Updated: Dec 12, 2023

Here is a recipe for hamburger buns that has been adjusted for high altitude baking at 9000 feet:

Ingredients:

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the melted butter, warm water, warm milk, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Place the balls on a lightly greased baking sheet and cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
Brush the buns with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water) and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional).
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

Note: At high altitude, you may need to adjust the amount of flour or liquid used in the recipe to achieve the desired consistency of the dough.
