What if I don’t have a stand mixer?
You can still make these delicious buns without a mixer. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, salt and about 2 cups of the flour. Stir in the liquid mixture until well combined. Add in the remaining flour 1/2 cup – 1 cup at a time, kneading it into the dough as you go. Once all the flour has been added in, knead for another 5 minutes or so. The dough should be nice and smooth.

What kind of flour should I use? Can I make them gluten free?
Use all-purpose or bread flour in this recipe for best results. Gluten free flours are all different and cannot generally be substituted. Try a blend like Cup-for-Cup that is designed specifically to replace regular flour.
-
Can I freeze these buns?
Yes, these buns can be frozen for later use. Be sure to completely cool your hamburger buns before freezing them. Freeze in an airtight resealable freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. They will stay good in the freezer for 1 to 3 months. To thaw, simply remove from the freezer and let thaw at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.

Can I use your hamburger bun recipe in the bread machine
You can always use your bread machine as a mixer and for rising, but you’ll need to pull it out to shape and bake.
Out of all recipes I almost gave up making homemade breads til i.found yours I have made bread ,hamburger buns 3 times now and cinnamon rolls twice so far and everything is easy and I love videos so can watch see excalty how to do each step
I tried to make your hamburger buns. Mine did not turn out very well. I don’t know if I flattened them too much or what
If your buns didn’t turn out well, it’s possible they were flattened too much, which could make them too dense. Try shaping them slightly thicker so they have enough structure to rise in the oven. Also, make sure the first rise was long enough—if the dough didn’t double, the yeast may not have been fully activated. Hope that helps for next time!
simple, light and fluffy. My family really enjoyed these
They are always great, but today mine buns really fluffed up so I was excited. The only thing I did different is to pinch off the dough instead of turning the dough out onto the counter and cutting into sections. I then rolled the dough in my hands and flattened. They cooked up perfectly today. Tastes the same great taste, just fluffier buns. We always put the Sesame seeds on them. Thanks for the wonderful recipes.
