Hi Bold Bakers! Since no BBQ, picnic, beach day, or camping trip is complete without an incredible burger I decided this summer was the time to show you how to make my 1-Hour Homemade Hamburger Buns! Already have an account? Since a burger is only really as good as its bun, you DO NOT want to go for those flavorless, store-bought buns! My Homemade Hamburger Buns are made with real yeast, milk, flour, a bit of butter, some sugar — and that’s it! Topped just like the real deal with sesame seeds, these look like the quintessential Hamburger Buns, but the flavor is tenfold! This bun recipe is right on time for 4th of July and you’re going to LOVE them!
How Do You Shape Hamburger Buns?
One of my talents is working with dough. There is a little bit of a trick to shaping the dough into a nice clean bun. The trick is not to use both hands, rolling the dough around between your palms, but rather to use one hand to push the dough against the palm of your other hand, smoothing it out and tucking in the seams. Once you have one side nice and smooth place it seam-side down on your tray, revealing a smooth rounded bun! If it’s not perfect or you don’t get it nice and smooth on the first try, no worries, this takes practice!
How Do These Hamburger Buns Only Take an Hour?
The dough will rise 1 time for 20 minutes, then after being shaped, they rise for another 20 minutes. Lastly, they are baked for 18-20 minutes. You don’t have to be an expert bread baker to make the most incredible bakery style Hamburger Buns at home.
How Long Do Hamburger Buns Last?
These buns can be made 2-3 days in advance depending on if you’re going to toast your buns or not. If you’re going to serve them un-toasted they are nice and fluffy for up to 2 days. If you still have them after 2 days, I suggest toasting them.
How to Store Hamburger Buns
To store your Hamburger Buns, cover them in an airtight container at room temperature. Also, they can be frozen for up to 4 weeks.
Tips and tricks to making Burger Buns
