Instructions: To Debbie:
Heres our favorite hamburger bun recipe.

Place all ingredients in bread pan, select "dough" setting, and press "start".

Once dough has risen long enough, the machine will beep.

Turn off bread machine, remove bread pan, and turn out dough onto a floured counter top or cutting board. Gently roll and shape the dough into a 12-inch rope.

For 1 1/2-pound: With a sharp knife, divide dough into 8 pieces for hamburger buns or 12 pieces for hot dog buns.

For 1-pound: With a sharp knife, divide dough into 6 pieces for hamburger buns or 8 pieces for hot dog buns.

Grease a cookie sheet. Roll pieces of dough into balls and flatten for hamburger buns or shape into 6-inch long rolls for hot dog buns. Place on prepared cookie sheet. Cover and let rise in warm oven 10 to 15 minutes until almost doubled.

(Hint: To warm up oven slightly, turn oven on "warm" for two minutes, then turn it off, place covered dough in oven to rise.)

Preheat oven to 400 F. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on racks. When ready to use, split buns in half horizontally. These will keep in a plastic bag in the freezer for 3 to 4 weeks.

1 1/2-pound yields 8 hamburger or 12 hot dog buns 1-pound yields 6 hamburger or 8 hot dog buns
