40-Minute Hamburger Buns

2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (110° to 115°)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil and sugar; let stand
for 5 minutes. Add the egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn
onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3-5 minutes. Do not
let rise. Divide into 12 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place 3 in. apart on
greased baking sheets. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Bake at 425° for
8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Yield: 1 dozen.
