Hamburger Buns – 17 mg Sodium

Combine water and milk in a microwave safe bowl and heat to 110 °F (43 °C). Add sugar and yeast, set aside for 10-15 min or until frothy. While you wait, melt the butter so it has time to cool.

 Add cooled melted butter and egg to the yeast mixture. Then begin adding flour one cup at a time until a dough forms. 

Knead the dough for 5-10 min until smooth. Place dough ball into a clean bowl and cover to rest for about 60 min or until doubled in size. 

Divide dough into 8-12 pieces depending on how big you want the buns to be. Form each piece into a ball and then slightly flatten and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover the balls with a clean dish towel and leave to rest again for 30 min. Preheat oven to 375 °F (191 °C) while you wait. 

Optional: If using egg wash, whisk together the egg and splash of milk and then brush onto the top of each bun.

Bake buns for 15-20 min or until the tops are golden.
