Hamburger Buns

I have not found a good hamburger bun here in Germany. Most of them fall apart as soon as you put your Burger on it. 
So, homemade it will be. This recipe is perfect, they don't fall apart and are still soft enough just like a bun should be.

Hamburger Buns:

1 cup water
2 tbs. canola oil
3 cups flour
1 tbs. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
2 1/4 tsp. active yeast ( I used 1/2 cube of fresh bakers yeast)

Preheat the oven to 350 F ( 175 C )
Mix together the yeast, water, and the sugar. Let that mixture sit until it is frothy.
Add the flour, salt, and the oil and knead until the dough is glossy.
Place the dough in a bowl and cover and let it rise until double. ( about 1 hour )
When the dough is done rising, punch it down and knead for another 2 to 3 minutes. Then divide the dough in 8 equal parts and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. ( roll the dough parts in your hands until they form a ball and then flatten them to resemble buns.) Cover them again and let them rise for another
30 to 45 minutes. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown, about 12 minutes.
Cool the buns on a rack before slicing them.
