Easy Hamburger Buns

Hi!

Today I wanted to do another easy recipe! My family and I love hamburgers and since we're in quarantine, we didn't want to go to the grocery store just to buy buns, so my mom and I decided to make our own. We've made this recipe a few times and it always comes out perfect. It's really an easy recipe and it doesn't take much time to make them and they taste delicious! Enjoy!

Hamburger Buns

ingredients

• 4 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cup water
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp oil
• 12g (packet) yeast

method

• Mix the flour and salt. Separately dissolve yeast in water and add oil, then let it sit for 5 minutes.
• Integrate everything and form a compact and soft dough.
• Let dough rise for about 1 hour.
• Then divide dough into 8 parts ~ 1 cup each. Form sandwiches and make incisions. 
• Sprinkle some flour over and let double in volume.
• Bake at 200°C (392°F) for 30-40 minutes.

OK, so there are a few things my mom and I changed in this recipe and this is what we did. First of all, the 1 1/2 cup water is too much so just add your water little by little until you get a firm dough. We also used a mixer instead of a spoon to mix this dough. With the salt, maybe just add a pinch of salt instead of 1 1/2 tsp because that may also make your dough too salty. But if you don't want to season your burger patties too much then you may add more than just a pinch of salt in the dough. 

You can also make small buns to eat with lasagne, which is what I did but when you're making these small buns just be careful with the salt. I also dissolved the yeast in a little amount of water and not all of it because then the yeast won't activate as much.

I think that's about it! Thanks for reading this week's post and I hope your burger buns come out as delicious as mine! If you have any questions or just want to share how it turned out, then comment down below! Stay safe!
