Dinner rolls or hamburger buns

Here's a recipe that I improvised to make some hamburger buns.

Combine in a bowl:

2 1/2 tsps yeast
3 c flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsps sugar

Add:
1 tbs oil
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup water

Adjust the water/flour amounts until you have a fairly dry, firm dough. Let rise 1 hour.

Punch down, then form into 8 rolls. I used a technique where I pull the sides of each roll down and collect the dough into a knot. Then, I hide the knot on the underside of the roll. This gives the tops a very smooth appearance. This technique is much better than forming a ball by rolling between the hands. Let proof 1 hour.

Bake 10-15 minutes at 400*F.
