Homemade Sesame Seed Hamburger Buns

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 package) active dry yeast
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Sesame seeds, for topping

Instructions:

  1. Activate the Yeast:
    • In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.
  2. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the melted butter, egg, and yeast mixture. Mix until the dough comes together.
  3. Knead the Dough:
    • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
    • Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment and knead on medium speed for about 5 minutes.
  4. First Rise:
    • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat all sides with oil. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, until it has doubled in size.
  5. Shape the Buns:
    • Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
    • Place the balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them for spreading. Gently flatten each ball with your hand.
  6. Second Rise:
    • Cover the shaped buns with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes, until they have puffed up.
  7. Prepare for Baking:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Brush the tops of the buns with the beaten egg for a shiny finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  8. Bake:
    • Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
  9. Cool:
    • Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

Serve:

  • Slice the buns horizontally and use them for your favorite burgers or sandwiches. Enjoy your homemade sesame seed hamburger buns!
