Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 0.5 cup Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 whole Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk until blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes by hand (or 5-6 minutes in a stand mixer with a dough hook) until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch the dough down to release the air and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, leaving space between each ball to allow for expansion.
Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to create a bun shape. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the tops of the buns with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) and sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top for flavor and decoration.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Enjoy these homemade hamburger buns with your favorite burger patties and toppings!
