I use 2 T of instant yeast for these and it works beautifully. Kimberly, I had to share that I use this recipe for bread as well. Sometimes I cut a bit of the oil, but it makes a fantastic loaf that my husband says is as moist as potato bread. So sometimes I make a whole recipe – make a tray of buns, and put the rest into loaf pans. I bake the buns first while the loaves rise, reduce the temp and bake the loaves at 350-375 for about 40 minutes (9×5 loaf).

Oh my! These are delicious! I pinned this recipe awhile ago. I needed something quick for dinner tonight and remembered it. I was low on whole wheat so I used about half all purpose plus some wheat germ and wh wheat pastry flour. My boys and I snacked on some right out of the oven. We will surely be making these again. (I also halved the recipe and used 1 egg. It made 20 buns with the regular canning jar lid.)

Just had these with our BBQ roast sandwiches. My husband said don’t buy anymore buns from the store. These are our new hamburger buns! Yummo! Thank you!

Thank you, Thank you!!! This recipe has rocked my world! We don’t have access to grocery stores around here, so when company drops by unannounced I am often in a panic. Now I can just whip up your recipe, while my husband lights the charcoal grill and prepares the hamburgers. We have also started using it for sandwiches when when we have run out of homemade bread loaves.

I’ve made these a couple of times, now, and they’re just as awesome as everyone says!! I just have to share how I shaped the hot dog buns. I used the same wide mouth jar to cut them out and then rolled them out into an oval. I made them thinner than I thought they should be (which turned out just right!) then folded them over lengthwise and rolled over the fold a little, too. Let them raise the 1o minutes and baked for 10-15. Perfect! They’re just the right size and will even split just right if you open them carefully. Thanks again for the recipe! I may never buy buns again!

I just made these buns, they are delicious. My daughter is begging me for more. We had one fresh from the oven with just butter on it. I rolled them a little thinner then a 1/2” then I folded it in half, then I cut them out. When there were done cooking they pulled apart with no problem. Can’t wait for supper to night. Thank you for the recipe. It is a life saver. From a mom of four and growing.

Made 1/3 recipe and cut with 2″ biscuit cutter for easy to eat grilled chicken sandwiches. (boneless chicken breasts, grilled, then sliced thin) I’ll may never buy buns again. My daughter makes the full recipe of buns for her family of six and freezes the baked buns. Delicious when thawed. I like making sour dough bread, using whole wheat flour, to make sandwich rolls. These are much faster!

Alicia, we also LOVE this recipe but I hadn’t thought of making cinnamon rolls with it. I think I’ll try it now after your post. I see you’re from Cookeville; I have some really good friends in Gainesboro. Beautiful area.

Kimberly, I realize you posted this recipe a long time ago, but I just had to add that today we made CINNAMON ROLLS with this dough, and they were fantastic!!!! Been loving the buns for everyday sandwiches for months now, but I suddenly realized the dough seemed great for rolls too!! I subbed melted butter for the oil and went heavy on the whole wheat, I think 75% of the flour and threw in some flax seed for myself to feel better about serving such a sweet treat to my kids for breakfast. Thanks so much for saving the day…my 5 yr old loves this bfast, and it was great to be able to treat him this morning without having to make the dough the night before. The hamburger buns freeze great, so I’m sure the baked cinnamon rolls will too! Many thanks…Alicia in Cookeville, TN

The verdict is in…haha. My husband is pretty picky when it comes to whole wheat bread. I’ve had a hard time coming up with a recipe that is light and fluffy enough. He really loved these buns. We’re using them for sandwiches as well. Thank you again!

I made these today and they were really good. And I think my husband will love them too!

I’m so excited to try this! We eat a lot of garlic bread and I make mine with hamburger buns to save money, this will help save even more! It is so good if you want to try: Cut 6 buns in half, so each bun makes 4 small pieces. Melt 2 sticks of butter in the microwave, then stir in 1 tbsp of garlic powder and 1 tbsp oregano. Mix it up, then pour into a pan, the kind with sides of course, or else it will pour off the edges. Put the buns face down in the butter, and swish them around until they soak it all up. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes. They turn out so crispy and buttery and delicious!

[...] 28, 2010 in Uncategorized I made these great hamburger buns tonight. The recipe came from the Raising Olives blog. They really are fast, abundant, and easy. I used the honey option and four cups of whole wheat [...]

Thanks Veronica. I use all-purpose flour when we make these.

By: Veronica

Veronica — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:14:42 +0000

Should I be using bread flour or regular all-purpose flour? I have both so it’s no inconvenience, I just want them to come out right. Thanks loads for the recipe (even if I did find it much later than it’s original posting).

Thanks Donna. It should be tablespoons of both.

I can’t wait to make your recipe but I have to question whether I am to use 6 Tablespoons of yeast and 1 Tablespoon of salt or am I to use 6 teaspoons/1 teaspoon? Thanks

These are the BEST buns I’ve ever made. I tell all my friends they have to make them. I cut the recipe in half, using 1 egg is perfect, knead for 3 minutes on 2 in my KitchenAid mixer. I turned down the oven to 400 and cooked for 3 minutes longer. Get 20+ buns of various sizes. (For our various size people in the family.) The little ones love having their “own” bun without cutting it in half. My kids say the leftovers make the best ham buns for lunch too and they don’t taste stale like store-bought. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe.

I’m very excited about this. My hubby’s birthday is Thursday and he requested a “gourmet” chili dog dinner. I thought of this recipe for buns. Do you shape these differently when you make hot dogs? Thanks!

These were perfect, thanks! Used 2tbsp of flax seed ground up and 5tbsp of water to replace the egg, also used honey and they still turned out great! Was able to get 12 large hamburger buns and 4 hot dog rolls out of half the recipe, so quick and so much better than the store bought stuff. Yummy!

I only realized after mixing ingredients I only had 3 packs of yeast. So I just continued with it to see how it turned out. Well it taste like fresh bread and not buns but at least it’s edible except for the rising pan that was awaiting the space in my little oven. ((kids decided to dump a little water..note to self: don’t leave bread alone in kitchen)) thank you very much. Since I’m pregnant and I love white bread more than wheat for some reason…this kind I can deal with.I did it with bread and wheat but the bread flour is made with wheat so I’m getting enough for sure. I’ll be make some more for the freezer. This time I’m waiting till kids are asleep.

We love Homemade Burger buns at our house and yours look so yummy! They are so delicious and the kids get really excited when I make them. They are so simple, my kids have made them before. I’ve used a recipe from King Arthur Flour Company called Moomie’s beautiful Burger Buns and have made them with wheat before, but as you stated they are somewhat heavier. I don’t use a bread machine because I love to feel the dough in my hands, so I don’t always pay attention to how much flour I put in – just do it until it “feels” right! Drives my family nutty!

We love to cut ours in half and grill them. I’ve heard you can make hot dog buns from this as well, but we don’t eat that many hotdogs.
