I know, I know, burger buns are cheap so why go through the hassle of making them yourself? For the taste, that is why! Do not get caught up with just buying them because you think bread is hard to make. These are so incredibly easy to make and taste so much better! You can even switch them up to be to your liking, whether that may be a good ol’ fashioned topping of sesame seeds, or adding a little pineapple juice to the dough for sweeter flavor.
Check out what our friends over at A Healthy Slice Of Life had to say about these:
“A good bun makes all the difference in taking a burger from fair to outstanding, so pull out a few simple ingredients and wow your family with this bread machine hamburger bun recipe!”
These are the reason I invested in a bread machine and they are worth every single penny!
Ingredients
1¼ c McArthur milk (I used 2%)
1 egg, beaten
¼ c Domino sugar
¾ tsp salt
3¾ c Gold Medal bread flour
1¼ tsp yeast
1 egg white
2 Tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
In the bread machine, place the following ingredients in order: milk, beaten egg, bread flour, sugar, and salt.
Make a small indentation in the middle of the ingredients and pour the yeast into the hole.
Push bread machine to dough setting and hit start.
Once the cycle is complete (1 hour and 50 minutes on my machine), place dough onto a floured surface and roll out to ½ inch to 1 inch thick (1/2 inch will create slightly thinner buns while 1 inch will create large, fluffy buns).
Using the open mouth of a mason jar or a3.5″ round cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles and put them on two baking sheets.
Place the baking sheets in a warm place and allow to ride until they double in size (about one hour).
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of each bun with the egg white wash and sprinkle on sesame seeds.
Bake 10-12 minutes until baked through and slightly golden on top. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: Make these in different sizes for different sized patties.
