Probably not the best photo, since my son took it on his DSI, but this is what I made tonight.



I started the dough this morning when we were still snowed in because we were almost out of bread.  (It has all melted now and is currently 47 degrees, WTH mother nature?)  The house smells heavenly.  Why is there always one mutant roll? *laughs*

Such a simple, easy recipe.  I make the dough in the bread machine and then bake them in the oven later.

2 1/4 tsp yeast (1 pkg)
1 1/4 cup warm water
3/8 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg, well beaten
4 1/4 cups flour
1 1/4 teaspoon salt

Put in wet ingredients first, then yeast, then sugar, then flour.  Mix in bread machine.  (You could do this in a good stand mixer with a dough hook, too, I suppose).  Let rise one hour (or covered overnight in the fridge, will keep for four days).  Pinch off into balls.  I usually do twelve.  You can make them oblong if you want hot dog buns, or you can make three smaller balls per each and put them into a muffin tin cup and make cloverleaf rolls.  But I generally just make them round in the shape of hamburger buns.  Let rise in a warm place at least one hour, two if you want bigger buns.  Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes.  Optional:  Brush tops with melted butter.
