Whole Wheat Hamburger and Hot Dog Buns for the Bread Machine

Step 1

Place all ingredients in bread pan in order recommended by manufacturer. Select Dough setting, and press Start. When dough has risen enough, the machine will beep.

Step 2

Remove bread pan, and turn out dough onto a floured countertop. Gently roll and shape the dough into a 12” rope. With a sharp knife, divide dough into 8 pieces for hamburger buns or 12 pieces for hot dog buns.

Step 3

Grease a baking sheet. Roll pieces of dough into balls and flatten for hamburger buns or shape into 6” rolls for hot dog buns. Place on prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rise in warm oven 10 to 15 minutes until almost doubled.

Step 4

Preheat oven to Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on racks. When ready to use, split buns horizontally. These will keep in plastic bag in the freezer for 3 to 4 weeks.
