Homemade hamburger buns

Homemade hamburger buns

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.

Notes

  • Bake the hamburger buns days in advance, I store them in freezer and warm them up for serving hamburgers.
  • The slice of meat for the roast-beefs is perfect for hamburgers.
  • Emmental, Gouda, Cheddar are great for cheeseburger.
