This is a fast method for making hamburger buns without much preparation. They may not look as nice, but they taste great and fulfill the need for a quickly made bun.

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare a light colored cookie sheet by placing parchment paper on it, or spraying with nonstick spray.
2. Place frozen loaf of Tracey's Treats frozen millet bread dough on a microwaveable, nonstick surface, such as a piece of plastic wrap sprayed with nonstick spray.
3. Microwave loaf for 45 seconds, turn over, then microwave for 45 more seconds, or until just thawed enough to get a knife through the loaf with a little effort. Don't microwave too long or the dough will become too sticky to work with easily.
4. Using a sharp knife sprayed with nonstick spray, slice the dough into 4 - 8 pieces (photo 1). The number of slices and width of each slice is variable according to how thick of a bun is desired.
5. Note: The two ends will probably be more rounded than the middle slices. The ends can be (1) sliced thinner and placed on top of one another to make one bun; or (2) baked as sliced, then used as dinner rolls; or (3) sliced as thick as the other pieces, then flattened out on the cookie sheet using the sprayed plastic wrap, so as to make a more desirable bun shape.
6. Place the sliced dough onto the prepared cookie sheet (photo2).
7. Bake hamburger buns for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
8. Let cool on rack (photo 3).
