Foolproof Burger Buns
Directions
- 1Add 1/3 cup of warm water to the electric mixer bowl.
- 2Add 3/4 cup of warm milk to the bowl. I microwaved it for 30 seconds straight from the fridge.
- 3Add 2 teaspoons of yeast to the mixture.
- 4Add about a tablespoon and a half of honey (or sugar if preferred).
- 5Whisk the ingredients well and let sit on the counter for about 5 minutes.
- 6Add a quarter cup of melted butter to the frothy mixture.
- 7Crack in one egg.
- 8Add a sprinkle of salt, as salted butter was used.
- 9Add 3 1/2 cups of flour in total, mixing in batches with an electric mixer.
- 10Grease the bowl with some olive oil and place the dough back in.
- 11Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for about one hour.
- 12Cut the rested dough into eight equal pieces, weighing between 115 to 120 grams each.
- 13Roll each piece of dough into a ball by stretching the edges and tucking in the seams.
- 14Place the dough balls onto a cookie tray lined with parchment paper.
- 15Cover the dough balls and let them do a second rest for about 30 minutes.
- 16Brush the rested buns with egg wash.
- 17Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the buns (optional, I'm leaving two without for Harper).
- 18Bake the buns in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.
