These 40-Minute Hamburger Buns are soft, fluffy, and golden brown—perfect for everything from burgers to breakfast sandwiches. Made with simple pantry staples, they’re ready in less than an hour and taste far better than anything store-bought.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1/2 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg (plus 1 for egg wash)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water with sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Stir in warm milk, oil, one egg, and salt. Gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
  4. Lightly knead the dough for 3–4 minutes. Divide into 12 equal pieces and shape into balls.
  5. Place on the baking sheet and flatten slightly. Cover loosely with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Beat the second egg with a splash of water and brush over the buns. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
  7. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter immediately after baking.
  8. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use warm—not hot—liquids to activate yeast properly.
  • For extra pillowy buns, let dough rise 10 more minutes if time allows.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container or freeze for later use.
