Anyone have any hints on how to make decent hamburger buns?
Can't find my Juliete Childs' Baking cookbook.
I think it is mainly a reduction in fat.
As long as I'm at it....how about those addicting Cibatta buns?

New to the group - but not to baking .

I use my regular white bread ( trying it as half-wheat today !)
recipe , weight the dough out into 75 gram portions . Bake 'em on a 12"
x 15" expanded mesh grilling rack from Walmart - the light cheap ones -
covered with foil that's sprayed with cooking oil . My recipe makes ~900
grams of dough , yielding a dozen buns per batch . Hot dog buns the same
except 60 grams and yields 15 buns - 3 rows of 5 buns each , and there's
a batch in the bread machine (mix and knead only) right now .

Just checked the first batch , 2 1lb loaves , and looks like one fell
just a bit . Not to worry , I figgered there'd be some adjustments .
I'll post my white bread and adjusted recipes if anyone wants them .

Don't worry; it happens to all of us occasionally. At least
the original post was from this century.

Perhaps a lurker can use the information if not the OP.

For hamburger/sandwich buns I use a recipe from the King
Arthur site that makes six big buns. The only change I made
was to up the dried onion to 1 1/2 tablespoons.

I also use a recipe I modified from one posted on alt.bread.
recipes that uses a bit of rye flour along with the white
plus some celery seed and onion powder.

Nyssa, who is glad she's got a stash of the sandwich buns
in the freezer since it's too doggone hot to bake now
