30 Days of Bread: Soft Sandwich Buns

A friend gave me this hamburger bun recipe.  It was a pretty cold day so they didn't rise as high as I would have liked.  The texture and taste were awesome.  I'm definitely making these again!

Soft Sandwich Buns

1 1/4 cup lukewarm milk
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp. butter
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 3/4 cup bread flour
1 1/4 tsp. yeast

Put the above ingredients in your bread machine pan.  Select dough cycle.

When dough cycle is finished, turn dough onto lightly floured surface and punch down.  Allow dough to rest for 15 minutes.  Then, divide in half.  Roll each section to 3/4 inch thickness.  Cut rolls with a 3 inch biscuit cutter or glass.  Place rolls on lightly greased baking sheets.  Brush tops with 1 Tbsp. butter, melted.  Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.  (It was really cold in the house when I made these so they were flatter buns)

Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until the buns are lightly browned.

Makes 12-14 hamburger sized rolls.
