Burger or Hotdog buns
Okay - this Saturday I want to make cheesesteak sandwiches, then realized I was out of rolls- all we had was bread. Well I can not eat a steak sandwich on bread.. I had already been out for like 4 hours.I had driven to my mother's than to Ross's then to Walmart, then back to my mother's ... all with the 2 kids. Anyone who knows my kids will know what this trip entailed... Nonstop - I mean literally nonstop talk from the 4 year old, even when he has nothing to say, he just starts to recite commercials or cartoons from memory or what ever swearword I have inadvertently said at a passing driver...and the 11 year old wanting to take his DS into every store dodging huge displays and only clearing half of them... the thought of making my own sandwich rolls seemed easier than going back to a store - trust me... I love my kids but taking them into a store, makes the challenges on Survivor or FearFactor look easy. So - here is the recipe that kept me out of a store Saturday evening:
Rolls:
1 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Butter
4 1/2 Cup All purpose flour
1 pack of Yeast
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 1/2 Teaspoons salt
1 Egg
In a small sauce pan heat the milk, water and butter on med heat until 120 degrees, not boiling like I did so that you have to wait 25 minutes till it actually comes down to 120 degrees. 120 degrees is what this needs to be so that it can make the yeast react and not kill it.
In a large bowl mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Mix the milk mixture into the flour mixture and then add the egg. Stir in the remaining flour half a cup at a time. By the time you get to the end of the flour you are gonna have biceps that are screaming- ignore it, this is good for you! Once the dough has pulled together~ meaning you try to stir it and it is one big mass, turn the bowl on it's side and dump the dough onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for like 8 to 10 minutes- I did for 12 minutes but only cause I had my Ipod hooked up to this really cool stereo thingy and I could listen to all my cool music and I wanted to get thru my Alicia keys song.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, shape into smooth balls and place on greased baking sheet, flatten slightly and cover, let rise for 30 to 35 minutes.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes- I baked mine for more like 15 minutes.
For Hotdog buns shape each piece of dough into a 6x4 rectangle Starting with the longer side, roll up tightly and pinch edges and ends to seal. Let rise for about 20 to 25 minutes.. I made 15 of these I could have gotten about 18 I bet- but hey.. trial by error right? Either way these were very good and the kids and B loved them! give'em a try!
