How to make homemade hamburger bun step by step
We weigh and measure all the ingredients of the recipe and dissolve the 15 g of fresh yeast in the 125 g of water. Next, we put the 500 g of bread flour in a bowl and add the 75 g of butter, the egg, the 25 g of sugar, the 125 g of milk and the yeast dissolved in the water.
Mix and let the dough rest for ten minutes. Next, add the 10 g of salt and continue kneading and folding the dough until the gluten develops and it is smooth and elastic.
Put the dough in a bowl, cover it and let it rise for two hours at room temperature.
After the two-hour block rise, the dough will have doubled in volume, we degas it, plunging our hand into it, and dump it on the work table.
Then, with the help of a scraper, we divide the dough into 12 equal portions. We work and fold each one of them towards the center, as if it were a bundle. Next, we round each portion by rolling the dough on itself between our hands.
We crush them a little with the palm of the hand and place them on a tray.
Brush them with a little vegetable oil and cover them with film so that no crust forms on the surface. We let them rise until they double their size, which in my kitchen took another two hours. These times may vary depending on the conditions of each kitchen.
After an hour and a half of the rising time, we turn on the oven and bring it to a temperature of 200 °C. While we prepare the hamburger buns. Brush them with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Bake the loaves for 20 minutes and remove them to a cooling rack.
Once cold, we already have them ready to make our favorite hamburgers.
How to preserve hamburger bun
As with any bread, these hamburger buns keep wonderfully frozen. Once cold, we store them in airtight bags and put them in the freezer, where they can be kept for up to three months in perfect condition. Unless we have a party, from this batch of 12 loaves, we save the ones that we are not going to use this time and we will have hamburger buns for a couple more dinners.
When we want to use them, we only need to take them out of the freezer a couple of hours in advance so that they thaw at room temperature. We give it a heater or toast it on the griddle when making the hamburgers in the usual way and they will be perfect.
