What a hamburger bun should be. Substantial enough to handle a big burger with lots of toppings and yet have an excellent flavor all of its own. (And yes, it really does call for 1 cup of oil)
6 cups flour
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups water (warm)
1 tablespoon yeast
2 eggs, well beaten
1 cup oil
Dissolve yeast in water with a pinch of sugar.
Mix in with other ingredients.
Knead for 10 minutes on a floured surface.
Let rise until doubled in bulk (about 45 minutes).
Punch down and let rise again.
Punch down and form into bun shapes (hamburger or hot dog).
Make them on the small side as they do raise more when you bake them.
Let rise until double.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.
Let cool until just warm to the touch; place in a sealed bag to soften crust.
Makes 16-20 hamburger rolls.
NOTE: I usually cut this in half.
Double wrap and freeze any remaining ones.
Easy Good Homemade Hot Dog Buns Recipe
WAY better than the mushy store-bought ones!!! Had that frozen bread dough in the freezer and thought...why not? Ha! They came out GREAT!! 1 loaf made 6 large buns, too!!! DH LOVED these! Guess I'm going to be making them ';homemade'; from now on! LOL! This ';recipe'; is more for the directions...not much to it, but GOOOOOD!
1 loaf frozen bread dough, I used a cheap brand but you could use Rhodes
3 tablespoons melted butter, more if needed
poppy seeds (optional)
The night before, tightly wrap 1 frozen loaf bread dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Next morning, unwrap and cut loaf lengthwise down center.
Cut each long piece into 3 equal sections making 6 equal pieces total.
Pinch cut edges together so buns will eventually come out smooth, and roll into small ropes. *They should be about the size of a cooked hotdog.
Place on greased cookie sheet.
Brush with half the melted butter.
Cover lightly with plastic wrap, sealing the edges of the plastic wrap to the cookie sheet so that no air gets inside.
Let rise in warm place til doubled. (Mine took about 2 1/2 hours.).
Lightly brush each with rest of melted butter and sprinkle with poppy seeds if desired.
Bake in 350潞 oven for about 20 minutes til golden brown. You may want to turn your cookie sheet around half-way through baking for even browning of your buns.
Cool on wire rack for about 5-10 minutes.
Cut open with SHARP serrated knife.

Don't know about heating up the house but try this
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups milk -- scalded
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
2 packages yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water (approx. 90 degrees)
Scald milk; cool to lukewarm (approx. 90 degrees). Dissolve yeast in 1/4
cup lukewarm water. Add to milk. Add sugar, eggs, salt and oil. Add
flour. Stir until all is blended. Dough will be sticky. Let rise for
about 1 1/2 hours. Shape dough into desired shape. Let rise and bake at
350 degrees until golden brown. (12 to 20 minutes--depending on size)

NOTES : I like to make cloverleaf dinner rolls with this dough. Grease
muffin tin. Make small walnut size balls by rolling in palms of hands.
This dough is sticky; so inorder to handle the dough, flour palms of hand
while rolling into balls. Place three balls in each muffin tin. Let
rise until doubled. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
I agree about buying the frozen bread/rolls and baking those up. They are excellent.
Consider making biscuits, they don't bake as long or need time to rise.
you're going to have to heat up the house. It's just the way of things, you have to bake the bread.
But, here's what I do. For a small batch- you'll want to do a small one since you'll have to knead by hand- I take a half cup of lukewarm water and dissolve in 1 pkg of active dry yeast. Add a few squirts of honey or a teaspoon of sugar, a half teaspoon of salt and about 3 tbsp oil. Stir in bread flour, by hand, until you have a thick dough, turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 5- 10 minutes until it's very smooth and pliable and not sticky (add flour as needed) Then, allow to rest and double in size, covered in an oiled bowl. Deflate the dough, and cut into evenly sized pieces. Tuck all the edges under tightly to form little balls, place on a sheet pan and allow to rise again, they should double in size (about). Bake at 375 until golden brown, rub the tops with butter and allow to cool for 10 or 15 minutes. ENJOY!

First, you need heat to raise the dough, unless you make it with baking powder and not yeast ( which is actually biscuits not bread). Try using frozen bread dough, it's become very convenient and dependable. Thaw the dough, roll out, spread with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar. Roll up like for pinwheel cookies. Cut about 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick. Lay cut side down into a greased 9X13 pan. Cover with a linen towel and let raise until doubled in size. Bake 350 deg. for 25-30 minutes.
There is a book that stands as the classic reference for bread making, from learning the basics to exploring all types of different breads.
Bernard Claytons New Complete Book of Breads
I own an old edition of his original Complete Book of Breads, which helped me learn to make simple breads, including dinner rolls and buns, to focaccia and cibatta.
