Homemade Sesame Seed Buns
I’m always on the lookout for great recipes. When I find one, I save it to my computer so I can refer back to it at any time. If I end up loving the recipe, I’ll print it to keep in my binder in my kitchen.
This is one of those recipes.
I’ve made these buns several times and I love them! They are so simple to make, and they add a nice touch to an ordinary burger (or barbecue).
Homemade Sesame Seed Buns
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoon (1 packet) yeast
1 cup warm milk
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
3-4 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
Sesame seeds
In the bowl of your stand mixer, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast packet over top and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Add warm milk, vegetable oil, salt and 3 cups of the flour. Mix with dough hook until combined.
Add flour, one large spoonful at a time, until dough begins to pull away from sides of bowl. Knead 5-7 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic. I let my dough hook do this for me.
Place dough in oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise until doubled, about an hour.
Turn dough out onto lightly oiled surface. I spray my counter with a little cooking spray.
Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. A kitchen scale would help with this but I just eyeball it.
Shape each dough piece into a ball and flatten slightly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place buns on baking sheet, with edges barely touching.
Cover with a light towel and allow to rise until almost doubled, about 45 minutes.
Make an egg wash by beating the egg with one tablespoon of water. Very gently brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for approximately 20 minutes, until golden.
Remove buns to wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
**Want to make hot dog buns instead? Simply shape dough pieces into a cylinder approximately 4 1/2 inches long and flatten slightly. Continue on with the recipe. It’s that easy! These are especially good with grilled bratwurst.
