Yes that’s right homemade hamburger buns. They are so delicious!
These are so much easier than you think and can be done in under an hour! This recipe can be done as is with a nice brush of melted yummy butter or you can add sesame seeds, everything bagel seeds, poppy seeds, onions, garlic, cheese or jalapenos. I mean endless possibilities here!
Sometimes I make them into 8 for thick buns but if you want them thinner you can do 10 or to do sliders you can cut them into 12 pieces. It’s up to you and what you prefer.
Lets get started!
