Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup lukewarm water
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp dry active yeast
  • 2 cups lukewarm water
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 5 cups + all purpose flour
  • 1 egg white w/ splash of cold water

Instructions

  • Mix 1/2 cup lukewarm water, 1/2 teaspoon sugar and yeast in a large glass and let rise for 10 minutes.
  • Mix 2 cups lukewarm water, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, oil and yeast mixture on low in a stand mixer.
  • Add flour 1 cup at a time. When dough releases from side of bowl, turn out on a well floured surface and knead until slightly sticky and soft.
  • Cover in a well oiled large bowl, make sure top of dough is coated in oil as well, and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for an hour or until doubled in size.
  • Punch down dough. Take small portions of dough and make into a cigar shape (about 2 oz.) for hotdog buns and disk shape (about 3 oz.) for hamburger buns. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat, cover with a tea towel, and let rise for about 30 minutes.
  • Beat egg white with a splash of water and brush on the top of each bun. Bake at 375 for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

For Freezing: After baking the buns, flash freeze on a baking sheet for 1-2 hours. Place frozen buns in a large, freezer safe, zip lock bag. When ready to eat. Wrap 1 or 2 buns at a time in a paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds or until warm.
