Hamburger Buns

Ingredients for Hamburger Buns

• 475 ml Vollmilch

• 60 ml warmes Wasser (41-8°C)

• 2 (5g) packages active dry yeast

• 50g plus 1/2 teaspoons sugar, divided

• 1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces and softened

• 2 große Eier, leicht geschlagen

• 1 Esslöffel Salz

• 750g plain flour, divided

• 1 large egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water for egg wash

• a stand mixer with paddle and dough-hook attachments

• a 3-inch round biscuit cutter

Bring milk to a bare simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and cool to 105 to 46°C.

Meanwhile, stir together warm water, yeast, and 1/2 teaspoons sugar in mixer bowl until yeast has dissolved. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)

Add butter, warm milk, and remaining 60ml sugar to yeast mixture and mix with paddle attachment at low speed until butter has melted, then mix in eggs until combined well. Add salt and 500g flour and mix, scraping down side of bowl as necessary, until flour is incorporated. Beat at medium speed 1 minute.

Switch to dough hook and beat in remaining 250g flour at medium speed until dough pulls away from side of bowl, about 2 minutes; if necessary, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat 5 minutes more. (Dough will be sticky.)

Transfer dough to a lightly oiled large bowl and turn to coat. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm draft-free place until doubled, about 2 1/2 hours.

Butter 2 large baking sheets. Punch down dough, then roll out on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 14-inch round (about 1/2 inch thick). Cut out as many rounds as possible with floured cutter and arrange 3 inches apart on baking sheets. Gather and reroll scraps, then cut out more rounds.

Loosely cover buns with oiled plastic wrap and let rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until they hold a finger mark when gently poked, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Den Ofen auf 191°C vorheizen, Roste im oberen und unteren Drittel platzieren.

Brush buns with egg wash and bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until tops are golden and undersides are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped, 14 to 20 minutes. Transfer to racks to cool completely.
