Aug 08, 2025 01:21 PM
Making your own hamburger buns is a game-changer! These are soft with just the right amount of crumb (very important), a sturdy exterior and the classic seeds on top. They freeze well and reheat wonderfully. If you're apprehensive about working with yeast, I share all my tips to guide you.
With just a handful of pantry staples and about 3 hours, mostly hands-off time, you'll have soft and golden burger buns, and you'll wonder why you ever settled for anything else.
There's something deeply satisfying about pulling warm hamburger buns from your own oven. The aroma alone will have your family gathering in the kitchen.
Make a batch and freeze them. You can warm them up when the need arises. Also, you can bake small slider buns and hot dog buns with this dough.
