I’ve always enjoyed the Fourth of July.
I grew up in Montana where my hometown started its celebration with a parade on the second of July. I remember standing along the parade route while people on floats threw candy to us kids.
My mother’s family would gather for a picnic on the Fourth. There would be salads that were only served on special occasions. My Grandmother would be at the center of the swirling mass of aunts, uncles and cousins.
Later there would be a rodeo.
Sometimes we went to the rodeo and other times we didn’t. However, we’d always watch the sky for the fireworks that were shot off after the rodeo finished. The beautiful explosions were so big that they could be seen from almost the entire town.
A lot of time has passed since those days. Despite that, some things remain the same.
The Man of the House (TMOTH) and I usually celebrate the Fourth by grilling hamburgers. TMOTH loves to make large, pub-style burgers and I contribute by making the hamburger buns.
After we’ve eaten, we sit on the deck and watch the neighbors’ fireworks.
I hope you all have a happy and safe Fourth of July!
Fourth Of July Recipes for the Bread Machine
I think you’ll really enjoy this hot dog bun recipe for the bread machine. Looking for a good hot dog bun recipe? I tried a lot of them before I found a good one. Then I realized that hot dog buns aren’t hard to make at all. And talk about delicious! One reader writes, “My 27 yr-old son said they were ‘ridiculously good’!”
Looking for a soft, pillowy hot dog bun? Then you’ll love this challah hot dog bun recipe. The buns are incredibly tender. Plus, the egg wash makes them so pretty.
One reader writes, “Absolutely perfect! I have struggled finding any kind of roll recipe that isn’t too dense, dry, chewy or an absolute fail, and this recipe was absolutely spot on!”
These homemade hamburger buns are great for summer burgers cooked on the grill. There is one problem though. Once you’ve tasted these hamburger buns, there’s no going back! You’ll be hooked.
Also, this recipe contains no animal products and is great for people following a vegan diet.
As one reader said, “These were the easiest and most delicious hamburger buns we have ever had. My grandson loved them, as did the entire family! Thank you for this recipe. We truly won’t purchase buns from the store again!”
This challah hamburger bun recipe makes the best hamburger buns I’ve ever had! The challah hamburger buns are different because they’re fluffier, softer and sweeter. They can totally take your hamburgers to the next level!

How about going non-traditional and having pizza for the Fourth
For years we’ve had pizza night once a month. However, we also have it for special occasions. One year we even had pizza for Christmas!
The Man of The House makes the pizza dough in the bread machine. Any more than once a month and we wouldn’t fit through the front door. If we had it any less, we’d have horrific pizza withdrawal symptoms.
Here are two recipes for pizza dough. The recipes tell exactly how TMOTH makes our homemade pizza. Enjoy!
