40 minute hamburger buns

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 30 minutes
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons active dry yeast

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (about 110 degrees)

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup sugar

1 large egg (beaten)

1 teaspoon salt

3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 egg yolk

1 TBSP water

2 TBSP sesame seeds

Directions

Add yeast and warm water to a large bowl. Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, mixture should be foamy.

Whisk in egg. Slowly mix in the salt and flour. Continue to add flour until you have a soft dough.

Using a dough hook, knead in a mixer for 3-5 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. (If you don't want to use a mixer, you can knead by hand on a lightly floured surface.) Do not let rise. Divide into 8 equal pieces; shape each into a ball. Do not let the dough rise.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the dough balls on a greased or lined baking sheet. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, brush the buns with an egg was, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake until golden brown, 8-12 minutes.
