Homemade Burger Buns Recipe

By tschnet1

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 egg
• 3 1/4 cups unbleached flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon quick-rising yeast

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Combine all ingredients and mix by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, until you have a soft, smooth dough.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a slightly damp dish towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.

Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape each piece into a flattened ball.

Place the buns on greased baking sheets, cover completely with a dry dishtowel and let rise for about 45 minutes or until they've puffed up.

Preheat oven to 375°F and bake the buns for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from oven cool buns on a baking rack.

Split and use for burgers or sandwiches.
