Bake soft, fluffy hamburger buns right in your bread machine for an easy start to homemade perfection. Follow these steps to mix, knead, and rise your dough before shaping and baking golden buns perfect for your next burger night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm water (about 105-115°F)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened or melted
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your manufacturer (usually liquids first, then dry ingredients, with yeast last on top).
  2. Select the Dough cycle on your bread machine. This cycle mixes and kneads the dough, then allows it to rise.
  3. When the Dough cycle finishes, remove the dough from the pan. It should be smooth and elastic.
  4. Gently punch down the dough to release the air.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  6. Flatten each ball slightly into a round bun shape, about 3/4 inch thick.
  7. Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a few inches between each bun.
  8. Cover the buns loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let them rise in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes, or until they have nearly doubled in size.
  9. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  10. If desired, brush the tops of the risen buns lightly with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon water). You can sprinkle them with sesame seeds now.
  11. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  12. Transfer the baked buns to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Check your bread machine manual for the correct ingredient layering order.
  • If your kitchen is cool, find a warm spot for the final rise, like inside a turned-off oven with the light on.
  • For extra shiny buns, brush with melted butter immediately after they come out of the oven.
