You guys……if you know me, you know that there is ONE thing about me that is unwavering. I LOVE CHEESEBURGERS. Any damn way I can get them. Cheap cheeseburgers? Let’s get it on. Bougie cheeseburgers? Pinky out, bitches. Lettuce wrapped or on a bun? I will take one of each! But these burger buns have taken my burger night to a WHOOOOOOOLE new level. Soft and light, with just enough structure that they hold together really really well….and so easy you can get your cheeseburger on like a BOSS any time you get a hankering! !
Ingredients:
1 TBSP active dry yeast
1 c. warm water
3 TBSP Avocado Oil
3 TBSP sugar
2 large eggs, 1 beaten with TBSP water for egg wash
2 tsp sea salt
3 c. bread (or AP will work) flour
How To:
Step 1—Preheat your oven to 425. In a medium mixing bowl (or your stand mixer), whisk yeast, sugar, and oil into warm water. Let it stand for about 5-10 minutes, or until your yeast is beginning to foam up.
Step 2—Whisk in 1 egg and salt. Begin stirring in your flour, until a soft dough forms. You may add additional TBSP of flour if dough is too sticky.
Step 3— Turn out dough on lightly floured surface, and begin to knead for 5-7 minutes, or until your dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 4—Divide into 8-10 equal pieces, and form into a smooth ball. Allow to prove an additional 15 minutes or so on a lightly greased baking sheet until rolls have doubled in size. (Give it a little squish on your baking sheet to flatten it out some….you’re looking for a flattish ball/rotund disc.)
Step 5—Once ready to go into your oven, brush each bun with the egg wash mixture and add any toppings you like. Sesame seeds, sea salt, poppyseeds, etc. Bake in preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and scrumptious looking!
