Why wait for Xmas - Hamburger Buns https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/beautiful-burger-buns-recipe#reviews 170 to 227g lukewarm water* (I used 180g.) 28g butter, at room temperature 1 large egg · 418g Unbleached All-Purpose Flour 50g 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 43g melted butter INSTRUCTIONS Mix and knead all the dough ingredients — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — to make a soft, smooth dough. Cover the dough, and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until it's nearly doubled in bulk. Gently deflate the dough and divide it into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball; flatten to about 3" across. Place the buns on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for about an hour, until noticeably puffy. Brush the buns with about half of the melted butter. Bake the buns in a preheated 375°F oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden. Remove them from the oven, and brush with the remaining melted butter. This will give the buns a satiny, buttery crust. Cool the buns on a rack. Yield: 8 large buns. (92g or 93g for 8 buns or 82g for 9 smaller buns.) · For slightly smaller buns, divide the dough into 12 pieces instead of 8. Bake the buns for 12 to 15 minutes, instead of 15 to 18 minutes. And how about "slider buns" — about 3" in diameter? Divide the dough into 24 pieces and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Thanks, Wahoo, these are a King Arthur hamburger bun recipe. It has butter and egg to make it super great. They are also easy to do.

Made some hamburger buns today and you just know I have to check them out for dinner. A KK burger is hidden under the cheese and other toppings. From my phone some bun pixs.

Wow, close call.

Stunning KK and love your sign not to mention your chicken dinner.

Where is the rotisserie option?

Quote from tekobo, "Am I right? Or is Macqueenzie?" I hope I don't have to forfeit my title over this.

I really appreciate you taking the time to explain everything. Enjoyed the read and am extremely happy about just needing one disc. I maybe able to round up one in Canada. The eBay seller you mentioned does not ship to Canada. If I can't find one here I may ask someone to ship one to me from the US but I wouldn't ask anyone to ship two due to the weight. The cake pan I can get here. I think your method of generating steam is really neat. It will work in the KK and in the kitchen oven. Thanks for the help.[emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

@ Syzyzies, speaking of clarity, I am wondering if you use only one aluminum plate or both to produce your steam and half of 803 grams of ice, or 964 grams of warm (40 C) water? Thanks.

jonj, what a fantastic lunch.

A cake pan and two aluminium discs, now that sounds like a great idea.

Where there is a will there is a way.

Looks delicious.

I've done the no-knead several times and it was tasty and fun. When one starts adding home ground flour to the mix one needs to build structure. This latest bread I'm working on uses the stretch and folds. I also use a pizza stone to bake the bread on and cove it with a large SS pan for the first part of the cook. So far so good.

Aussie, dinner is looking super tasty.

I wanted to try Syzygies' idea of using the double bottom pan under the pizza stone, so here goes- I just set this whole arrangement on top of the main grate. Add a little fresh basil from the garden. First slice of three. I'd do this again but next time I'd be a little more patient and wait for the KK to get to 500 F. This time the stone was 465F. Crust seemed to be a little more chewy than normal and I could have cooked the whole pizza for another minute but it really was very tasty as is. A shot of the crust from my phone.

Try vanilla yogurt, even better.

Thanks, Braai-Q. It was an experience not to be missed. Terriers are full of the devil and I like that. Seeing pix of your dog brings back fond memories.

What isn't?

That is a rough dig but in the end you will be happy with the results.

Nice birthday dinner, looks super moist and tasty. Happy birthday to your wife.

Thanks, Braai-Q. My wire haired fox terriers have already gone to dog heaven, I think they came back as 2 KKs. This is a picture of a picture beside my desk.
