Burger Buns Recipe

Whenever I make these burger buns I always get so many requests for the recipe. The thing is, this recipe is so simple because it’s made in the bread machine! These buns are so nice and soft and give a wonderful buttery taste to anything you serve them with. They make the perfect burger bun, or simply serve warm with some homemade Strawberry Jam for a simple treat.

Burger Buns Recipe

What you need:

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 Tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoon yeast
  • + an additional egg white and 1 tablespoon of water for brushing on top

Add in the order listed into a bread machine. (I have a Breadman Bread Machine) Put on the Dough cycle.

When the dough is done, knead for a few minutes with flour and form into 12 balls.

Place each ball in a greased 9×13 baking dish. Let rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes. (I cover mine with a flour sack towel to keep the heat in) Beat one

Beat one egg white with 1 Tablespoon of water and brush on top. Bake at 375F for 12 – 15 minutes. You can also use this recipe to make hot dog buns.

If you are looking for another burger recipe (with a little more of a crispy outside) try this Burger Buns recipe instead.

**You should be able to make this recipe without a bread machine as well. You will just need to knead it well and then let it rise in a warm place for about an hour. Then knead again and form into balls. Follow the instructions above to finish making the buns.

    1. You would have to mix it, then knead for a good 5 minutes. Then let it rise for about an hour. Then pick up from the “form into balls” step.

  2. These look great! I’ll have to try them. Most rolls have that high fructose corn syrup in them so it will be nice to be able to make our own and not have it. Plus I’m trying to find ways to not depend so much on the grocery stores. Thank you.

  3. So just to clarify when making without bread machine: let dough rise for about an hour, then flatten and let rise again for about 30 minutes? I have never ever made home made bread before. We call “home made” when I buy the frozen loaves and bake! I know I can do so much better than that for my family. Also I think maybe this would be another way to save on the grocery bill…yes?

  4. Love this recipe! I just made two batches, one regular and one gluten free! I was skeptical with the gluten free, as I was experimenting, and other ‘experimental’ gluten free breads have not gone so well:-) But these actually taste and look good! Yay! All I did was substitute the flour for Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Homemade Bread Mix. I made them without a bread machine so not sure if making them in a machine would make a difference but I wouldn’t think so. Anyway, thought I would share in case anyone else wondered about gluten free:-)

    1. Thank you for the gluten free tips. I,ve given up on bread because frankly the GF breads are nasty tasting!

  5. Hi! I am still learning the ins-and-outs of bread making, so I have a somewhat silly question. When making these, do I use active dry yeast or fast acting (quick rise) yeast? Or will they both work the same?
    Thanks!

  6. These are great ! I have been starting to make breads alot more.. Do you always make your own or are there any that you prefer to buy. I have had a hard time making a good sandwich bread that slices good without falling apart.

    1. We like to make everything that we eat for breads. My hubby actually prefers that his sandwiches be on buns so that’s how we solved the thin/falling apart bread loaves here 🙂

  7. Thats Nice i also wanted to say congrads on your book it looks great! Over the past few years ive been trying a little more each year live more simply and i love it. From cloth diapering my babies to growing a large garden & canning our food. We also have become sams members and have been buying meat from a local butcher. We hope to also ad chickens next year! The more that i do here at home the better i feel i love teaching all these things to my children as well.They are homeschooled so i get to spend so much more time with them teaching them life skills! Your site is great im always on here getting recipes!

  8. These look so good! I’ve never made hamburger buns before, because whenever I make homemade rolls, they don’t last very long. These would get eaten by my kids before they’re cool enough to serve with the meat 🙂

    Thanks for linking up to Tasty Tuesdays this week 🙂

  9. I am making this recipe this afternoon. We are having burgers on the grill and this looks better than the ones you get at the grocery store.

  10. These look delicious. I am always looking for ways to save money and make my own. I can’t wait to try these buns!

  11. We love homemade buns… I don’t make them often, but we sure enjoy them. 🙂 Yours look great!

  14. I don’t have a bread machine, but I’ve made burger buns without, so I’m sure this would be fine without. Thanks for sharing your recipe on Merry Monday. Pinned.

  15. Thanks for the great recipe! I’ve made the buns a couples of times now with the variation of stuffing them with cooked and seasoned ground beef/cheese before baking or as pizza roll ups and even cinnamon buns – delicious in every combination! Thank you – makes our morning lunch packing routine much easier!!
