Amazing sandwich buns in 60 minutes ~ Secret Recipe Club

20120820-103340.jpg
Secret Recipe Club time again. This month I was assigned Wives with Knives. What a clever name for a food blog. Cathy had so many great recipes to choose from, and I’m so glad I was introduced to her blog. She lives in Oregon, grew up on a farm, and shares many recipes that have been handed down through her family. Cathy also is a vendor at a local farmer’s market selling roasted and glazed nuts, granola and trail mixes. How cool is that?

I bookmarked a few recipes for future use….cranberry buckle, brioche loaves, and lemony slice and bakes were all begging to be made. I decided I’d be a bit more practical and make these homemade sandwich buns! I love homemade bread and rolls, and couldn’t wait to try these. Especially since they can be made in 60 minutes! Cathy shares that this is a very popular recipe in the blogosphere, and I can see why. Make sure you click over…visit Cathy’s blog and check out her pictures. They definitely scream to be made! And you’ll never want to buy a store bought bun again!

I was excited to read her tip of using the digital scale when portioning out the rolls. I finally just got my digital food scale a couple months ago, and can’t believe how much I use it!! I thought it’d mainly be for baking, but never thought I’d use it everyday. My husband bought it to measure his food to track for weight watchers, and I find myself doing the same. I love how easy it is to track my food intake using the food scale, and have dropped a few more pounds as a result. It’s been neat to see the grams versus ounces, and am surprised how much cheese is in half an ounce. It goes far when I finely grate it.

Recipe type: Bread
Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 14
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp honey or sugar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 4½ cups flour
  • 1 package instant yeast (2¼ teaspoons)
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • 1 beaten egg yolk
  • Sesame and poppy seeds for sprinkling on top before baking, optional
Instructions
  1. Heat the milk, water, honey and butter until butter is melted. Check temperature and let cool to 120 F. Carefully beat in egg.
  2. Place 2 cups of the flour, yeast and salt into your mixing bowl. I used my stand mixer. Mix with the paddle until combined. Add in the milk mixture and mix till just combined.
  3. Add in the rest of the flour, ½ cup at a time. Beat well after each addition.
  4. Switch to dough hook, and on number 2 setting knead dough for 5 minutes. Dough will no longer be sticky.
  5. Divide dough into 14 equal parts using the kitchen scale. Mine were about 2.5 ounces each.
  6. Shape dough into smooth balls, flatten slightly and place onto oiled cookie sheet. Let rise until doubled, about 30-40 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 400.
  8. If desired, after buns have risen, brush tops with beaten egg yolk for a shiny glaze. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before baking.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, and remove when slightly brown. Place cookie sheet on cooling rack to cool.

  5. Love WWK! Her blog is fantastic! I think you are right – it’s so much better to make your own, especially when it is only 60 min. Plus – it will be good to use my food scale more often 🙂

    Is it just me or does the ingredient list say nothing about water and sugar twice. should I assume the sugar is supposed to be water?
