Hamburger Buns - How to Make Homemade Burger Buns

[petervanderzee]

ok, and for those who really want the metric system measurements, here they are:

3 1/3 cup = about 450 grams of flower
1 package dry yeast = 7 grams
1 cup of water = 240 ml
1 large egg = exactly the same :)
3 tablespoons of butter = molten 45 ml or hard 42 grams
3 tablespoons of sugar = 37.5 grams
1 1/4 teaspoons of salt = about 5 grams

1 tablespoon of milk = 15 ml
375 Fahrenheit = 190.5556 degrees Celsius so 190 C :)

your welcome :)

And foodwishes, thank you very much for this recipe, it is indeed delicious.

Just made these. Followed recipe exactly. He wasn’t lying. Best hamburger bun ever. Held up perfectly. Also made his ultimate berry crumble for dessert. Delish!

And for us using the metric system...

Ingredients for 8 large hamburger buns:
1 package (2 1/2 tsp) dry active yeast (I used Fleischmann's “RapidRise” Yeast)
2, 4 dl very warm water
1 large egg
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
450 gram all-purpose flour (about 8, 5 dl)
Note: add 1, 2 dl of the flour to the yeast and water, and then the remainder before kneading

for the tops:
1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp milk
sesame seeds
*bake at 190C for 15-17 minutes

Winter snow storm, and stuck at home..  so, I gave this a try.  I didnt expect much, as my baking skills are quite sad.  They turned out so perfect, that I had to get in the car and risk the ice & snow covered roads to get some fresh ground beef to make a burger.   Chef John almost killed me today..

These buns are truly "the best for hamburgers!" It holds the meat and other fillings in until you finish eating the whole burger. Brioche buns are too soft and sweet, they tear apart or get soggy and the burger collapses. Store-bought ones don't taste good. But these Chef John buns are JUST RIGHT for the burgers!! I usually have not so much luck with bread baking, but these turned out so perfect. Thank you, Chef.

I made these today, recommended by my twin who made them yesterday. They are the best and what I loved about them is they did not fall apart, like store bought buns. Thank you, Food Wishes for the best ever hamburger buns recipe and the fabulous end result.

Second time making them last night and I had to cut my guest list down to 8 since everyone heard about last time. These are soo good! Pared them with home ground Tri tip burgers and it was delicious! Thank you chef John!

I just, so much, enjoy Chef John's tutorials! Entertaining, so funny, and very informative. "Sir Mix-A-Lot", LOL! I just love it! Thank you, You are my 'go-to, instructor for making foods!!!

[ymehair]

I made these for our BBQ pulled pork and now I am forever making hamburger buns! Thanks so much! These are great! So easy and way better then store bought hands down!

[ChrisB]

I just made these. And to think of all the time I wasted trying to make sour bread that tasted good. Perfect recipe. Thank you, Chef John!

[shadowseon]

I thought these would be difficult because my bread always comes out too dense or dry or something. But these turned out AMAZING. I made them by hand cause I don't have a mixer and I was really worried but the final result was exactly like Chef John described -- light, fluffy, springy, but definitely sturdy. A simply perfect bun. Thank you Chef John! :D

Dear Chef John, you have no idea how many times, mid preparation, I rushed back to youtube watching the steps again and again.. Your instructions are very clear.. I am just a tad slow :-) plus I just love this video. I can watch again and again and it makes me happy :-) 

Now the bun is on the final proofing. I can't wait.

I can NOT say enough about how tremendous these buns are. I haven’t bought buns since I started making these about three months ago. I do not vary the recipe at ALL, except to make 10 slightly smaller buns as opposed to the eight. Still perfect for quarter to half-pound burgers. They are easy and delicious! ❤️❤️

[AndyCandyZeroSugar]

Now I'm sad but watching Chef John bake and listening to him makes me happy. Thank you Chef John :)

OK! I made these buns yesterday (March 23, 2019) and let me just tell you these were the MOST wonderful buns EVER! I made these without using a dough hook! And these buns still came out like FiRE!!!! AWESOME!!!! BEST RECIPE of ALL TIME!!!!

[luckydelauta]

Sorry I'm about 7 years late to the party but I just tried this recipe today and these buns were the best I've ever had. Better late than never, right?

[Olibelus]

Made these today roughly according to your recipe and, no joke, they turned out PERFECT, admitting I left the dough rise for 1 not 2 hours and 30 mins not 1 hour cos I couldn't be bothered. Nonetheless they were amazing. Thanks a lot Chef John

I came here because I was curious about how to make hamburger buns and the first thing that kept me watching was the way you were talking lol I'm subscribing! And then omg your sir mix a lot jokes were just over the roof hilarious! I'm dying here.

I made these last night because going to the grocery store just for hamburger buns didn’t seem like a necessary trip under the new covid-19 recommendations. I’m so glad I made these. They were amazing! Even my five year old, who previously hated hamburgers, ate a burger and said it was delicious. Thank you for converting my burger hating kid into a burger loving kid.

Oh my, I made these tonight and my husband said that these were the best Hamburger Buns he's ever had-soft, flavorful and buttery. Thank you for sharing. No more store bought buns for us. Amazing.
