Make freshly baked hamburger buns in almost the same time it would take you to run to the store, using this quick rising recipe.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Honestly, I’m not the kind of person to go to the trouble of making my own hamburger buns. But it was one of those days where I realized I’d planned burgers for dinner but forgot to get buns.
Which means I needed some Quick and Easy Homemade Hamburger Buns. I’d already been to the grocery store several times that week (I think I’d actually been earlier that day!) and I just didn’t feel like going again.
Made these today and this is now my go-to recipe for hamburger and hot dog buns! My husband couldn’t wait to bite into them and he is very pleased! They turned out very soft. Thanks for the recipe!

I’d seen several recipes floating around for quick homemade hamburger buns, so I figured I’d give it a shot. Well, I was pleasantly surprised!
The whole process took less than an hour, and was almost as quick and easy as making a trip to the store. And the homemade buns were, of course, so much better than any store bought variety.
By far my favorite recipe for hamburger buns. I’ve made them twice and just love them. Great recipe!!

I topped mine with an “everything” topping of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder and dried onion, but they’d be great with no special toppings and all.
These quick and easy homemade buns really made our burgers taste extra special.

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add oil and sugar and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the egg and salt.

- Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 3-5 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces (depending on the size of bun you want) and shape each into a ball.

- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bake buns for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire rack to cool.

I’ve made a tonne of different buns over the years and these are definitely some of my favorite! And so quick to make!
I just had regular flour so I replaced a tbsp per cup of flour with vital wheat gluten. I can’t wait to play more with this recipe!

These worked in a pinch, but I don’t think we will use this recipe again. They came out fluffy, but they were very much underdeveloped. We did an egg wash before baking and topped then with everything bagel seasoning. Yummy, but lacking in texture and depth of flavor.

I was surprised at the amount of yeast this recipe required but it makes sense for the very rapid rise. I thought they were a nice texture and a nice flavor tho I will use only half the sugar next time (a little sweet for me).
I used my stand mixer so this was the easiest thing I’ve made in a long time.
Thanks for sharing.
