How many hamburger buns can I make do you think from 4 and 1/2 cups of flour. It is actually a cuban bread recipe. BBut we are having bbq sandwiches tonight and I wanted your opinion. Recipe says it makes 6 cuban sandwich rolls. Thanks

I would say about 16 hamburger buns with a recipe using 4 1/2 cups flour.

Two recipes I use have 3 cups flour and 3 1/2 cups flour. They make 12 hamburger buns.

Nope Darn it only 6 nice size rolls. I need your recipe!! But thanks for replying!

Hmmm....interesting. That's not many for all that flour. Are they 'heavy'?

For an everyday white bread or rolls, I use this one:

For a richer, yellow bread or rolls, this is my fav:

Challah (calls for a bread machine, but can be mixed/kneaded by hand)

Last week, I tried this one from a BYC post. Gotta say, they were nice, and easy too!:

I made the 40 Minute Hamburger Buns a few nights ago. I subbed 2-1/2 C. whole wheat flour and added 2-1/2 T. vital wheat gluten to compensate - they were awesome and SO EASY! I couldn't believe I had time to make them after work in time for dinner (while I had soup on the stove). We only ate 2, so I froze the rest - will try with burgers this weekend.
