A very good and simple recipe. I used my Kitchenaid mixer to whip these up in no time. They only require one rising which is also a timesaver.My husband likes sesame seeds, so I put a bunch on top of the buns rising. I didn't need 12 buns, so I rolled some of the dough flat and covered it with a mixture of apples,raisens, cinnamon, ginger, nuts, and a little sugar and rolled it up cinnamon roll style. Yummy! This recipe will definitely stay in my recipe box.

This is the BEST! I've tried several other recipes for hamburger buns, and this one is perfect. Thank you so much for such a great recipe. I bake superb whole-wheat bread (thanks to my KitchenAid mixer), and my husband has requested that I make this bun recipe in several versions, starting with 1/3 whole-wheat pastry flour and working it up to 100% whole-wheat flour to see which we like best. I'll keep you posted. He also requested that I make bagels for him. Do you have a bagel recipe? I hope so, because after my first very, very successful baking of hamburger buns, I'll try any recipe you have. Must go searching for them . . .

These are quick and easy to make and taste great. I make them quite often, but usually just as dinner rolls instead of buns. They are always gone in a hurry.

This was second try at a yeast bread recipe from this site. I don't have great luck with them so I halved the recipe to begin with. I did read most of the reviews to try and get some tips. Special thanks goes to TTHMC and Bill for their reviews because their tips may actually help me finally make a good yeast bread! My only change was to use half wheat flour and half white. I did use my kitchenaid to mix, let rise covered with a cloth in a warm sunny place. Got 7 good looking buns!

This recipe is so easy!! I even altered it to fit the low fat, I use whole wheat flour, (I can't believe it's not butter spray) for the oil, and splenda for the sugar, they are awesome!!! I make these weekly, regular for the kids, and lo-fat for us. Thanks for the recipe!!!!

These are delicious! I made them exactly as the recipe says... the first time I used them for some black bean burgers that I made. They are a little crumbly and thick for burgers, but I liked them anyway. The second time I made grilled cheese sandwiches out of them. I also like to eat them plain as a dinner roll. Thanks for a great recipe!

This is a fantastic and very easy recipe for soft, delicious, beautiful rolls/buns. The fact that no kneading was necessary, and that rising time was minimal, was a huge bonus. I've tried a lot of roll recipes and none have come out as nicely as this one.

These buns turned out great! My husband didn't really like making sandwiches with homemade bread, so I was looking for an easy buns recipe. For me, they turned out light, fluffy and the tops weren't rock hard as sometimes happens with loaf bread.

These buns where wonderful. They were really easy to make & held up well to the hamburger patty. I was able to get 16 nice sized buns. I think I just spoiled my family, they will want these instead of the store bought buns.

I made these tonight for our grilled chicken teriyaki sandwiches..they were fantastic! I used whole wheat flour, rather than white and canola rather than vegetable oil. Other than that, I made as directed. I plan to make again & again! Thanks for sharing.

The bread turned out just right! I've tried making bread a few times before, but it's never turned out so soft and perfect like this one. I did make some changes: - I used half the recipe - I added an egg after adding the milk/oil/water mixture - I used half whole wheat and half flour - I let the dough rise twice - Baked it for 10 minutes I made these changes based on some of the reviews. Next time I might try full whole wheat - hopefully it'll be just as soft! I didn't have any problems with smells (it smells great), but it is a little bland - so I would consider this a basic recipe and maybe add some flavor to it next time. Other than that, thanks for the recipe!

These are wonderful! This was my first attempt at homemade buns and I can say...I will never buy them again. I did make one change. I used 2 cups of whole wheat flour and 3 cups white.

I made brat buns with this recipe. Followed the recipe as mentioned, tastes like bisquik the first day, but are awesome brat buns the second day. For a greased pan, I used non-stick spray and flour. Note: the way I made them, they turned out a bit heavy, but that's perfect for brat buns. A bit too heavy for burger/chicken sandwiches.

I followed the recipe exactly and they were perfect! I made a double batch for a family party and everyone raved about how good they were. Remember to mix the wet ingredients with the first two cups of flour and yeast for at least 3 minutes. This is what will activate the yeast to make them rise. I love the ease of this recipe. We will make again and again!

Oh my gosh - these are great. I made this recipe because I didn't want to drive in the rain to the store to get buns for sandwiches. I may never buy again. I cut the recipe in half to make 6 big buns. So fast and easy in the k-aid mixer. Only mess was a little flour on my cutting board. Wahoo!

These were good, but they turned out a little heavy. Next time, I will try and let them rise longer before putting them in oven. Maybe the yeast I was using wasn't good or something.

For those of you who found these buns to dense, the key factor I've found in how fluffy they are is the inital mixing before you add the rest of the flour. When I mixed these by hand i never did the full three minutes, since the mixture looked smooth well before that. They came out kinda dense this way, but still tasty. When I was able to use a mixer I mixed longer and faster, and I was surprised how fluffy that made the buns. I learned later why this happens. True yeast does do most of the rising and forming air bubbles. However with out proper mixing there will be air bubbles in the bread and they will be uneven in size. What the mixing does is with grainy things like salt kinda punches holes in the dough even in the soupy state before adding all the flour, these holes in the dough will remain and be filled by the CO2 made by the yeast during baking, thus fluffy buns

These turned out great; they look like I just picked them up from the bakery! They are a little more dense that hamburger buns I'm used to, but it was no big deal. I made these to go with pulled pork and it was just perfectly yummy. I might like them better as dinner rolls next time though. I'm just happy that they turned out so well. Thanks!
