How to Make 40 Minute Hamburger Buns

  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.
