Quick and Easy Homemade Hamburger Buns from Bread Machine Dough

I used this breadstick dough to make hot dog buns this Spring and we loved them so much I decided to make hamburger buns too.  I have to send a shout out to Money Saving Mom for sharing my hot dog buns and helping popularize the post.  Thanks Crystal:)

There are several ways you can shape hamburger buns.  
1.  Roll the dough out into a sheet and cut the dough with a large biscuit cutter.
2.  Roll the dough out into a sheet and cut quickly into squares with a pizza              wheel.  This will yield square shaped buns.  
3.  Form the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a small round of dough.      (The kids might enjoy helping roll the dough.)  

Since you have total control over your dough, you can make them as big or small as you like.  Slider buns would be cool...now I'm thinking of bacon wrapped sliders, yum!

Follow these steps to enjoy easy homemade buns at home.  

Put these ingredients in your bread maker in the order listed.  

1 cup warm water

1.  Once the dough cycle is finished, roll the dough to about a 10" X 10" square on a large lightly buttered baking sheet.

2.  Use one of these methods to shape the dough.

• Roll the dough out into a sheet and cut quickly into squares with a pizza       wheel.  This will yield square shaped buns.  
  
• Form the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a small round of dough.  (The kids might enjoy helping roll the dough.)  
  

3.  Let rise for about an hour.
