Dill Pickle Sandwich/Hamburger Buns

Pin It If you like pickles on your sandwiches you are going to love these buns.  I enjoy using this recipe when we are having Sloppy Ham Sandwiches.

For a different summer burger serve with small patties.  They will be reminiscent of Krystal or White Castle  burgers.

Enjoy!

1 tablespoon Red Star yeast
1/4 cup warm water

1 cup cottage cheese
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons white sugar

egg white
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons onion flakes

Stir the yeast into the warm water in a large bowl.  Add a pinch of sugar and let set for about 5 minutes to proof.  Melt the cottage cheese, and butter  until the fat is melted.  Remove from heat and add sugar (2 T), onion flakes, dill seed, salt, and soda.  Mix in egg.  Add cottage cheese mixture to yeast mixture.  Stir in pickle.  Stir/knead in flour to create elastic dough.  Place dough in greased bowl and allow to double in size, about 50-60 minutes.  Deflate the dough and divide into 8 pieces, shape into balls.  Place in greased 61/2 x 10 1/2 inch pan.  Allow to rise 30-40 minutes.
