How to Make Airy Hamburger Buns
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 large egg. Whisk until the yeast is dissolved.
- Stir in ¼ cup melted unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Once doubled, gently add another 1-2 cups of flour, until the dough is no longer sticky and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. (If using a stand mixer, knead on low speed for 5 minutes).
- Divide the dough into 6-9 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 the baking sheet with plastic wrap and let the buns rise for another 45 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Brush the warm buns with melted butter.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite burgers, sloppy joes, or simply with butter!
