This is a simple potato bread recipe, mixed in a bread machine, that makes one dozen hot dog or hamburger buns, or could be used for rolls. The crust bakes very light brown, and the bread has a very smooth texture inside. These are egg-, milk-, and soy-free, which is nearly impossible to find in store-bought buns. These freeze very well for later use, and pre-sliced frozen buns defrost easily in a toaster or microwave. Preparation time assumes 5 minute ingredient assembly, 50 minute single-rise dough cycle, 5 minute dough shaping, and 15 minute rise. Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups water |
4 cups bread flour |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 1/4 teaspoons salt |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 cup potato flakes |
1 3/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast |
Directions:
1. Add the ingredients in order to bread machine pan.
2. Set on dough setting.
3. After first rise, remove dough (do not let it rise a second time in the machine!).
4. Divide dough into 12 equal parts (or more, depending on the size bun you need).
5. To shape hot dog buns: roll dough between hands until roughly the diameter and length of a hot dog.
6. To shape hamburger buns: flatten dough ball into roughly the shape of a hamburger.
7. Place shaped dough on a large baking sheet that has been covered with parchment paper. This makes for very easy removal and clean up!
8. Preheat oven to 375°F.
9. Allow dough to rise for 15 minutes while oven preheats.
10. Bake buns for 15-20 minutes, or until tops turn light golden brown.
11. Allow buns to cool slightly before slicing.
12. Buns may be frozen.
13. To defrost, toast in a bagel-friendly toaster or microwave for approximately 20 seconds.
