Step 1

In the pan of your bread machine, add the ingredients in the order recommended by your machine’s manufacturer.

Step 2

Put the pan into your bread machine and close the lid. Select the dough setting and turn the machine on.

Step 3

Once the dough forms a ball, you might have to adjust it slightly with either a dusting of flour or a sprinkling of water.

Step 4

Upon completion of the dough cycle, remove the dough from the pan onto a lightly floured or oiled surface. Knead to get the air out and the dough becomes smooth.

Step 5

Cut the dough into 4 ounce pieces. Shape each ball of dough into buns.

Step 6

Place rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Step 7

Cover lightly with a clean towel and allow to rise until double in size (approximately 30 minutes).

Step 8

While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Step 9

Just before you put the rolls into the oven, mix the egg and the water in a small bowl. Brush each hamburger bun lightly with the egg wash. This will give you a shine to your hamburger buns.

Step 10

Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until browned. The hamburger buns should have a hollow sound when you tap on them. The bake time will depend on the size of your rolls and the temperature of your oven.

Step 11

Enjoy!
