Then punch down and make into 18 hamburger buns. Flatten with your hand on greased cookie sheets. Let rise 2-3 hours, so that altogether they have about 6 hours of rising.

bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. Be careful when removing them from the oven, they may float out of the room

Do not use quick rise yeast

I have several blue ribbons with these, and they are worth the time. Mrs.K

these sound really good - and not too tough. I'll try them soon.

Mrs K-og could you please define quick rise yeast? Do you mean instant/fresh? thanks.

I'm not Mrs. K, but quick rise is put out by Fleischmann's and is designed as a single rise yeast. It's specified on the package. I haven't had too much luck with it but then my recipes are old standbys and I don't adapt well to changes I seldom buy yeast in the little packets, either Red Star or Fleischmanns, but buy it at health food stores in a little plastic baggie, measured out for me by the ounce, then I use a very skimpy tablespoon per 1 packet on the recipe.

Yes, Grain in is correct. I can get the quick rise to work, but I have to set a timer, I too went back to the traditional yeast, because I mix up and knead my bread and then go do something else.

The above recipes very long raising time needs the traditional yeast. I buy mine in a big foil bag, but I keep most of it in a canning quart jar in the freezer, to keep it fresh, just a small amount in the fridge. If you buy a lot of yeast, keep it in the freezer, or if you do not make bread often, keep it in the freezer, it will stay much fresher. Mrs.k

I just finished baking a batch of these rolls. I only made half a recipe but they are wonderful. I did use 25% whole wheat flour instead of all white flour. When packing them away, the container would only hold eight of the rolls, so #9 got shared and all agree that they are very good.

I am visiting daughter in Virginia and she won't let me do anything to help, but I can still cook. And read bedtime stories.

I have been looking for a good hamburger bun recipe for some time, and I think that I have
found it.

Thanks for sharing Mrs. K

I am glad that you liked them, they are a hit with my family. My oldest son said that I never need buy the buns again.

Try them toasted like a bagel...also quite good. mk

Mrs.K

I'm back in my own kitchen now and I decided to try your rolls again. This time I made the full recipe, but still cut the sugar in half. I made 12 burger buns and used the rest of the dough to make cinnamon rolls. Have you ever used it to make cinnamon rolls? They were awesome!!!

This sounds good and I want to try it.

But wanted to make sure that you use 1 cup sugar. Seemed like alot when I read that, and I don't want to mess them up. Course with 8 cups of flour, guess it really isn't that much.

Well anyway, I'm hungry, and this recipe appealed to me and I'm sure it will appeal to hubby.

Yes a whole cup of sugar, I think it needs that much to support the long rising time. It sounds strange, but the rolls have a hint of a sweet taste, but it is very good with a hamburger.

They are also good sliced like a bagel and toasted, with butter and jam.

I hope you like them. Mrs.K

ps... I was reading the other posts that i must have missed earlier, and I see one reader reduced the sugar. But I never have, and have been satisfied with the results.

Thanks...sounds great and a quick mix!!!

Gees!

Didn't realize how long ago this was posted!

Anyway, I had wrote down the recipe, and just made them a couple weeks ago,

Excellent!

Thanks Mrs.K!

Now of course the next time I make them, hubby wants cheese and garlic and Italian seasoning in them. That may very well screw up a great recipe, but I'll have to give it a whirl anyway! Haha Of course the additions might very well turn it into a great pizza crust? Guess we'll see.

Thanks Mrs K.
