👨🍳 How to Make Soft Burger Buns at Home
Step 1: Activate the Yeast
In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 3: Knead the Dough
Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Tip: Add a little flour if sticky, but keep the dough soft for fluffy buns.
Step 4: First Rise
Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 5: Shape the Buns
Divide into 6–8 equal portions. Roll into smooth balls and place on a baking tray. Gently flatten each ball.
Step 6: Second Rise
Cover and let rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy.
Step 7: Bake the Buns
Brush with egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
💡 Tips for Perfect Burger Buns
• Use warm milk, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast
• Don’t over-flour the dough—soft dough = soft buns
• For extra softness, brush buns with butter after baking
• Store in an airtight container for up to 2–3 days
