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.

- 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.

Thank you so much! My store-bought buns had gotten moldy. I tried your recipe and the buns were great! I don’t really care for buns, but my wife was excited about this fast, good recipe.
I used my stand-mixer instead of kneading by hand, with the dough hook, and it worked fine. I didn’t have bread flour and used all purpose flour instead. I don’t know if that was the reason, but I needed to use roughly 2 Tbsp more than the 2 cups for the dough to form a ball, instead of sticking to the sides of the bowl.
My kitchen was warm (about 78°F), so I just let the buns rise on the counter, uncovered. I had a problem with the browning, though – I ran to the oven after about 7 minutes, because I started to smell a strong scent. They had started to turn very brown on the bottom, but the tops were still very pale. My rack was in the middle of the oven. Any suggestion would I could do, maybe use a lower temperature next time?

I would try moving your rack up a level.

Fantastic recipe. I let it rise for 40 mins instead of 20 (the kitchen was cold) and they came out fluffy and amazing!! I had whole wheat bread flour and regular white flour, but followed the recipe as if it were the opposite. Highly recommend.
