Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup warm water (105-110°F)
  • 1 tablespoon instant or active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 6-7 cups all-purpose or whole wheat flour
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon water for egg wash
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds (optional)

Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Kitchen scale (optional)
  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together warm water, yeast, and sugar; let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water, melted butter, sugar, and salt; stir and add the yeast mixture.
  3. Attach the dough hook and start adding flour one cup at a time until a smooth, slightly tacky dough forms.
  4. Grease a large bowl, place the dough inside, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  5. Gently punch down the dough, turn it out onto a floured surface, and divide into 18 equal portions.
  6. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them on parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing space between each.
  7. Cover loosely and let the dough rise again for 30 to 90 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Prepare the egg wash and gently coat each risen bun with it.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

Notes

Feel free to get creative with variations! You can substitute whole wheat flour, add cheese, or use different toppings like poppy seeds. These buns freeze well, so make a big batch, store them, and have fresh buns ready whenever you need them. For an extra soft crust, brush the buns with melted butter immediately after baking. Enjoy your homemade burger experience!
