Ingredients
- 1/4 Cup Butter 1/2 stick
- 1/2 Cup Milk
- 1/3 Cup Water
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Active Dry Yeast
- 2-2.5 Cups All Purpose Flour see notes for using whole wheat
Instructions
Prepare Dough
- In a small saucepan over lowest heat setting, add butter and allow to melt. Add in milk, water, sugar and salt. Heat to 105-110 degrees, stirring constantly.
- Transfer liquid to bowl of stand mixer (or large mixing bowl if kneading by hand). Make sure your liquid isn't too hot or it will kill your yeast.
- Stir in yeast and let sit for 5 minutes, or until frothy.
- Add in one cup of flour and stir. Add in second cup, stir again. Continue adding flour little bits at a time, up to another 1/2 cup, until a sticky dough starts to form.
- Put dough hook on stand mixer and allow to knead for 5 minutes. Remove bowl from stand mixer, leave dough inside, and cover with plastic wrap or tea towel. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
Cut Biscuits
- After the rest time, dust your countertop with flour. Roll dough into a rectangular shape, 1/2 an inch thick.
- Use a small slider bun cutter or the ring of a standard size mason jar. Place the cut buns on a baking sheet, with the sides just touching. Repeat until all dough is used.
- Allow dough to rise 30 minutes.
Bake and Cut
- When your rise time is about halfway over, preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. You can brush with butter after baking if desired.
- Allow to cool slightly, then slice. Before serving, brush insides lightly with butter and toast in a hot skillet until golden brown (optional).
Notes
To Use Whole Wheat Flour: You can substitute up to one cup of the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
Butter/Milk Temperature: If you don't have a way to check the temp of your liquid, 105-110 degrees should feel just warm, but not hot. If you think it may be too hot, it's best to let it cool a bit longer.
I let my liquid cool in the pot verses the bowl of the stand mixer. It tends to hold heat really well and take a while to cool down.
Kneading By Hand: If you're kneading by hand, you'll still follow the same steps. Add little bits of flour as needed while you knead for roughly 10 minutes.
Double It: This recipe can easily be doubled if you need more slider buns or if you want to make a batch of regular sized burger buns.
Servings: 10 Buns
