7/8 cup milk
4 1/2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp yeast

Put in order suggested by your bread machine and start on dough cycle.

When dough is ready, remove and divide into 9 pieces. Let set while you grease your baking sheets. For hamburger buns shape into round ball then flatten to form a patty about 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. For hotdog buns, roll into 6 inch rope and flatten to 1/2 inch thick. Place on baking sheet. Brush with a little mild and sprinkle with seeds if you like. Let raise 20 minutes to an hour depending on the temp of kitchen. Bake at 400 degrees for about 12-15 minutes. Watch closly as they bake fast and get brown fast.

My daughter and I never buy buns now that we discovered this recipe unless it is an emergency.
