How to Make Soft Hamburger Buns
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer, combine all ingredients (see below).
- Knead with the dough hook attachment for 4-5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough and divide it into 10-12 equal pieces.
- Let the dough pieces rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Place them fairly close together on a greased baking sheet.
- Gently flatten the tops of each bun with your hand.
- The buns will appear small, but they'll rise significantly during the second proofing.
- Cover the baking sheet and let the buns rise for 45-60 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the egg wash by whisking together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water.
- Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional).
- Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
