BEAUTIFUL BURGER BUNS

The following recipe created quite a stir when "Moomie" first posted it on our online community. Baker after baker tried these buns and declared them THE BEST. Soft, vaguely sweet and golden-yellow from the butter and egg, these simple buns are perfect for burgers, but also fine for any kind of sandwich.

INGREDIENTS

• Choose your measure:   Volume   Ounces   Grams
• BUNS
• 3/4 to 1 cup lukewarm water*
• 2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
• 1 large egg
• 3 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
• *For best results (a smooth, slightly soft dough), use the smaller amount of water in summer (or in a humid environment), the greater amount in winter (or in a dry climate); and something in between the rest of the time.
• TOPPING
• 3 tablespoons melted butter

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Mix and knead all of the dough ingredients — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — to make a soft, smooth dough.
2. Cover the dough, and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until it's nearly doubled in bulk.
