Burger Buns: Simple 1 Hour Recipe

Ingredients:

400g (3 cups) flour
42g (2 tablespoons) honey
8g (1.5 teaspoons) instant dry yeast
5g (1 teaspoon) salt
240ml (1 cup) lukewarm (105F/50C) milk
28g (2 tablespoons) melted butter (use less than 5g of salt if you use salted butter)
1 beaten egg
Beaten eggs for brushing (optional)
Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions:

Here’s a simple burger bun recipe that takes only about an hour.

Start by combining the milk, honey, butter, and yeast. Stir them together until well mixed. Let it sit for a few minutes until the yeast becomes frothy and activated.

Add the egg, flour, and salt. Mix all the ingredients together until they form a sticky dough.

Cover and let the dough sit for 5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the gluten to relax.

Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes until a smooth ball forms. If the dough feels sticky, use a bench scraper or move your hands faster as you knead.

Then divide up the big ball into smaller balls. I use 120 grams for Big Mac style buns with a middle section, and 100 grams for normal buns.

Shape each piece into a round ball by tucking the edges underneath and rolling it between your hands. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each bun.

Press down on each bun to flatten them a little bit.

Cover the buns with the kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rise for 15 minutes until they puff up slightly.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Brush the tops with egg and then optionally sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Bake the buns for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

Slice in three sections for Big Mac buns and two sections for regular buns. Add butter and toast them on your pan or griddle. And then assemble your burgers. The buns are light and fluffy and hold together well.

This is the best, THE BEST, burger bun recipe I've come across! Have made it 3 times already, perfect everytime!

If there's someone like me who accidentally used active dry yeast before reading the full recipe and seeing "instant yeast"... it'll still work 😅 I just let my yeast proof the full 10min and then let my buns rise for 20ish min instead of 15. Came out just fine and VERY yummy 😋 love this recipe!

I made this recipe without the egg and only used egg for the egg wash and they stayed soft for over a week. ❤❤❤

Made these last night and my husband ate 2 veggie burgers then ate 2 more buns after I went to bed! Won't be making these diet crashers too often! Thanks 😊

Currently in a snowstorm and realized I forgot buns for our burgers. I just made these and they came out so perfect so easily. ❤

Making these today for the holiday. Buns at the store to me aren’t worth the price since I’m only grilling for myself this year. I’ll be making hamburger buns and hotdog buns from the recipe. Thank you for posting!

Made these today but halved the recipe as I was only making a few sliders. Used 1 large beaten egg, 2 tablespoons for the dough and reserved the rest for brushing before baking. I baked two buns at first and found that it's crucial to flatten them a bit so you don't end up with a bun sphere.😆 Sesame seeds are a must as they add great flavor that compliments the bun. Delicious! Will definitely use this recipe again. TYSM for sharing!
