Homemade hamburger buns aren't just for burgers. Use these burger buns with any of your favorite sandwich fillings, or form them into smaller balls to make slider buns.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Optional: Melted butter and sesame seeds
Directions
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 3-5 minutes. Do not let rise. Divide into 12 pieces; shape each into a ball. Place 3 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Preheat oven to 425°.
- Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Bake until golden brown, 8-12 minutes. If desired, brush with butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Here on our ranch, I cook for three men who love burgers. These fluffy hamburger buns are just right for their big appetites. The buns are so good that I also serve them plain with a meal. —Jessie McKenney, Twodot, Montana
