For more information on bun pan options and how to use them to make great looking hamburger buns, hop to my blog post all about it!

• Bring wet ingredients to room temperature, then combine in a large mixing bowl. Slowly stir in the dry ingredients of the bread mix and stir to integrate well. Add the yeast packet and continue to beat for several minutes (may stir by hand or use a stand mixer with a flat paddle attachment). The dough should be well-mixed.
• Scoop into oiled bun pans or English Muffin rings on parchment-lined baking sheet. Do not fill rings or pans more than 2/3 full.
• Smooth tops with a wet rubber spatula. Brush on egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water) OR milk OR oil. Sprinkle with seeds or other toppings, if desired.
• Oil waxed paper or parchment and lay on top of buns. Rise in a warm location like a warming drawer or an oven preheated to 200° F then turned off.
• Rise for 30 minutes, then turn oven on to 350º F (static) or 325º F (convection) and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers of the buns comes out clean.
• Allow to cool before slicing as buns.
