How to Make Hamburger Buns Par Excellence
- In a large bowl, combine warm water (105-115°F), yeast (2 ¼ tsp), and sugar (1 tbsp). Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour (4 cups all-purpose), salt (1 tsp), and bread flour (1 cup).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if needed.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the buns with milk or egg wash for a glossy finish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
