Bread, hamburger buns & hot dog buns.

[William769]

Do you buy yours or make your own?

I only ask is because I have made my own bread for years in a bread machine (actually I just use the dough cycle then form, raise then bake in my oven. I found a recipe to make dough for hamburger buns/hot dog buns & decided to use dough cycle for the dough, then shape, rise & bake.

Not only does it taste great, it saves money. Bread products have sky rocketed lately, at least where I live.

1. If you could, would you please re-post this in the "Groups"/Home & Family/

Cooking & Baking category. I'll bet you'll get a lot of responses there.

:hi:

2. Sure.

3. Nadine gave a bread recipe earlier this year -

I tried it and it worked well - except I didn't knead the bread as much as I needed. :D And the bread came out kind of heavy and thick.

But I buy bread once ever two weeks or so and stick it in the freezer, as I don't eat much of it anymore - at least on a daily basis. I've really cut down on the refined carbohydrates, since they contribute very little value nutritionally and make you fat.

For hot dogs, I just use a slice of bread. I don't make hamburgers at home, but if I did, I would probably buy hamburger buns.

Here is Nadine's post from July:

5. I don't but my partner does....refuses to use a bread machine though....

He make great bread, buns, and rolls and a braided cream cheese bread I'd fight for. I do most of the rest of the cooking but he's definitely the baker.

6. " braided cream cheese"

That sounds awesome!

[Rowdyboy]

9. Stuffed with sweetened cream cheese it is flawless.....

He's making it Christmas because we're spending the holidays with his ex-wife and her family (what can I say we're a "modern family").

7. I've heard Rowdyboy rant..

About how he just loves his partners buns.

8. You are a very evil person.....

I knew there was some reason I liked you so much! :hug:

11. He kicks serious butt on a dance floor....

Not bad for a self-proclaimed "geezer"

14. That's what I miss about TX and SoCal

I dearly love to dance; two-step, east and west coast swing, Lindy. Sadly, my beloved is so self-conscious he won't consider stepping out onto a dance floor, but he doesn't mind if I go grab someone to cut a rug with whilst he watches. It's a shame really; he's still got the cutest butt and I'd love to watch him shake it :)

12. That's the same technique I use.

Make dough in bread machine, take it out after the punch-down, and bench-proof it on stove in regular pan before baking.

I use the same basic technique for hamburger buns because I found one mug in our cupboard that makes the perfect sized dough cutter, but have yet to find a good way to make hot dog buns the same way.

We've made our own bread for four years and it's not only a lot cheaper it tastes better.

13. For hot dog buns I use a corn on the cob holder.

For the hamburger buns I have a soup cup that works perfectly.

15. Never thought of a corn holder.

Will see if I have one of those in the backs of cabinets.
