Best homemade Hamburger Buns recipe!

milliliters water

dry active yeast (8 grams/0.28 oz.)

tbsps butter

tsp salt

tbsps sugar

all-purpose flour (18.5-19.5 oz.)

tbsp milk

(or 75 grams/2.65 oz. melted butter)

sesame seeds

To prepare this homemade hamburger buns recipe, start by making the dough. Add in the mixer&#8217;s bowl the yeast, the warm water and 50g flour (5 tbsps). Using a hand whisk, whisk all the ingredients to form a batter. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for 6-7 minutes, until the yeast rises and starts bubbling. Be careful not do add hot water, as it will kill the yeast, nor cold, as it will take forever for your hamburger buns to rise. The water should be at the same temperature as your finger, so check it out sticking one finger in; you should feel no difference in temperature.

In the meantime melt the butter. The key is to melt the butter at very low heat, so that the temperature doesn&#8217;t kill the yeast. Remove the pan from the stove and check the temperature. The butter should be at the same temperature as your finger. If it is warmer, leave to cool down for a few minutes and check again.

Pour the butter in the yeast mixture and add the egg and sugar. Whisk to combine. Top with the flour and add the salt.

Using the dough hook mix at first at low speed, until the ingredients start to combine and then mix at medium-high speed for about 10 minutes, until the dough doesn&#8217;t stick on the sides of the bowl. At this point the dough should be really soft and a little sticky. (Be careful not to add any more flour than this homemade hamburger buns recipe calls for, as the dough should be really soft and not firm).

Coat lightly the dough with oil and place in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until doubled in size. If the environment is cold, preheat the oven at 30C, turn it off and place the bowl inside.

Gently deflate the dough and place on a lightly floured working surface. Dust your hands with flour and divide in 8 equal sized pieces (approx. 115 g./4 oz. each). Form each piece into a round shape, gently tucking ends underneath. Gently pat the dough rounds into flat disc shapes about 1.5 cm thick. Arrange the hamburger buns on a large baking tray lined with parchment paper and dust very lightly with flour. Drape some plastic wrap over the baking sheet and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 180C and beat the egg and milk in a small bowl. Lightly brush the top of each hamburger bun with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in preheated oven for about 16-17 minutes until nicely coloured. Place the hamburger buns on a rack to cool down completely before cutting and store in airtight container for 1-2 days.

Make shiny, beautiful burger buns with a soft crumb.  It&#039;s easy to get perfect dough when you use your bread machine!

Bread Machine Burger Buns

all purpose flour

water

salt

sugar

butter ((softened at room temperature))

instant yeast

Add the ingredients to the bread machine.  Place all dough ingredients (flour, water, salt, sugar, butter, egg, and yeast) into the bread machine, following the order recommended by your machine’s manufacturer.  Then, select the dough cycle and press start.

Monitor the dough consistency.  During the first few minutes of mixing, check the dough’s consistency.  It should be smooth and slightly tacky, pulling away cleanly from the sides of the bread machine bucket.  If the dough is too sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time.  If it’s too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time.  Let the cycle complete.

First rise.  When the machine beeps, the dough should be soft, puffy, and have risen significantly.  It should almost reach the top of the bread machine bucket.

Divide and shape.  Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Using a sharp knife or dough scraper, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.  (For even rolls, divide the dough in half, then in quarters, and so on.)  Then, gently shape each piece into a round ball by pulling the sides of the dough underneath to create a smooth top.  Place the shaped rolls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each roll.  Gently flatten them with your palm to form a slight dome.  Brush each roll with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.

Second rise.  Cover the rolls loosely with heavily greased plastic wrap to prevent sticking.  Then, place the baking sheet in a warm spot and let the rolls rise until they are very puffy about 45 minutes.  Toward the end of the rising time, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), with the rack positioned in the center.

Bake.  Bake the rolls for 14-17 minutes until they are golden brown.  The egg wash will give them a shiny, richly colored crust.  The rolls should feel firm outside but soft to the touch.

Let it cool.  Remove the rolls from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.  For best results, wait until the buns are fully cooled before slicing.

First time I’ve made hamburger buns and they turned out amazing!  They taste as good as they look and are super soft.  Waaaay better than store bought and very easy to make.  I’ll be making these a lot for buns, bread rolls, etc.  Next time I will make them a little smaller to make more.  Great recipe - thanks!

Excellent! I use this for dinner rolls as well.

These were fantastic, I got 12 perfect buns from my batch. They stayed nice and tall &amp; sliced beautifully. The crumb was light and they held up to the last bite of chicken sandwich, sauce toppings and all. Definitely going in my regular rotation and I appreciate that they don't need pricey bread flour!

Made these minus the sesame seeds and omggg! They came out so pretty and soft. Once I cut it open…the texture and smell was perfect! I was able to freeze a few for later! My new go to recipe! :)

These are amazing!! I've made this recipe countless times over the past 2 years.  My family requests them anytime we need buns and I'm happy to oblige! They are so soft and taste a lot like fuddruckers buns (now i just need to find a recipe for their cheese sauce lol).  I've even made the dough into hoagie rolls with great success.

I do believe that this is my number one recipe for hamburger buns 
Thank you for sharing

I've made these several times lately and they come out perfectly every time. My family doesn't mind simple burger dinners on repeat as long as I make these buns. So easy! Trish
