Recipe: Homemade Burger Buns (makes 20, Fleishmann's Yeast recipe)

HOMEMADE BURGER BUNS



1/2 cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees F)
2 packages Fleischmann's Active Dry Yeast
3/4 cup warm milk (100 to 110 degrees F)
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 1/2 tablespoons dried minced onion (optional)
2 teaspoons salt
4 3/4 to 5 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
Dried minced onion or poppy seed (optional, for garnish)

Place 1/2 cup warm water in large warm bowl. Sprinkle in yeast; stir until dissolved. Add warm milk, sugar, butter, 1 1/2 tablespoons minced onions (if desired), salt, and 2 cups flour; blend well.

Stir in 2 eggs and enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4 to 6 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.

Punch dough down. Remove dough to lightly floured surface; divide into 8 equal pieces. Form each piece into smooth ball. Place on large greased baking sheet. Flatten balls to 4-inch rounds; cover. Let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 20 to 40 minutes.

Lightly beat remaining egg; brush on rolls. If desired, sprinkle with minced onions or poppy seed.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes or until done. Remove from baking sheet; let cool on wire rack.
