Yes, that’s right, homemade hamburger buns. They are so delicious!
These are so much easier to make than you may think and can be done in under an hour!

Hamburger Buns
Amazing fresh hamburger buns that are ready to ean in under an hour!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp dry active yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- sesame seeds or any other topping mentioned above optional
Instructions
- In a kitchenaid mixer or large bowl mix the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Now add the egg. oil, and salt. Mix.
- If using the kitchenaid mixer, add the flour and mix with bread hook on medium speed for 3-5 minutes. You want a smooth dough.
- If mixing by hand, add 3 cups of flour and mix into a soft dough ball. Turn it out onto a floured surface with the remaining flour. Knead for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth.
- Roll the dough into a ball and stretch out into a long rope and make it as even as possible.
- Cut the dough into 6 to 10 or 12 pieces. I like to use a pizza cutter. Shape each piece into a ball.
- Shape each piece into a round-flat ball. Place them onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Cover with a tea towel and let them rise for 20 minutes
- In the mean time set the oven to 425°
- Bake the buns for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown
- Move to a wire rack to cool
- After they have cooled a bit, brush with butter.
- Now you can add any topping you would like or just leave them buttered.
- Cut in half. I like to toast mine before serving with all the goodies.
- ENJOY!
