Ingredients
Gather up these goodies to create your soft and fluffy hamburger buns:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Now let’s get this bun party started!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix it well so those flavors start mingling.
- Make a well in the center, then add in the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until everything comes together. You can use your hands or a spatula—whatever suits your vibe!
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until it’s nice and smooth. Don’t skip this step, y’all—the more you knead, the fluffier your buns!
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Then divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it slightly.
- Place the shaped buns on a lined baking sheet, cover them, and let them rise again for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you’re feeling fancy, brush the tops with a little milk and sprinkle sesame seeds on top before baking.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown. Let ’em cool on a wire rack, and then it’s time to dig in!
These buns are perfect for your next cookout or family dinner. Serve them up with your favorite patties, and you’ve got yourself a meal that’s sure to impress. Happy baking, y’all!
