So, I've been making my own hamburger and hotdog buns. I use my bread machine to make the dough. When it's done its thing, then I shape them, let them rise and bake in the oven.
The recipe that I use has 2 different versions for the dough. The first time I made them, I used the adjusted version. The dough, I found, was a bit stiff and hard to shape into the proper shape for hamburger buns. The second time that I made them, I used the first recipe. The dough is much softer and easier to work with.
Here are a few pictures of the Hamburger buns.
After the hamburger buns had risen for 15 minutes

12/12/17 Note: When I updated to my current, I found that the hamburger buns turn out better with a slightly different recipe. Here’s what I’m using now. Use the one that works best for you.
1 ¼ Cups water
1 ½ Tablespoons olive oil
3 ¾ Cups bread flour
1 ½ Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons rapid rise yeast when using the quick cycle OR 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast yeast when using the regular dough cycle
Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first. (For my machine, I add the liquids first.) Use the dough setting.
When the dough is done put it on a lightly floured board and divide into three equal sections. The goal is to get 9 hamburger buns of appropriate size and shape. When you’ve got the buns the right size and shape put them on a greased cookie sheet. Remember not to put them too close together as they’ll get larger as they cook.
Cover the buns with a clean, lightweight kitchen towel and let the buns rise for half an hour. Then remove the towel and put the buns in a 400 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
Lastly, here's the link to where I found this recipe.
