Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 count Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast or bread machine yeast
- 1 count Egg (for egg wash, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Add the warm water, milk, egg, softened butter, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan, in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Carefully add the bread flour on top of the liquid ingredients. Create a small well in the flour and add the instant yeast or bread machine yeast into the well.
Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' setting and allow it to mix, knead, and rise. This process usually takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Once the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions for standard hamburger buns, or 10 portions for smaller buns.
Shape each portion into a smooth ball. Press down gently to flatten each ball slightly into a bun shape. Place the buns onto a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to rise.
Cover the buns loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for 30 to 40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, whisk the additional egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and transfer the buns to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice the buns horizontally before serving with your favorite burger or sandwich fillings. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
