Burger Buns
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 9 g Castor sugar
- 2 g Salt
- 4 g Instant yeast
- 100 g Full-fat milk
- 10 g Salted butter (soft)
- 5 g White sesame seeds
Instructions
I used a stand mixer for this recipe, but you can follow the same steps and knead with your hands.
- Add all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a stand mixer bowl.
- Now attach a dough attachment and lightly mix the dry ingredients on low speed. Gradually add milk and mix on low speed to get an almost smooth dough.
- Once the dough appears smooth, add the butter and knead for another 5 – 7 minutes. The dough will appear smooth and shiny at this point.
- Flatten a small piece of dough between your fingers for the window pane test until it becomes a thin film in the middle. When 100% gluten is formed, the dough doesn’t break, and you can see your fingers through the dough.
- Now transfer the dough to the counter and form a nice round ball. Transfer this ball to a lightly greased bowl and apply oil to the dough. Cover with cling wrap/ damp cloth and keep it for primary fermentation for around 20 – 25 minutes or until it doubles in size.
- Lightly grease the work surface and then degas the dough. Place it on the greased surface and divide it into two equal portions.
- For shaping, form a ball by tucking dough in the center. Now flip the dough, place it in your palm or on the counter, and start rolling it. Make sure there is no seam; pinch it if there is a seam.
- Place the shaped dough balls on a lined baking tray and let them rest for 20 – 25 minutes. You’ll see that the buns have doubled in size. To check for proofing, gently press the dough ball, and if the dough springs back, it has been proofed completely.
- Spray some water over the buns and sprinkle sesame seeds. It will help the seeds to stick to the buns.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200˚C on the preheat mode for 12 – 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once the burger buns have completely cooled, slice them in half and add toppings of your choice.
