Homemade Hamburger Buns

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Add melted butter and the egg to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  6. After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round bun and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the buns. Cover them again with a towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Your homemade hamburger buns are now ready to be assembled with your favorite burgers!
