2cupsFlour, divided
Instructions
Reserve 1/4 cup of flour. Set aside.
Place all remaining ingredients (1 3/4 cups flour only) in a food processor, using the dough blade or the regular blade.
Pulse a few times to combine the ingredients. Then run continuously for about 1 minute until dough forms a ball that clears the sides of the bowl.
If the dough is very sticky and soft and will not form a ball or clear the sides of the bowl, add reserved flour down the feed tube, 1 Tablespoon at a time, until it does.
Remove dough from the food processor. Form into a ball. Grease lightly. Place in a lightly greased bowl, covered with plastic wrap. Allow to rise in a warm, draft-free place for 30 to 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
On the counter, flatten the dough and divide it into 6 equal parts. Form each part into a round ball. Flatten for hamburger buns, if desired.
Place buns on a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. Cover with greased plastic wrap, and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
Discard the plastic wrap. Bake buns in a preheated 350°F oven until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the buns. Cool on a wire rack.
This dough is suitable for cheese buns, cinnamon buns, pizza buns, and of course Leftover Turkey Pizza.
