I want to try THESE:
they look amazing and wonderful.......... and perfect for pulled pork!
so i took the recipe
Egg Bread Buns
Adapted from a recipe for Egg Bread in The Bread Biblemakes 6 large buns
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup warm water
1 large egg
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
2 cups bread flour
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 1/4 tsp. yeast
Directions
Place all ingredients in a bread machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Program for the Dough cycle and press Start.Lightly dust a pizza stone with cornmeal (if you don’t have a pizza stone, you may line a baking sheet with parchment paper instead). After the bread machine finishes, remove the dough and place on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 6 equal portions for hamburger/sandwich buns or 7 equal portions for hot dog buns. Form the hamburger/sandwich buns into tight rounds. If making hot dog buns, roll into tight rounds and then flatten into ovals by rolling up each portion tightly to make a cylinder. Place the buns on the pizza stone (or baking sheet) at least 1 inch apart. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and let stand for 40-50 minutes. If buns have not risen to desired size, allow to rise for an additional 15-25 minutes, depending on desired size.
Twenty minutes prior to baking, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the pizza stone in the center of the oven and bake until lightly browned, 15-22 minutes, depending on the size of the roll. Start checking the buns at 11 minutes to be safe. Remove immediately to a cooling rack and cool thoroughly before slicing.
Enjoy!
and realized i don't have a bread machine......... so i read farther down in the blog for further directions.............
To make the dough by hand, combine 2/3 of the flour along with the other dry ingredients in a large bowl, form a well in the center and pour in the wet ingredients. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet with a wooden spoon, whisk, fork or your hand. Your goal at this point is to create a smooth and creamy mixture. Once this is accomplished, try not to over-mix. Mix in the remaining flour, bit by bit, until the dough is sturdy enough for kneading. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for approximately 5-10 minutes, until the dough bounces back when lightly pressed. Lightly cover the dough at this point with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let sit until doubled in size. Once doubled in size, follow the directions above and form the buns.
I hope this helps you make the dough by hand. I’d really appreciate it if you can share how these instructions worked for this dough. Good luck and enjoy!
