🍔 Homemade Hamburger Buns in 35 Minutes (ish) For the buns: • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast • 1 cup warm water (110°F) • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter(80ml) • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g) • 1 large egg • 1 teaspoon kosher salt • 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour (420g) For the egg wash: • 1 egg • 1 tablespoon water • Sesame seeds, for topping (optional) • Melted butter, for brushing after baking (optional) Instructions 1. In a large bowl, combine the yeast, warm water, and sugar. Let stand for 3 minutes, or until foamy. 2. Whisk in the vegetable oil and egg. Add the salt and gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. 3. Knead with a dough hook for 3–5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. 4. Divide the dough into 6–8 equal portions and shape into smooth balls. Do not allow the dough to rise before shaping. 5. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Brush over the buns and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. 7. Bake for 8–12 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter, if desired. 8. Cool slightly before slicing and serving. #hamburgerbuns #homemadebread #bakingfromscratch #homemadebuns #easybreadrecipe
