I wanted to update my review. I have now made this with half hard wheat flour and half white and it is still great. I also sometimes only make 8 buns out of this recipe and stretch them out a big to make a wider hamburger bun, which makes a bigger wider bun. Still wonderful! I think I will experiment a little to see if I can get away with using less yeast though.

First time making hamburger rolls and they were fantastic :) sturdy enough for a burger, but not too much like "bread" either. My bf has said he'd be ok with us not buying buns any more if I made them lol :) next time I'll 'flatten' my balls a little more first so they're less 'round' though, just for personal taste :) otherwise great!

This is my first time making it and I messed up. I will try it again though. They didn't turn out, but they taste delicious.

My husband said he wanted sloppy joes for dinner. It was already 4:30pm. My usual recipe for buns takes about 3 hours. I googled and came up with this.

I followed the recipe pretty much exactly. I even did it by hand since my kitchenaid bowl was dirty. I think this helped. I ended up working probably at least a cup of flour in when kneading because it was really soft.

The buns were sooooo good. I scarfed down 3 joes, and I am usually a one or two joe girl. They are a great bun texture too, meaning a tighter crumb than a dinner roll for sure. They turned out light and fluffy.

I think you could try wheat and other types of flour, as well as mixing in things, like herbs, onions, topping with sesame, sundried tomatoes. Depends on what you are making them for.

I plan on freezing the leftovers and using again. I'll just defrost and warm them in the oven. The buns were about 4 inches in diameter, and about 2 or 3 inches high after baking, by the way.

I am keeping this recipe! In about 30 minutes we were eating. I see no need for store bought buns ever again!

Very tasty! They were super easy and you don't just have to use them for hamburger buns. We used them for dinner rolls and everyone loved them.

This works so well for hamburgers and even chicken sandwiches.

Great recipe for cooks who are a little uneasy working with yeast, I make these buns at least twice a month.

I am an idiot when it comes to baking bread, and these rolls came out SO good!! I will never buy hamburger buns again. SO easy!!

These were the hit of the party! So easy to make...everyone wondered where I had bought the 'special buns'! I made them for my dad's 80th birthday party...We had a Route 66 theme, so the buns were perfect for our Mom's Diner! THANKS!!!

I make different breads often. I am always looking for new recipes to try. I will have to say is this recipe is amazing. My husband loves them and says he would definitely love these again. I made 12 and they came out just right for my family. I figure if were are still hungry we can always have another one. =)
