Wow! These were GREAT! My kids even asked to take them to school for lunch the next day, with nothing but butter on them! Thanks!

OOPS!
Well, everything started out well enough. I used the whole wheat flour for the first part of the recipe, using all the flour in my storage container. Busy doing other stuff, remembered I had a bag of wheat flour and used that for the second part of the recipe. Um, it wasnt wheat flour. It was pastry flour!! They are in the oven now, so I’ll have to write an update later on how they turn out! :)

So I am unintentionally making these today =] I was making a few batches of your whole wheat bread and then one of my batches decided to not rise super well, so I just rolled them out and cut them =] I don’t like super huge buns either lol. can’t wait for sloppy joes tonight! I didn’t even know what I was going to make for dinner so this is probably my best goof every!

Just had to find this post and comment.

If you’d told me a few years ago that I’d be making my own hamburger buns, I’d have called you crazy! ;) I tried this recipe today and the buns were perfect!

My husband, who is sometimes skeptical of my “experiments” thought they were great when I served them as sandwiches for supper with pulled beef, topped with a slice of cheese. Both of my daughters ate them up as well!

I did use a white wheat flour and found them fluffy and not too heavy, which was a relief. I had tried wheat buns from the store, but the wheat taste was too overpowering. It’s so exciting to know exactly what went into these hamburger buns and to enjoy how delicious they taste! Thanks for another great recipe!

I can’t wait to try this recipe with olive oil. I’ve very recently gone vegan and I’m trying out various recipes that will help me fascilitate my newest adventure. I’ll let you know how they turn out. I really enjoyed reading all of the replies. Thank you!

I have been working with whole wheat flours and I have found that warming the milk makes a big difference in almost any recipe. It made a huge difference in my english muffins. Thanks so much, the hamburger and hot dog buns will impress my guests at my annual Tacky Tiki pool party Sunday.

So I was really excited when I found this recipe. I usually have great luck trying recipes the first time…..
I did the math and did 1/3 of the recipe (there are only two of us, plus my almost 1 yr old son, so I really didn’t need 18 buns….lol)…. I ended up having to do this twice, because my dough didn’t rise at all the first time. I think it might have been the yeast, so i opened up a new package and tested it. Twice. I think the honey I used didn’t have enough sugar, bc my first test didn’t do anything, and the second test i added sugar with the honey and THEN the yeast did something. so i added that to the dough. i kneaded it. it rose a little, but not enough. i was only able to get 2 buns out of it! how big are the buns you make? i wanted big buns, bc i was making some ridiculous hamburgers from the Cheese and Burger Society website, and i wanted the buns to withstand the messiness of the burger. DH thought the buns were great bc they were thick and bready and didnt crumble when he took a bite, but i would still like to know what i did wrong since the dough didn’t rise properly….(i did put a little rye flour in it, maybe that was the issue…or perhaps my yeast still wasn’t good enough….or maybe bc i 1/3 the recipe instead of just 1/2 there wasnt enough yeast to react???? I am not sure, but there are left over burgers, so I will be trying this again tomorrow…lol

Did they rise well during the first rising (before you shaped them)? If so, I’m not sure why they wouldn’t rise the second time?
