Burger Buns
Makes eighteen. Soft, sturdy, and better than anything in a packet.
Ingredients
- 120ml lukewarm water
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 14g dried yeast
- 810g plain flour, plus extra
- 490ml lukewarm milk
- 2 tbsp sunflower oil
- 2 tsp salt
- Sesame seeds
Method
- Bloom the yeast and sugar in the water, 5 minutes.
- Flour, milk, oil and salt in, mixed until the dough pulls from the bowl sides. More flour if it's wet.
- Knead 5-10 minutes until smooth. It's a loose dough — a bowl scraper helps you fold it over.
- Oiled bowl, turned to coat, damp cloth over, proved until doubled.
- Divide into 18, roll into balls, and flatten each firmly. Left round, they bake into domes rather than buns.
- Prove 30 minutes on lined trays.
- Brushed with oil, sesame seeds on.
- 200°C for 20 minutes.
