I will never buy hamburger buns again! I LOVE this recipe. I use to make homemade buns for my sloppy joes from my roll recipe, but they were always to soft. This recipe is amazing, the buns are moist yet firm! Another plus is they are super easy and fast to make. I promise, once you try them, you won't go back!! Yummy!!
Homemade Hamburger Buns
Ingredients:
1 cup lukewarm water
2 T unsalted butter, room temperature, creamed
1 egg
2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour (approximately)
1/4 cup sugar
1 t salt
1 T instant yeast
1 egg yolk (+1 T water)
sesame seeds (optional)
Directions:
Sprinkle the yeast into the water and leave for 5-10 minutes, until frothy. Stir to dissolve. Add remaining ingredients and mix well(I do this in my kitchen-aid). I let this knead in my Kitchen-Aid for ~10 minutes, until it is a soft, smooth dough. You could knead by hand on a lightly floured surface. I leave it in my mixer bowl, cover and let rise for 1 - 1 1/2 hour, until doubled in size. Divide dough into 8 pieces and shape into a flattened ball. Place the buns on a greased baking sheet, cover and let rise again for 30-40 minutes until puffy and doubled in size. Preheat oven to 375degrees. Glaze the buns with egg yolk and water mixture, then sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake the buns for 12 - 15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove them from the oven and cool them on a wire rack.
