Potato Buns (Bread Machine) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups water
4 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup potato flakes
1 3/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast

Preparation

Add the ingredients in order to bread machine pan.
Set on dough setting.
After first rise, remove dough (do not let it rise a second time in the machine!).
Divide dough into 12 equal parts (or more, depending on the size bun you need).
To shape hot dog buns: roll dough between hands until roughly the diameter and length of a hot dog.
To shape hamburger buns: flatten dough ball into roughly the shape of a hamburger.
Place shaped dough on a large baking sheet that has been covered with parchment paper. This makes for very easy removal and clean up!
Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F.
Allow dough to rise for 15 minutes while oven preheats.
Bake buns for 15-20 minutes, or until tops turn light golden brown.
Allow buns to cool slightly before slicing.
Buns may be frozen.
To defrost, toast in a bagel-friendly toaster or microwave for approximately 20 seconds.
