Hamburger Buns from scratch!We've got From Scratch Hamburger Buns in the oven annndd a little Baby Bun in the oven!  Whooo!  Baby K is coming our way the beginning of June 2016!Baby K on the way!We're all extremely excited, even Nigel, despite the not so enthused look on his face.  Ha. This was mainly his "Why are we in a park but I'm not allowed to play?!" look.  I'm so excited to eventually bring you a Baby Food From Scratch section of the blog!   Ok, well first it'll probably be a Meals From Scratch When You've Discovered a New Level of Exhaustion From Being Up with a Newborn 24/7 section  😉 Hamburger Buns from ScratchOk, back to the real buns. The real simple buns, that is.  30 minutes. That's all it took!  Hamburger Buns from ScratchThe dough itself was really easy.  Just activating the yeast by adding in some warm water and the sugar, some salt, an eggs, and oil. Then a mix of the flours. I used a mix of whole wheat flour and bread flour to make them a little healthier.  But with the whole wheat flour it does make them a tad denser too.  For a lighter bun, I'd use just all bread flour.  Mixed together and then kneaded on a floured surface for about 5 minutes.  Hamburger Buns from ScratchThen separated into 8 equal parts and rolled into little balls,Hamburger Buns from Scratchcovered and let to rest for 15-20 minutes so they rise.  Then a generous egg wash (to give it that nice golden top),Hamburger Buns from Scratchand some sesame seeds on top!  Or poppy seeds, or dried onion, or both, or go nuts and add all 3! Hamburger Buns from ScratchInto the oven for 10 minutes and you're in hamburger bun business!Hamburger Buns from ScratchThese guys are just begging for a big juicy burger.  Or some eggs and sausage for a breakfast sandwich.  Or some grilled chicken and cheese for lunch sandwich!  Or just some butter when they're fresh out of the oven... mmm.  Did I mention I'm preggo and now I spend even more time thinking about food?  Good thing these freeze well - they'll be in my freezer just waiting to be warmed up for whichever craving hits next! 😉
