Gluten Free Hamburger Buns
Description
Get the Recipe: Gluten Free Hamburger Buns start with gluten free all-purpose flour mixed with sugar, yeast, and sea salt. Warm milk, olive oil, and eggs are whisked together and added gradually to form a sticky, delicate dough that is smoother and less elastic than traditional wheat dough.
The dough is covered and allowed to rise in a warm place for about an hour, though it may not double fully in size. After rising, the dough is divided into six equal portions, shaped into balls, and placed on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brushing the tops with melted butter or oil improves color and moisture, and sesame seeds can be added as a topping.
Baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, the buns come out soft with a lightly golden crust suitable for sandwiches or burgers. These gluten free buns can be stored at room temperature for several days or frozen individually for convenience.
Due to the nature of gluten free dough, the texture is more fragile and the buns may not rise as much as wheat equivalents. Using gluten free flour with xanthan gum helps provide structure. Brushing before baking enhances appearance and taste.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour gluten free 1 to 1
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 packet active dry yeast or 2 ¼ teaspoons
- 1 tsp salt sea salt
- 1 cup milk warm
- ¼ cup olive oil or melted butter
- 2 egg room temperature
- sesame seeds optional for topping
- butter optional for brushing, melted or oil
Instructions
- First, combine the gluten free flour, sugar, yeast, and sea salt in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, olive oil, and eggs.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until a dough forms.
- Continue mixing the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. The dough will be stickier and more delicate than regular wheat dough.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until larger in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it. Divide it into 6 equal portions. Wet your hands with water or oil to make handling the dough easier.
- Shape each portion into a ball. Place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Use wet fingers to smooth the tops of the dough balls.
- Optionally, brush the tops of the dough balls with melted butter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Let the dough balls rise again for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes, until they turn golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Finally, remove the buns from the oven. Let them cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- Use gluten free flour blends that include xanthan gum for best dough structure.
- Expect the dough to be sticky and more fragile than wheat-based dough; this is normal.
- Do not be concerned if the dough does not double in size during rising.
- Brushing dough balls with melted butter or oil before baking yields a golden, moist crust.
- Store buns at room temperature in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze individually for up to one month.
