Getting ready for that Memorial Day barbeque?
Need buns fast? These take just minutes to mix, especially if you use your food processor and instant yeast. They take about an hour and a half from start to finish, and most of that is waiting time.

I weigh my
ingredients right into the processor bowl, so I don’t have to measure much, and
I let the dough rise right in the covered work bowl so I only have one bowl to
wash.
This dough
is very easy to handle, and I shaped them into 10 buns, about 3” across for
medium buns.
I buy my
cheese powder at our nearby Amish store in bulk; you can substitute ¾ cup or 3
ounces of finely grated regular cheddar cheese.
These buns
come out light and fine-grained, delicious and perfect with grilled burgers.
Cheddar Cheese Onion Buns
2
tablespoons Butter -- softened
3
cups Bread Flour -- 15 ounces
1
teaspoon Sugar
1
package Instant Yeast
2
ounces Cheddar Cheese Powder
(about ½ cup)
1
Teaspoon Onion Powder
1
teaspoon Salt
1
cup Water (heated to 125°)
Fit food
processor with metal blade.
Add butter
(cut into smaller pieces), flour, sugar, yeast, cheese powder, onion powder and
salt to work bowl.
With machine
running, pour water through small hole in feed tube in a steady stream, about
45 seconds. Continue processing until
mixture forms a ball and starts to clean the inside of the work bowl, then let
machine run 60 seconds to knead dough.
Scrape down
bowl, let dough rise about 20 minutes right in covered bowl in warm place.
Punch down
dough and divide into 3 ounce portions, about 8, for larger buns or 2 1/2 ounce
portions, about 10, for smaller buns.
Shape each piece into a bun, either for hamburgers or hot dogs, place on
greased or parchment lined baking sheet, and let rise until doubled, about
25-35 minutes. Can be shaped into 2
ounce dinner rolls, about a dozen and baked about the same time and
temperature.
Preheat oven
to 375° while dough is rising. Bake
rolls until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
Cool on wire rack. Brush with
softened butter if desired.
*You can prepare your dough by your
favorite method, by hand, in a mixer or in a bread machine on the dough cycle.
