Loaf of bread made without dairy or iodized salt. |
Hamburger Buns or Dinner Rolls
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
I used the kitchen aid mixer first using the flat beater.
In the mixing bowl combine warm water (not too hot), yeast, sugar, oil, salt and 2 cups of the flour. Start mixing gradually adding another cup of flour. At this point, I change to the dough hook and mix in another cup of flour. I set the timer and let the mixer with the dough hook knead the dough for 5 minutes. If the dough is a little sticky you can add a little more flour until the dough doesn't stick to the side of the bowl. Then cover the bowl with some plastic wrap and let it rise for about an hour or more until it has doubled in size.
I then punched down the dough and poured it out on a slightly greased surface. I flattened out the dough and cut into equal pieces. Each piece gets rolled into a ball and placed on a greased baking sheet. I actually got out the food scale and weighed the rolled ball so each was the same size. For the hamburger buns I made them 3 oz. and dinner rolls I made them 1 oz.
Cover the dough and let them rise again on the baking sheet. The picture shows them all on one sheet, but I actually raised them on two baking sheets. It takes another hour until they get to the size you want. Bake in a preheated oven (400 degrees) for 14 minutes.
The Thanksgiving dinner rolls. The batch made 30 rolls. |
