I have been experimenting with GF bread baking for 2 years and thought I
would share these tips.

>> How do you do your hamburger buns in what kind of pan?

I use English muffin rings.  They look like a tuna can with both ends
removed.  You can get them from ENER-G  foods (four to a box) or by making
a special order from kitchen specialty stores.  12 of them fit perfectly on
a large cookie sheet.  Bette Hagman's (More from the GF Gourmet) Rapid Rise
French Bread recipe -I decrease the water a little - makes great buns that
stay moist, even after freezing, and they travel well.  It makes about 14
english muffin sized buns perfect for hamburgers.  ENER-G foods -

Here again, I use the English muffin rings but I squish them so they are
narrow ovals, hot dog bun shaped, before I put them on the cookie sheet.
Fill them less than half full.  They rise quickly and bake in 20 minutes.

A tip - Since gluten free dough tends to be somewhat sticky (an
understatement?)  I have learned to spread out the dough with a spoon that
I keep dipping into water.  The dough does not stick to water like it will
to grease or GF flours.

Hope these tips are helpful.  Kathy in St,Cloud
