40 Minute Hamburger Buns/Rolls

March 25, 2009

This is one of the first recipes I posted. I love this recipe and back then not many people were reading my blog, so I decided to repost this one. I use it all the time and I thought many of you would enjoy it also.

It is my quick and easy bun/roll recipe. I use it when I need a quick bread product for dinner, but do not have a lot of time. My sister first told me about this recipe a few years ago and I have been making it ever since.

What I love about this recipe is you can do so much with it. You can make them healthier using part whole wheat or use all regular all purpose flour if you prefer. I do both.

You can make them small and use them as dinner rolls or you can make them large and use them as buns for hamburgers or chicken sandwiches.

I even use it to make a cheese bread.

40 Minute Whole Wheat Rolls work for me.
40 Minute Whole Wheat Rolls

2 tablespoons yeast

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm

1/3 cup oil

1/4 cup sugar

1 egg

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 1/2 – 2 cups all purpose flour

Dissolve yeast in water. Add oil and sugar. Let stand 5 minutes. Add egg, salt, and enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, adding remaining flour as needed. Do not let rise. Divide into 12 pieces, shape each into a ball. Place about 3 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
I make this in my Kitchen Aid stand mixer.

This is brilliant, and they look so good! Have you ever tried freezing some of them? I am only cooking for two, but it’s annoying (and usually wasteful) to have to use only part of an egg. (If you haven’t tried it, I might do it anyway, and could report back!) Thanks!

Jes, I have not tried freezing this recipe. We don’t usually have leftovers. :) But I have frozen other homemade bread products and they freeze fine, so I think this one would also. Just wrap well so they don’t freezer burn.

Nancy, I would make them and then wrap them in plastic wrap. Maybe one or two together, then place all of them in a ziploc bag. I hope that helps.

I have not made bread without using sugar but my husband has been diagnosed with diabetes. Would these work without the sugar? Thanks!!

Karyn, you need sugar to make the yeast work unless you are using an overnight or sourdough recipe. I would suggest using honey in place of the sugar. Spenda may also work, but I have never tried that. Also increasing the ww in this recipe would lower the carb amount. I hope that helps. Let me know if you try it and if it works.

Do these work if I use my bread machine?

Janell, I don’t have a bread machine, so I am not sure. I am guessing it would work fine, but I am really not sure. If you try it, let me know how it works.

I will try them this week and let you know how they turn out. I need to buy some whole wheat flour. My son loves rolls so I am sure he will love these! I am always worried when I try to make bread because I live at 7500ft above sea level! I haven’t had anything turn out horrible yet :)
