Burger buns!

The Americans love their burgers and even if I just buy the regular burgers in the meat isle at Publix they are really good when you add some spice to them before you put them on the grill.
The buns though they are a totally disaster! They are somewhat sweet, way to soft and rather spongelike so when we have burgers I always make my own. (Later i will give you my burger recipe but this time I cheated and just bought the regular Publix ones!)

Ingredients;

2 envelopes dry yeast (I use Fleischmann's® Active Dry Yeast)
1 1/4 cup lukewarm water
4 tsp olive oil
2 eggs
1 1/3 pounds flour
1 tsp turmeric
sesame seeds
1 egg for brushing

Whisk the yeast in the lukewarm water until it's dissolved. Add oil, egg, flour and turmeric. Knead with your hands or preferably a mixer until the dough is smooth. . When I use my Kitchen Aid I run it for at least five minutes


Let stand covered in room temperature for at least 30 minutes under a towel. I also put Glad Cling Wrap under the towel. After 30 minutes or when the dough has doubled its size divide the dough into pieces and make rolls.




Put the buns on a baking sheet and flatten them. Let them rise for another 15 minutes under a towel then brush them with the egg (beaten) and sprinkle with sesame seeds.



Bake in the oven on 390F for appr. 15 minutes.

Serve with the burgers of your choice and enjoy!
