Onion Burger Buns
If you don’t own a bread machine, stop reading this and go buy buns. Or a bread machine.
Homemade bread lovers, this one’s for you. Dr. Atkins, South Beach diet fans, I believe the philosophy of avoiding a lot of carbs, but I just can’t overcome my love for fresh bread.
We’re just having grilled burgers for supper, and I wasn’t going to blog about it, but I decided to make these buns and share the recipe:
-
Onion burger buns
Prep time: 5 minutes / Cooking time: 3 hours
1 1/4 c. water
3 T. brown sugar
2 T. oil
1 t. salt
2 T. dry minced onion (or 1/2 c. chopped onion, sauteed in the oil)
2 1/2 c. flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 c. wheat germ
2 t. yeast
Follow the instructions for your bread machine. Use the dough cycle. When the machine is done, punch the dough down and knead a bit to get the big air bubbles out. Roll into 12 balls - they’ll rise, so they may look a little small right now. Place them, almost touching, onto a greased cookie sheet or 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Cover with a towel to prevent drying. After about an hour, they will double in size. Preheat your oven to 375, then bake for about 15 minutes. You can glaze them with some egg and water before baking if you want them glossy on top.
Split the buns, insert burgers, and chow down.
