Hamburger buns
Having been confined at home for several weeks, I'm craving for a good cheeseburger. Unfortunately, it is really hard to find ready-to-eat hamburger buns in supermarkets where I live, in Japan.
Cooking time says 4 hours, but most of it is waiting! Just make sure you're getting started early enough to have your buns ready when it's time to assemble burgers.
I found this recipe online and made a few adjustments before my first time baking:
- converted all quantities to metric
- adjusted for 4 buns
- reduced sugar
Giving credit where it's due, here's a link to the original: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/233652/homemade-hamburger-buns/

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Whisk dry yeast, 30 grams of flour and the warm water into a bowl.
Let stand until mixture is foamy (should be 15 minutes). - 2
Beat the egg with a whisk and split it into two equal halves. Set one half aside to coat the buns later.
- 3
Mix one half of the beaten egg with the melted butter, sugar and salt into the yeast mixture, then add the remaining flour (195g).
- 4
Knead the dough until soft and sticky, 5 to 6 minutes. You want a sticky, tacky dough, but not so sticky that big chunks stay attached to your spatula or fingers, so add flour or water if necessary.
- 5
Form the dough into a smooth, round shape, tucking loose ends underneath.
- 6
Coat a clean bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, set the dough ball in and rotate it a few times to cover it with a thin amount of oil. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil, then let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours (the dough volume should double).
- 7
Transfer the dough back to a lightly floured surface. (You don't want to use too much flour!) Pat it to flatten the air bubbles, then form into a shape, 1 to 2 cm thick, that you can easily cut into 4 equal pieces.
- 8
Form each piece into a round shape, very gently tucking loose ends underneath. Then pat and stretch them into flat discs 1 to 2 cm thick.
- 9
Arrange the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Expect them to rise and double in volume, so space them enough. (You might want them to barely touch each other after rising, to get that typical hamburger bun look.)
- 10
Dust very lightly with flour then drape with plastic wrap. (No tight seal!) Let buns rise for about 1 more hour (they should double in volume again).
- 11
Preheat oven to 190ºC.
- 12
Mix thoroughly milk with the other half beaten egg. Using a brush, apply the egg wash very gently to lightly coat the top of the buns.
Be careful not to deflate the risen dough!
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- 13
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on top (should be 15 to 17 minutes). Let cool completely before tearing apart, slicing in halves and making burgers!

Time to make burgers!

Hamburger Buns Hamburger Buns
I made a lot of hamburger steaks, so the next day, I decided to make hamburgers.If you want have a nice, round shape, you can use a circular mold for English muffins (9 cm diameter, 2.5 cm high).If making them by hand, cut thick paper into a cylinder, connect the ends with a stapler, and wrap the entire surface with aluminum foil. (For buns, make it about 10 cm diameter.) Recipe by DUFFYchan

Hamburger Buns (Soft) Hamburger Buns (Soft)
I used to make buns with recipes for hard hamburger buns, but I was looking for a softer variation that blends well with the filling. This recipe makes soft and delicious buns without any trouble.Usually there's a lot of rules for baking, but you can make this nice and easy by mixing everything together for primary fermentation, then divide for secondary fermentation. Eat as it is, or toast. The dough will settle down and be firmer from the next day. For 18 after dividing dough into 50 g portions. Recipe by mitesolo -

Homemade Hamburger Buns Homemade Hamburger Buns
Buns that go well with burgers are slightly sweet, soft, not very chewy and easy to bite through. This is a recipe with thought-out ingredient ratios to be used exclusively for hamburger buns. Please enjoy the buns with the patties in another recipe!I used shortening instead of butter on purpose. Please be sure to add the shortening later in the kneading process. Please be sure to use castor sugar (or superfine sugar).The oven is very hot so use thick oven mitts and be careful not to burn yourself. Recipe by Uniikura -

Sesame Seed Hamburger Buns Sesame Seed Hamburger Buns
I wanted to try making hamburger buns out of ordinary bread dough.The pictures I used feature dough balls that are 70~75 g -- a little on the light side. The main profile picture (showing the hamburger patties) have buns made from 80 g balls of dough. They can become a little tall, so if you want to cut them into 3 slices, so weigh the dough to 80-85 g. Recipe by Narimofugi -
