I love making things from scratch—it tastes better and you know exactly what goes into your food. That’s why I decided to share my recipe for homemade hamburger buns.

Steps

1

Mix the flour, salt, and sugar together, then make a well in the center and add the yeast.
2

Add the milk (make sure it’s slightly warm) while stirring until everything is combined.
3

Add the lightly beaten egg and then the olive oil. Knead until you have a smooth dough that doesn’t stick to your hands.
4

With lightly floured hands, shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 1 1/2 hours.
5

After the dough has rested, place it on a lightly floured surface and gently press out some of the air with your fingertips.
6

Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape each into a bun, stretching the dough so it will rise well. Let them rest for another 45 minutes.
7

After resting, carefully brush the buns with a little water and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes.

Serve and enjoy! Remember, you can also use these buns for an afternoon snack, not just for hamburgers.
