Soft and Fluffy Hamburger Buns

1 cup warm water

I made these to go with salmon patties. They were easy and quick. A bit dense.

                       

2 tablespoons canola oil

                       

3 cups bread flour

 

1 tablespoon white sugar

                       

3/4 teaspoon salt

                        

1 teaspoon vital wheat gluten

                       

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

Directions

1. Place the water, canola oil, flour, sugar, salt, vital wheat gluten, and yeast into the pan of a bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer, select the Dough cycle, and turn on the machine. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. When the cycle is finished, remove the dough to a lightly oiled work surface, and knead for 2 to 3 minutes. Cut the dough into 12 equal-size pieces, and roll the dough into balls by cupping your hand, with open fingers, over each piece of dough. Roll gently, with just a little pressure, to form a dough ball with a silky surface. Place the dough balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, and flatten each dough ball gently into a bun. Cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on racks before slicing
