Ingredients
- ½ cup warm water
- 1 package instant yeast 2 ¼ teaspoons
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ½ cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided use, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg room temperature
- 3 to 3 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- sesame seeds optional
- additional butter and/or egg wash for a shiny top
Instructions
- Heat the milk to 181°F (or just until small bubbles form on the sides, do not boil) in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and pour into a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter and salt to the milk and stir until butter is melted. Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes or until it reaches 105-110°F.
- While the mixture is cooling, combine warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a large bowl and set aside for about 5 minutes.
- Add the yeast mixture to the cooled (110°F) milk. Beat the egg and add it in.
- In a stand mixer with a dough hook add 2 cups of flour and mix. Continue adding flour until you have a soft dough. Knead on medium low speed for 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the mixer and place in a large oiled bowl. Cover and let rise for about 90-100 minutes or until doubled.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll into a ball. Shape until about ½ inch thick and 3 inches in diameter. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 60 minutes. While rolls are rising, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and cool slightly. Whisk 1 egg white until foamy and add cooled melted butter. Whisk to combine and brush the rolls with the egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake the hamburger buns for 18-20 minutes or until golden.
- Cool before cutting.
Notes
- Check the date on your yeast if you do not use it often, expired yeast may not rise.
- Heating and cooling the milk is known as scalding, this helps with the rise as it denatures some of the protein.
- If you do not have a thermometer, heat the milk just until bubbles form along the side of the pan (do not boil it). Cool until it is very warm.
- This recipe uses an instant yeast packet which is 2 1/4 teaspoons of instant yeast.
- Proof the yeast by mixing it with sugar and water per the recipe below. It should become nice and foamy.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, mix the flour in with a large spoon. Once mixed, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth.
- Line the pan with parchment for easy clean up.
