So I’m on this quest to make everything from home. I’ve tackled some big things I didn’t know could be made from home…well, I only knew them from a box. When I was introduced to homemade tortillas from a friend I just loved them and knew I could find recipes for things that always seem to come in a package or box from the store. Brownies, cake, garlic bread, sandwich bread, etc are amazing from scratch!<\/p>\n

\nI thought hamburger buns would hard to do.   <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nWell guess what??<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n <\/b>They are SO EASY<\/b>.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nLike, easier than regular bread. Really? <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nYES!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n I literally googled the recipe and one popped up that seemed great. It had great reviews too.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI guess they were right. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nEasy as pie! Well, easier than pie actually \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMore great news. There’s no HFCS attached or any yucky preservatives that could harm your health.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n They taste great too.<\/div>\n

Homemade Hamburger Buns<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\n2 tbsp active dry yeast
\n1 cup plus 2 tbsp warm water (110-115 degrees)
\n1\/3 cup oil (I used olive oil…coconut would be good too)
\n1\/4 cup sugar
\n1 egg
\n1 tsp salt
\n3 to 3 1\/2 cups all-purpose flour<\/p>\n

1. In large bowl dissolve yeast in water. Add oil and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes.
\n2. Add the egg, salt, and enough flour to form a soft dough.
\n3. Knead on a floured surface until soft and elastic, about 3-5 minutes.
\n4. Divide into 12 balls (I did 10…12 seems more like sliders almost).
\n5. Place 3 inches apart on greased baking sheet.
\n6. Cover and let rise for 10 minutes (I might do 20 next time for a little fluffier but 10 was still great).
\n7. Uncover and bake at 425 degrees 8-12 minutes (12 minutes was perfect for me).<\/p>\n

And that’s it! Start to finish took about 30-40 minutes. Yes, amazing. Obviously it will take longer if I let them rise longer. I think it will make them bigger without making less buns and that’d be great cause that means less calories per bun. Anyways, the real test is the hubby. I made sloppy joe’s and he gave great reviews!! They were also fantastic because normally the bun falls apart and makes a mess with sloppy joe’s, but these stayed together which was nice.<\/p>\n

***UPDATE:<\/b> I now do 12 buns<\/b> each time at least and let them rise for about 30 minutes. They turn out lighter and larger. They are even more perfect :)***<\/b><\/p>\n

Nutrition Facts:<\/b> (1 serving, 10 total) *If you make 12 buns then it’s 200 calories each.

\nCarbs: 38.4 grams
\nProtein: 5 grams

240 mg sodium
\n5 grams sugar<\/p>\n

Cost: <\/b>$0.55 (<\/b>Jackpot!) You get the benefits of a quality bread but without paying a huge price. You cannot tell me it’s crazy expensive to eat healthy…and this is another recipe to prove it!<\/p>\n
