Homemade Hamburger Buns (Soft and Fluffy Bread Recipe)

A simple and delicious recipe for homemade hamburger buns that are soft and fluffy, perfect for any burger.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
  7. Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use milk instead of water for the dough.
  • These buns can be frozen after baking for later use.
  • Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
