It has been a little while since I have openly and purposely invited James into the kitchen to help with a cooking or baking task. Yesterday I decided it was high time for that to change. I decided to try my luck at homemade hamburger buns. While James was taking his nap, I whipped the dough together and got it rising in a covered bowl. Once James woke up, we went to work, and James had a blast! He enjoyed punching down the dough, helping me break it into smaller chunks of dough, rolling the dough into balls, smashing down the balls and brushing milk on the top of each hamburger bun. The result was a beautiful golden brown hamburger bun that was tasty, but perhaps next time I will play around a little bit and add some more seasoning or flavoring to the buns since I just made them the "plain Jane" way this go around. James was and still is very proud of his hamburger bun creations.
The recipe was extremely easy, and I am not always super successful at yeast breads, so I love the way the recipe had you boil ingredients and then set them aside until room temperature. Having a stand mixer with a dough hook also makes this super easy. Definitely a good basic white bread dough recipe.
By the way, here is the recipe I used:
Belles Hamburger Buns.
