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.

- Divide the dough into 8-10 equal pieces (depending on the size of bun you want) and shape each into a ball.

I have made this recipe several times now. I cannot believe how quick and easy it is. Once, when I was out of sugar I used honey instead and that was delicious and produced a perfect product as well. My family totally loves these. Especially now with COVID, I am cooking at home more and this recipe is great. Thank you.

I want to try to make these buns. Did you use Rapid Rise or Regular yeast? Thank you for the recipe. The buns look wonderful!

If you use rapid rise, just skip the proofing in the beginning. You can mix the rapid rise yeast directly with the four, but I would keep a bit of the flour separate, without yeast, in case you don’t need to use all of it.

I used regular. But I think you could use either.

I will make them in a few weeks as I made some yesterday from another recipe. They were really good.but with try with some whole weat-flour instead of all bread flour.
