Burger buns recipe

The formula for a good mood is simple – soft burger buns, juicy burgers, a slice of cheese, fresh lettuce leaves, tomatoes, and good company

Crispy leaves of fresh lettuce and bright tomatoes, cut into even rings create a cushion for juicy, full-flavored meat patties… thin slices of cheese, which after a few seconds in the oven begin to melt so seductively, a little sauce and all this beauty is framed in delicate soft yeasted sesame seed buns… well, you’ve undoubtedly guessed what I’m talking about now … yes, I am talking about them – everyone’s favorite burgers!

Is there anyone who doesn’t love them? And if, by some miracle, such a person is found, it’s only because he or she has never tasted real homemade burgers.

Burger buns are extremely important

Someone will confidently assert that the main role in the burger is played by the meat patties. I don’t deny that it’s very important in this dish, but even if you use excellent juicy minced meat, season it in moderation (so as not to cover the taste of meat), grill it, and then… put it in a sticky, uninteresting, rubber, store-bought bun without taste and character – the whole work of art will be spoiled… and even the most delicious meat patty cannot save such a burger…

The combination of “tasty hamburger patties and tasteless store-bought burger buns” is like:

• an amazingly beautiful picture in an ugly primitive frame
• a lovely woman dressed in ugly clothes …
• a prince who came on a brown pony instead of a white horse (haha …)

There are many comparisons, but the bottom line is that burger buns are just as important as burger patties.

The most delicious sesame seed buns

Well, the question of burger patties and store-bought buns is sorted out. But not everything is so simple, because homemade burger buns can be very different – too sweet, tasteless, some have extremely hard baked crust, others have such a dense consistency that they can easily stand in a row with store-bought buns.

But there are also perfect homemade burgers buns –  you’ll want to eat them all at once, without even waiting for them to cool down.

Take a piece of paper, a pen and write down the best burger buns recipe

I haven’t tasted more delicious burger buns yet. They are fabulous not only with meat patties, but also with butter, cheese, a slice of ham or salami, pate, hummus. Or just with a glass of milk.

Everything about these sesame seed buns is wonderful:

• Consistency. It’s like biting into a delicate cloud. They are amazingly soft, but they aren’t sticky, like store-bought burger buns.
• Taste. It is perfectly balanced, the dough is neither too salty nor too sweet.
• Aroma. It’s difficult to describe in words, this miracle must certainly be breathed in deeply… enjoy it like morning freshness!
• Crust. It’s very important when it comes to baked goods such as burger buns. But in no case should it be hard or crispy. Not in this case. Here we need a soft crust – this is exactly what these buns have.

Sprinkle these soft hamburger buns with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or simply brush them with milk and egg for the most delicious baked goods in the world.

Ingredients

Flour. All–purpose flour is perfect for this recipe.

Milk. It should be warm, but not hot.

Active dry yeast.

Sugar. It’s very important not only in sweet buns. Sugar activates yeast and balances the taste.

Eggs.

Salt.

Butter. It has to be soft, so leave it for some hours at room temperature.

+ egg and milk for the egg wash

Burger buns recipe

Stir warm milk, yeast and sugar

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes at room temperature

Beat the eggs with a whisk

Add them to the milk, yeast and sugar mixture

Add flour, salt and butter

Knead the dough (it will be sticky
enough, but don’t add more flour)

Leave it to rise in a warm place (it should double in volume)

Transfer the dough to a table sprinkled with flour and knead it lightly. Because the dough is quite sticky, it will be easier to work with if you sprinkle your hands with flour from time to time.

Divide the dough into 10 identical parts. Form round buns from them, place them on a baking sheet covered with baking paper and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes.

For the egg wash: beat the egg with milk

Brush the top of the buns with this egg wash. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds

Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180° C (360F) (they should be slightly browned on top, but remain soft). Bon Appetit!

Can you freeze hamburger buns?

Yes. Freezing hamburger buns is very easy – bake them, let them cool completely. Then wrap each bun in cling film and freeze it. When necessary, remove the burger buns from the freezer, leave them to thaw in the fridge overnight, warm them in the oven and they will be as freshly baked.
