Bread machine hamburger buns are easy to make at home and that too with no eggs. They are perfect to make burgers and sandwiches. Check out how to make light, soft, and delicious hamburger buns at home.
Add the ingredients (water, oil, sugar, salt, bread flour, and yeast) in the order recommended by the bread machine manufacturer and start the "Dough" cycle.
Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the container and knead it on a lightly floured surface for a few seconds to get a soft and smooth dough ball.
Shaping the dough
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts.
Make a smooth ball from each piece and press lightly between your palms and place it on the tray. Place them at least 2-inch apart, if the gap is less, they will rise like dinner rolls.
Final rise
Cover the tray with another tray and keep it in a warm place. Optionally, place it in the oven and turn the oven on the "warm" setting for 5 minutes and then let them rest for 90 minutes for the second rise.
After the balls have risen well, apply some milk with a basting brush, this gives the burgers a nice shine once they are baked. Optionally sprinkle some sesame seeds.
Baking in oven
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 deg F for about 18-20 minutes till they are golden brown.
Place them on a cooling rack until cooled. Store them in air tight container for 2-3 days
Notes
You can also add poppy seeds on the burgers along with sesame seeds.
Once the burger buns are ready, they may seem to be hard however they will soften as they cool down.
Home made bread can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
It is best to weigh the flour using a food scale for best and consistent results.
Dough can also be kneaded in a stand mixer and then proved in the instant pot or oven for about 1 hour before shaping into rolls.
