Directions
Big Soft Hamburger Buns,These homemade buns have a wonderful light-textured soft interior and a delicate crust thanks to the inclusion of both mashed potatoes and cottage cheese. They are very easy to make in a KitchenAid stand mixer and so much better than store-bought buns! The recipe is from Sunset Breads (1995),We love this recipe. Ive made it several times. I make the dough in the bread machine. These are so good!
