Quick Hamburger Buns

This is a really simple and quick recipe that you can whip up while preparing the rest of dinner.  I use my KitchenAid mixer, but you could certainly just mix and knead by hand.  There is no rise time because of the large amount of yeast added.  You could cut down the yeast and allow a rise time but, heck, who has time for that?!

Okay, here's the recipe:

Sprinkle 2 Tbsp. dry yeast over 1 C. + 2 Tbsp. warm water.  Let this sit for a few minutes.


Stir into yeast mixture:  1/3 C. oil/melted butter/melted coconut oil, 1/4 c. sugar or honey, 1 egg, and 1 tsp. salt.


Gradually stir in 3-3 1/2 C. flour and knead until smooth and elastic.


Form into 12 balls.


Place on baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees for 8-12 minutes.
