Homemade Hamburger Buns + Ultimate burger recipe

When it comes to burgers usually people spend a lot of time on beef patties, sauces, and toppings. But they neglect to forget one of the most important components: the BUN. It represents 1/3 of the burger.

Store-bought hamburger buns are not fresh, tend to get mushy fast, and it doesn’t have a distinctive taste. When you bake your own, it makes a difference. Homemade buns are big, sturdy, and have a delicious fresh-baked taste.

I’ll admit, bread baking takes a few hours until they are ready. But I usually make a huge batch and freeze them. To defrost, just leave them on the counter and then bake or toast for 15 minutes if you prefer them warm. This is what they looked like before going in the oven:

I love topping them with sesame seeds, but poppy seeds, onion flakes, or sea salt, would make them delicious as well. My daughters prefer them plain. So you can customize it to your taste.

The secret is to knead your dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. If you use the hook attachment on your mixer it will take from 7-10 minutes. When kneading, the dough starts as sticky and then becomes easier to handle. That’s a good indication that the gluten has developed and is ready to start the first rise.

As for the burger itself, I made an amazing spicy relish mayo sauce that compliments the beef patty very well. It hits all your major flavors: sweet, sour, salty, and spicy.

The amazing flavor of the sauce comes from Tabasco. Whenever you make a sandwich/burger sauce, it is an essential ingredient.
