I've never EVER been as impressed with a roll recipe as I am with this one. I've made a lot of bread recipes over the years, so it really takes something special to get that kind of a response out of me. Honestly, I don't make hamburger buns very often, unless I really don't feel like going to the store and I'm running short on time, in which case I have my go-to 40 Minute Hamburger Buns. It's far more likely that I'll just grab a cheap bag of buns from the grocery store. I'm not sure what it was about this recipe that caught my eye, maybe I was just in the mood to try out a new bread recipe- it's been awhile since I worked with yeast other than my favorite white bread recipe. Whatever the reason, I set to work on these yesterday afternoon so I'd have them ready for dinner last night. Ohmygosh you guys...these rolls are everything a hamburger bun should be. I think they'd make wonderful hot dog buns too! They're soft and fluffy, so they don't overwhelm the burger filling at all. They're squishy and pillowy but totally strong enough to do their job, and do it well. They have a beautifully shiny exterior. They are lovely. When it comes to burger buns you really want something along the lines of a sturdy cloud, right? Delicate and anything but tough- yet enough to hold their own and not disintegrate when they get a little juicy. Not scratchy, not dry. These buns are all of that. Don't let the number of steps scare you off, they're really quite simple to make. :-) I just can't say enough good things about them! P.S. Just a tip if you find yourself baking with yeast regularly, I LOVE buying yeast in bulk. No keeping track of those little packets or even the little glass jars. I've only had to buy two of these ever and both times it has lasted me well over a year and I've never had any issues with it not being active when I bake. I keep it in the back of my fridge. The first time I stored it in tupperware, the second time in a freezer bag, and both times the yeast cost me less than $5. I've found it at restaurant supply stores, grocery stores, and online and it is WELL worth the purchase if you use yeast often! Homemade Hamburger Buns From Allrecipes.com 1 (.25 oz) package active dry yeast 3 1/3 C all-purpose flour, or as needed - divided 1 C warm water (105 degrees F/41 degrees C) 1 large egg 3 Tbsp butter, melted 3 Tbsp white sugar 1 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp olive oil 1 egg, beaten 1 Tbsp milk 1 tsp sesame seeds, or as needed (optional) 1. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. 2. Place yeast into bowl of a large stand mixer; whisk in 1/2 cup flour and warm water until smooth. Let stand until mixture is foamy, 10 to 15 minutes. 3. Whisk 1 egg, melted butter, sugar, and salt thoroughly into yeast mixture. Add remaining flour (about 3 cups). 4. Fit a dough hook onto stand mixer and knead the dough on low speed until soft and sticky, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape sides if needed. Poke and prod the dough with a silicone spatula; if large amounts of dough stick to the spatula, add a little more flour. 5. Transfer dough onto a floured work surface; dough will be sticky and elastic but not stick to your fingers. Form the dough lightly into a smooth, round shape, gently tucking loose ends underneath. 6. Wipe out stand mixer bowl, drizzle olive oil into the bowl, and turn dough over in the bowl several times to coat surface thinly with oil. Cover bowl with aluminum foil. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours. 7. Transfer dough to a floured work surface and pat to flatten bubbles and form into a slightly rounded rectangle of dough about 5x10 inches and about 1/2 inch thick. Dust dough lightly with flour if needed. Cut dough into 12 equal pieces. Form each piece into a round shape, gently tucking ends underneath as before. 8. Use your hands to gently pat and stretch the dough rounds into flat disc shapes about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange buns about 1/2 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Dust buns very lightly with flour. Drape a piece of plastic wrap over the baking sheet (do not seal tightly). Let buns rise until doubled, about 1 hour. 9. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 10. Beat 1 egg with milk in a small bowl, using a fork, until mixture is thoroughly combined. Very gently and lightly brush tops of buns with egg wash without deflating the risen dough. Sprinkle each bun with sesame seeds. 11. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on top, 15 to 17 minutes. Buns will stick together slightly where they touch. Let cool completely, tear the buns apart, and slice in half crosswise to serve.

Do you know what's weird? I grew up in California and definitely had my share of *awesome* Mexican food before moving away to join the Air Force (side note: Columbus, MS was not exactly overflowing with great Mexican options...). I had all kinds of yumminess. One thing I didn't have? Ever? Queso. That warm, gooey, slightly spicy, white cheese dip perfect for dipping chips or covering food. I don't know, maybe it existed, maybe I just never thought to order it, maybe I'm the only one on Earth that wasn't smothering their chips and food in cheese dip. For all I know the rest of California was literally swimming in the stuff...but I definitely was not. No, my first experience with queso- the dip, not cheese in general- didn't occur until I got to the South. Queso is ubiquitous in this part of the country; I honestly don't believe I've been to a Mexican restaurant and not had queso in the past 13 years! Personally I prefer a killer salsa to queso any day- lol my parents have a story they love to tell about me eating a bowl of salsa with a spoon when I was like 3- but my family? Oh boy are they queso lovers. A bowl of queso doesn't stand a chance in the presence of my husband and daughter. For a long time queso cravings have been the sole reason we've spent too much money on sub-par Mexican food rather than cooking at home. My husband would send me a text asking to have Mexican for dinner...I would counter with an offer to make it at home...and he would come back with "but I want queso, I'm craving queso..." *sigh* Frustrating. So we would drag the kids to a Mexican place where my daughter would proceed to order something decidedly un-Mexican to eat with her queso and chips, my son with his eating issues would eat nothing but chips, and I would grumble about how I could have done better at home. Well friends, those days are over! Yesterday afternoon that text came from my husband asking for Mexican. Well...remember when I said that the most important advice I have is to be confident that you can tackle anything in the kitchen? I told him I'd make him queso at home. And you know what? I DID. And it rocked. Like really, really rocked. I mean, this was some awesome awesome queso! No more dragging the family to a restaurant just because my husband has a queso craving. :-) Needless to say I'm absolutely thrilled with my new discovery! We'll definitely be repeating this regularly- you could totally just throw all of the ingredients together in the crock pot for game day or parties. Super easy, and super delicious. Mexican White Queso Dip Modified from Allrecipes.com 2 lb Velveeta Queso Blanco, cubed 1/2 C milk 1 Tbsp butter 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies 1/2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper 1. Place cheese, milk, and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook until cheese has melted, stirring frequently. Stir in green chilies, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to taste. Add more milk if dip is too thick. Heat through and serve warm.
