Bread Machine Hamburger or Hot Dog Buns

Ingredients:

1 cup water

1/3 cup milk

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup wheat flour

3 cups unbleached white flour

1 tsp. salt

1 packet yeast or two teaspoons of bread machine yeast

Preparation:

Add ingredients to the bread machine in the order given and set on dough cycle. When cycle finishes, punch down and let rest for a few minutes. While the dough is resting, prepare a cookie sheet by spraying it with cooking spray and lightly sprinkling it with corn meal. Pinch of a circle of dough and flatten it. Remember that your final product will be about twice as big, so do not make it too big. Place each circle on cookie sheet, spray tops with cooking spray or brush with butter or egg white wash, whichever you prefer, and let rise until double, about 30 minutes. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until browned. Slice and enjoy. 

Note: You can make smaller party size shapes, or elongate the dough for hot dog buns. This recipe makes 8-10 large buns.  You can make it totally with white flour, or add more wheat flour if you want. Wheat makes a heavier bun that might take more time to raise.
