Introduction
Hamburger buns are a key element of any delicious burger. To create truly exceptional burgers, you need buns that are light, soft, and slightly fluffy. This recipe shows you how to make homemade buns that are the perfect accompaniment to your favorite burger ingredients.
Ingredients
500 g soft wheat flour
7 g instant yeast
250 ml warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
50 g melted butter
1 egg, for brushing
1 tablespoon milk, for brushing
Sesame seeds, optional, for sprinkling
Preparation
In a bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the warm water and melted butter, then knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in volume.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, then gently flatten them to form the buns.
Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rise for another 30 minutes, until they become slightly puffy.
Once the buns have risen a second time, a simple egg-and-milk glaze gives them the golden finish and inviting appearance that makes homemade burger rolls so tempting.
