Burger or Hot Dog Buns 
Makes 1 dozen

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 (.25 ounce) packet fast rise yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 egg
                   
1. Combine 1 3/4 cup flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix
   well. Heat milk, water and butter or margarine until very
   warm (120-130 degrees F). Add to flour mixture. Add
   egg, mix well. Gradually add enough flour to make a firm
   dough. 
2. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover, let rise about
   30-35 minutes. 
3. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Shape into smooth
   balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Flatten
   slightly. Cover and let rise (about 20-25 minutes). 
4. Bake at 400 degrees F for 10-12 mins or until golden
   brown. Remove from cookie sheets, cool. 
5. For Hot Dog Buns: Shape each piece into a 6x4 inch
   rectangle. Starting with the longer side, roll up tightly
   and pinch edges and ends to seal. Let rise (about 20-25
   minutes). Bake as above. (These buns are pretty big, I
   usually make 16 instead of 12.)
