Description

This homemade bun recipe can be used for hamburger buns or for tasty dinner rolls. They're easier to make than you think with this quick yeast dough.

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour, divided, or more as needed
2 (1/4 ounce) packages dry yeast
1 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Stir 2 cups flour and yeast together in a large bowl.
3 Heat milk, water, oil, sugar, and salt together in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until lukewarm; add to flour mixture and beat until smooth, about 3 minutes.
4 Mix in 2 cups remaining flour, then add up to 1 cup more flour as necessary to make a soft dough.
5 Dust a flat surface with flour; turn dough out onto floured surface and let rest under a bowl for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly grease a baking sheet.
6 Shape dough into 12 slightly flat balls and place on the prepared baking sheet to rise until doubled in size.
7 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
