Tarynn's Delicious "Hamburger buns"




So this recipe actually is my own! Give it a whirl and I promise you will not be dissatisfied! The term "hamburger buns" is in the quotations simply because I don't actually use this recipe for beef, only chicken and turkey! It is very sweet so bear that in mind its a lot like the "Hawaiian Bread" in sweetness level. I had leftover chicken from the past two nights dinners so I used that to make pulled barbecue chicken sandwiches. My husband had to come back for seconds :-)

Tarynn's hamburger bun recipe  makes 6 - 12 depending on size

Ingredients:

1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp.)
1 cup very warm water (105-110 degrees Fahrenheit or 40.5-43.3 degrees Celsius)
3 Tablespoons Honey
2 Tablespoons Grapeseed oil (Or Organic coconut oil if you have it tried both ways tastes great)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Egg
3-3 1/2 cups Bread Flour
1 egg white (optional)
1 tablespoon water
Sesame seeds (optional
Directions:

1.) Mix yeast and water, let stand for 5 minutes (a.k.a. proofing)
2.) Add Honey, oil, egg, and salt mix well.
3.) Add flour 1/2 cup at a time mixing until combined until you have reached 3 cups
4.) For the last half cup or so take the dough out of the bowl and knead it in, continue needing until dough is well formed and elastic.
5.) Cover and let rise for an hour in a warm place

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit

6.) Punch down and form into balls place on a greased 11" by 13" pan
7.) Cover and let rise a second time for about 30-45 minutes until its doubled in size
8.) Take an egg white and tablespoon water mix well.
9.) Take a pastry brush and CAREFULLY brush the tops with the egg white mixture
10.) Sprinkle sesame seeds liberally.
11.) Bake in 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the whole house smells amazing!

  1. It's actually on my meal plan to make hamburger buns for the first time this Thursday - how funny! I'll be using a recipe from a book I got for Christmas, but I'm definitely going to try your version next time!

    1. Its just a more natural version instead of using cane sugar and vegetable shortening
