How to Make 40 Minute Hamburger Buns

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in salt, melted butter, and egg. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 10 minutes.
  5. Punch down dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
  6. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each bun.
  7. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 10 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds, if desired.
  11. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
