With this recipe, you’ll have 5 buns for hamburgers. I wish I could say it’s also fast… but this one needs ⏳ time. You’ll need 8 hours. It’s because this recipe isn’t packed with yeast.
What is wrong with the supermarket buns? They are packed with chemicals and additives. If you can find a bun made of only flour, yeast, egg, butter, milk… I will stop baking hamburger buns right away! But I’m still searching.
