Quick and Easy Hamburger Buns

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp active dry yeast (see notes for instant yeast)

• 1/3 C cooking oil
• 1/4 C sugar (*see notes)
• 1 large egg, room temperature (beaten)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add beaten egg, salt, and 3 cups of flour and make a soft dough. If the dough is too runny, add the rest of the flour, 1/4 cup at a time.
2. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead (by hand or using a dough hook in a stand mixer) until smooth and elastic, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Immediately divide into 8 pieces and shape each into a ball. Place 3 in. apart on baking sheet (non-stick, greased, or cover with parchment paper). Cover and let rest for 10-20 minutes (see notes).
4. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
5. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Cut in half to serve.
