Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups lukewarm water
  • 2 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter flavored shortening
  • 2/3 cup nonfat dry milk
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 6 cups flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast together. Set aside and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  • In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, sugar, nonfat dry milk, and salt and mix until well combined.
  • Add in shortening and work into the dry ingredients until it is crumbly in appearance.
  • Add water and yeast mixture along with egg to the dry ingredients and begin mixing.
  • Gradually add flour one cup at a time to form a soft dough. Once all flour has been added, continue kneading or mixing for another 2-3 minutes. When done, the dough should be slightly sticky to the touch.
  • Cover the dough with a towel and let rise until double in size.
  • Once dough has risen (about an hour), generously flour a surface on the counter and scape the dough out of the bowl and onto the floured surface.
  • Knead a few times, then cut dough into two even pieces and form two loaves.
  • From there, cut dough into 12 even pieces.
  • Form balls, making sure to tuck the ends of the dough underneath.
  • Place dough on a silicone baking mat on a baking sheet and lightly press down on the top of the dough to slightly flatten it.
  • Repeat process until all buns have been made.
  • Place the buns in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until the top of the buns are golden brown.
  • Remove buns from oven and transfer to a cooling rack and let cool.
  • When buns have cooled, cut lengthwise into two slices.
  • Serve with hamburgers and desired fixings.
  • Enjoy!
