Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup water not too cold or hot, more like your body temperature, lukewarm
  • 2 teaspoons yeast instant, dry
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter cut into 1/4 inch cubes, cold
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour ( 1/4 cup more or less depending on the type of flour and the level of humidity/dryness in your area)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

For the topping

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 Tablespoons poppy seeds

For the egg wash

  • 1 egg beaten well
  • 1 teaspoon water or milk or cream

Notes

  • The key to these fabulous soft burger buns is to use a minimal amount of butter that’s cold and rubbed into the flour (and salt). Then the water, yeast and sugar mixture (with 1 egg) is added into this flour mixture.
  • The dough is kneaded in a machine or by hand for just a few minutes. Another key here is to keep the dough a little sticky. It should not stick to the surface or your hands, but when you dig your finger inside, it should stick.
