How to Make 40 Minute Hamburger Buns
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Stir in salt, melted butter, and egg. Gradually add flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 10 minutes.
- Punch down dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each bun.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds, if desired.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
