How to Cook Your Delicious Homemade Burger Buns::
- In a large bowl, whisk together the plain flour, sugar, salt, and dry yeast.
- Pour in the melted butter, warm milk, and the beaten egg. Mix everything until a shaggy dough forms.
- Now, it's time to knead! Knead the dough for a few minutes right in the bowl until it starts to pull away from the sides and forms a soft, elastic ball. If the dough feels a bit sticky, simply lightly flour your palms – resist the urge to add more flour directly to the dough, as this can make your buns tough.
- Lightly flour a clean surface or a large chopping board. Transfer your dough onto it and divide it into 8 equal portions.
- Shape each portion into a smooth, round ball and carefully place them onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, leaving some space between each one.
- Cover the baking tray with a clean kitchen towel and let your buns rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until they've visibly puffed up and doubled in size. This is where the magic happens!
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Once risen, gently brush the beaten egg over the top of each bun. This will give them that beautiful golden shine.
- Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds for that classic burger bun look and a touch of extra flavor.
- Bake in your pre-heated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until your homemade burger buns are wonderfully golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Let them cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and enjoying with your favourite fillings.
