Hamburger Buns

I have just discovered a WONDERFUL hamburger bun recipe and wanted to share.. These are great, and adding 1/2 tsp extra yeast makes them even more fluffier.

In the following order, add these to bread machine pan
3 tbsp. butter, softened
3/4 cup lukewarm milk
1/4 + 1 tbsp. lukewarm water
1/4 cup dried potato flakes
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. sugar
2 1/2 tsp. instant yeast

Put ingredients into bread pan. Set machine on dough cycle and start. Remove dough and divide into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth round ball and flatten the balls with the palm of your hand till they are 4-inches in diameter. Keep tops smooth. Place the rolls on a lightly greased sheet. Cover lightly and set aside to raise till they are very puffy - about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Spread some melted butter on top for a more tan colored top. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes. Watch carefully because each oven and baking pan is different. Remove to a rack to cool. Serve warm or when cooled.

*I used a stoneware baking sheet and they got brown after 15 minutes. Also, could fit all 8 on one sheet quite nicely.
