Welcome to my channel!
Today, I’m excited to share my go-to recipe for Soft and Fluffy Burger Buns! These buns are incredibly light and perfect for any homemade burger or sandwich.

Let’s get started!

Ingredients (Burger Buns):
1 large egg, at room temperature
200 grams of warm water (about 3/4 cup, 105–120°F / 40–49°C)
3 tablespoons whole milk (about 44 grams, also warm 105–120°F)
8 grams instant yeast (about 2 teaspoons)
30 grams granulated sugar (about 2½ tablespoons)
1 ½ teaspoons salt
43 grams unsalted butter, softened (about 3 tablespoons)
42 grams all-purpose flour (about 1/3 cup)
380–440 grams bread flour (3 to 3½ cups, use high-protein flour ≥12%)

For Egg Wash:
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
Sesame seeds (optional)

Prepare the Dough:
Activate the yeast (if needed):
If you're unsure if your yeast is active, dissolve it in 40 g warm water (about 2½ tbsp) with 1 tsp sugar. Let it sit for 10 minutes until foamy.

Mix wet ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 egg, 200 g warm water, 8 grams instant yeast and 3 tbsp warm milk.

Add flours and butter:
Add the sugar and 42 grams of all-purpose flour, then gradually mix in 380 to 440 grams of bread flour until a shaggy dough forms.

Add softened butter, salt and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10–15 minutes.

If the dough is too sticky, add bread flour 1 tbsp at a time, or let it rest for 10 minutes before kneading again.

First rise:
Lightly grease a clean bowl and your hands. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in the bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours until doubled in size.

Shape and Second Rise:
Sprinkle flour on your work surface. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces (about 100–120 g each).

Shape each piece into a smooth bun and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Cover and let the buns rise again for 1 to 1.5 hours until puffy.

Bake the Buns:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).

Prepare egg wash:
Whisk 1 egg with 1 tbsp milk. Brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.


Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. These burger buns are soft, pillowy, and perfect for your favorite fillings, from classic beef patties to grilled veggies.
