Instructions

Step 1

Melt the Butter

Melt the unsalted butter and allow it to cool to room temperature before using it in the dough.

Step 2

Activate the Yeast

In a bowl, mix the warm water with the dry yeast and a teaspoon of sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until foamy.

Step 3

Mix the Dough

Add the melted butter, salt, honey, egg, and warm milk to the yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly. Gradually add the flour, mixing well after each addition. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Let the Dough Rise

Lightly oil a bowl and place the dough in it. Cover the bowl with a towel and set it in a warm spot to rise for 1.5 to 2 hours until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Shape the Buns

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 9 to 10 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball.

Step 6

Second Rise

Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Cover with a towel and allow them to rise for another 40 to 60 minutes.

Step 7

Preheat the Oven

While the buns are proofing, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

Step 8

Glaze and Bake

Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the risen buns. Sprinkle sesame seeds generously on top. Place the buns in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

Step 9

Cool and Enjoy

Once baked, remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve them warm with your favorite burgers!

Variations

If you or your guests have dietary restrictions, don’t worry! There are easily adaptable **gluten-free** and **vegan** options to consider. 🌱

For Gluten-Free: Substitute regular flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to add a little xanthan gum to help bind the dough together. The texture will still be delightful and perfect for your burgers! 🥯

For Vegan: Replace the butter with coconut oil or a plant-based spread, and swap the egg for a flaxseed meal mixture (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water, left to sit until it thickens). Your vegan friends will appreciate the effort! 🌍💚

Faq

  • Can I make the dough in advance?

    Yes, you can prepare the dough the night before and refrigerate it after the first rise. Just let it come to room temperature before shaping!

  • What should I do if my dough doesn’t rise?

    Make sure your yeast is fresh and that your liquids are warm, not hot. If the dough doesn't rise, try giving it more time in a warm place.

  • Can I freeze the buns?

    Absolutely! Once the buns have cooled, freeze them in a zip-lock bag. Just reheat them in the oven when ready to use.

  • How can I make my buns softer?

    To achieve a softer texture, consider adding a tablespoon of milk powder to your dry ingredients or an extra tablespoon of butter.

  • What flavor variations can I try for these buns?

    You can add herbs, garlic powder, or even cheese to the dough to create a unique flavor that complements your burgers!

  • I want to make a larger batch. Can I double the recipe?

    Yes, you can double the ingredients! Just ensure you have ample space for all the dough to rise.
