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.

I only made eight buns (I like big buns 🙂 ) but they still came out near perfect, They could have been cooked a few more minutes maybe fifteen if I didn’t keep opening the oven door.. I used sesame seeds on half and re-hydrated onion flakes on the other half.
Oh my goodness this is brilliant recipe my daughter made them and they Came out awesome
Oh my! I’m so glad I found this recipe. I needed buns but didn’t want to make the drive into town just for that. I’ve made many bun recipes before but this one tops them all. Thank you so much. I didn’t have a bun pan so I used foil and made thick foil rings so they would hold their shape. Worked like a charm.
why do you flatten the buns why not bake then in the round shape
It’s how you get the bun shape. Otherwise you end up with a roll shape instead.
The buns just came out of the oven. I decided to let them rise for 40 minutes after shaping. They took 12 minutes on 375. I used dark cookie sheets so reduced the temperature. I measured 2 oz dough for each bun and came out with 18. They are plenty big enough.
I jus finished shaping the buns and realize that there is no rise time after shaping. Is this correct?
Yes, that is correct.
Struggling with a cup measurements..I really don’t know what to use? Can I use tea cup?
In this video for Hamburger buns, you “say and write” 1 cup of warm milk, however, you are using a 2 cup glass measuring cup which is filled to the top which means you used 2 cups. You should have a “proofreader” for all recipes.
It’s a 1 cup measuring cup that is filled to the top. They make liquid measuring cups in different sizes.
I made these once because I was too lazy to go to the store and my some buns. My laziness comes out in weird ways. Once I considered trying to make my own sour cream because I didn't want to go to the store. Then I decided that was probably a bad idea. Anyway, best decision I ever made!
I will try these the next time I make my Sloppy Joes. They look delicious!
