Ingredients

1 large egg
½ cup milk
¼ cup water (enough such that the total weight of the milk, egg, and water is 8 ounces.)
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1 Tablespoon white sugar
¾ teaspoon salt
2 ½ cups (12-ounces, 340 grams) all-purpose flour
1 ⅛ teaspoons bread machine yeast

Instructions

Add all ingredients pan of the bread machine in the order listed. Program the machine for the dough cycle, and press start. When the dough cycle has finished, transfer the dough to a floured surface. Using either a pizza cutter or a dough scraper, cut the dough into 6 (3.44 ounces, 97 grams) or 8 (2.5 ounces, 71 grams). Form each piece into a ball and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using floured fingertips, flatten each piece until it is about ½-inch thick. Cover; allow to rise in a warm place* until doubled in size, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from oven; transfer to wire rack to cool.
Yield: 6 large or 8 regular-sized hamburger buns.

Notes

*To create the perfect environment for rising, turn on electric oven for exactly 1 minute and 45 seconds.
