It’s that time of year, parties of the sports variety. With my quick and easy slider bun recipe, you can have these resting and baking while you are getting the meat ready, making the dip, or relaxing before the crowd comes over. Or for a fun night with the family, you can have different meats and cheeses and have a slider party. Try these out, they are easy to put together, and you can make them with whole wheat flour for a bit of a healthier bun.

Making sliders at home is quick, easy, and a great way to control what goes into your bread!
Ingredients
- 2 T melted unsalted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg slightly beaten
- 3¼ cups all purpose flour (if using whole wheat, do half and half) and more for dusting
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3 T sugar
- 2½ tsp dry yeast
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine butter, milk, and egg, and set aside.
- In stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add flour, salt, sugar, and yeast and start mixer on low speed to just combine.
- Add milk mixture to flour and let mix until dough springs back, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove dough from bowl on flour surface and knead until smooth, turning dough over and folding until dough is smooth and not sticky.
- Roll out and using a small circular cutter (1-3 inches depending on size you need) cut out dough and place on a parchment lined baking sheet about an inch apart until all dough is used (will have to roll out the dough again from cutting)
- Cover dough with a towel or plastic wrap and in a cool place let rest and rise for 30-40 minutes
- Preheat oven to 350 and baking for 10-15 minutes, until tops are golden brown.
- Once out of the oven you can add melted butter and sesame seeds if you like.
- Let cool, cut and enjoy!
- Can freeze sliders for up to three months.
- Baked sliders can be wrapped tightly and used for up to three more days
They look so good! Nothing beats homemade bread.
Awesome! I love baking bread and am sure that these would up the taste of anything you put between them.
