Hot Dogs and Chips

Homemade Hamburger/Hot Dog Buns *not pictured*

1 cup warm water

2 eggs

1/3 cup + 2 T oil

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp salt

4 cups flour *can use whole wheat

1 1/2 tsp yeast

If using bread machine, place ingredients in machine in order recommended by manufacturer. Turn on dough setting and let cycle run. Otherwise, combine water and yeast in mixing bowl and let rest 10 minutes, or until frothy. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. If using dough hook, run on low speed 3-5 minutes. Otherwise, knead by hand until dough is smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Sprinkle large working surface with flour. Punch down dough. Divide into 18 equal portions. Form into balls for hamburger buns, or long rolls for hot dog buns. Place on greased baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Press hamburger buns flat. Let rise, covered, 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 and bake 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
