These homemade burger buns are soft, fluffy, and perfect for any burger or sandwich. Made with simple ingredients, they are easy to prepare and taste amazing.
Add the warm water, egg, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast into the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Select the dough cycle and let the machine knead and rise the dough.
Check the dough after a few minutes of kneading to ensure it forms a smooth ball.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the dough and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Lightly flour your hands to prevent the dough from sticking.
Divide the dough into 18 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
Use a kitchen scale for even portions if desired.
Flatten each ball slightly and place them on a greased baking sheet.
Leave enough space between the buns for them to expand.
Cover the buns with a clean towel and let them rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Place the tray in a warm, draft-free area for the best rise.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
Mix the beaten egg with water and brush the tops of the buns.
The egg wash gives the buns a shiny, golden finish.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the buns.
Press the seeds gently to ensure they stick.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Rotate the tray halfway through baking for even browning.
Let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving.
Cooling helps set the texture and makes them easier to slice.
