Your burgers will never be the same! 🥰 #burgerbuns #breadrecipe #gamechanger #easybreadrecipes #carbsdontmakeyoufat 🌾 **Easy Homemade Burger Buns** **Ingredients (makes 8 buns)** * 1 cup warm water (110°F) * 2 tbsp granulated sugar * 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet) * 3 tbsp melted butter (or oil) * 1 large egg * 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour * 1 tsp salt **For topping:** * 1 egg (for egg wash) * 1 tbsp water * Sesame seeds ⭐️ **Instructions** **1. Activate the yeast** In a large bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit **5–8 minutes** until foamy. **2. Mix the dough** Add the melted butter and egg. Whisk. Then add the flour and salt. Stir until a shaggy dough forms. **3. Knead** Knead by hand or mixer for **6–8 minutes** until soft, smooth, and slightly tacky (not sticky). If too sticky, add 1–2 tbsp extra flour. **4. First rise** Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise **1 hour** or until doubled. **5. Shape your buns** Turn dough onto a floured surface. Divide into **8 equal pieces**. Shape each into a smooth ball by tucking the edges under. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment, spaced apart. **6. Flatten** Gently press each dough ball into a disc—about **4 inches wide**. (They rise UP, so flattening gives the perfect burger shape.) **7. Second rise** Cover and let rise another **30–40 minutes**, until puffy. **8. Egg wash + sesame seeds** Whisk egg + 1 tbsp water. Brush over buns. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds. **9. Bake** Bake at **375°F (190°C) for 15–17 minutes** until golden brown on top. **10. Cool** Let cool completely before slicing—this keeps them soft and fluffy. 🍔 **Tips for PERFECT Buns** * Brush tops with **melted butter** after baking for extra softness. * If you want BIG burger buns, divide into **6 pieces** instead of 8. * For sweeter, Hawaiian-style buns, increase sugar to **3 tbsp**.
