Hamburger Buns

These hamburger buns have a soft and chewy texture.
The story behind this recipe
While I was out of rice, I often ate hamburgers as a substitute for bread and noodles (haha). I had been adjusting a bun recipe for a while, so I decided to finalize it this time. I didn't want to crack an egg just for the egg wash, so I minimized it and used the egg from the ingredients.
Makes 8 buns using a 3.5-inch round mold. For 4-inch molds, increase the recipe by 1.2 times.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Beat the egg and take out 1 teaspoon into a separate dish. Mix 1 teaspoon of water with the reserved egg and refrigerate. This is for the finishing glaze.
- 2
Add water to the remaining egg and milk to make a total of 215 grams. Combine the egg, milk, and water to reach 215 grams.
- 3
Mix the bread flour, cake flour (or rice flour), sugar, salt, yeast, and skim milk together. Add the liquid from step 2, unsalted butter, and vegetable oil.
- 4
Mix with a spatula until the flouriness disappears, then knead thoroughly with a bread machine or kneading tool until a gluten membrane forms.
- 5
Once kneaded, shape into a neat ball, cover to prevent drying, and let it rise for the first fermentation. (Kneading to first fermentation can be left to a bread machine, probably okay). I use a mochi maker (haha).
- 6
When it has doubled in size, the first fermentation is complete. Punch down the dough, divide into 8 equal parts, shape into neat balls, place seam side down, cover to prevent drying, and let rest for about 15 minutes.
- 7
During the resting time, grease the molds and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, placing the molds slightly apart.
- 8
After the resting time, punch down the dough and reshape into flat rounds. Make them slightly smaller than the molds and place them in the molds.
- 9
Cover to prevent drying and let rise for the second fermentation in the oven at 95°F (35°C) for 30-40 minutes. It's ready when the dough rises slightly above the top of the molds.
- 10
Brush with the reserved egg for glaze. Top with sesame seeds if desired. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- 11
Cool on a wire rack after baking, and store covered once cooled to prevent drying.
- 12
Adjust kneading and fermentation times, as well as baking temperature and time, based on the dough's condition.
- 13
Both cake flour and rice flour work well. Rice flour gives a slightly chewier texture and a crisper surface. Both are hard to resist (haha).
- 14
When making hamburgers, slice the buns, toast the cut sides until crisp, spread with butter or margarine, and add your fillings.

This is the rice flour version.

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 cookpad.japan -
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 cookpad.japan -

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 cookpad.japan -
