Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 cup Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 0.5 cup Warm milk (110°F/43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 whole Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Whisk until blended.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or a dough hook attachment on a stand mixer. Stir until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes by hand (or 5-6 minutes in a stand mixer with a dough hook) until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch the dough down to release the air and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, leaving space between each ball to allow for expansion.

Step 7

Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand to create a bun shape. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the buns rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the tops of the buns with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water) and sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top for flavor and decoration.

Step 9

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy these homemade hamburger buns with your favorite burger patties and toppings!
