Have you ever had dinner all planned out, and just as you begin to cook, you realize that you forgot something? Something really important like a crucial ingredient? Yeah, me too. This happened to me recently when I realized that I had no buns or rolls for the BBQ chicken sandwiches that I was preparing for dinner. It’s a good thing I had this recipe for Easy and Quick Hamburger Buns in my recipe box to save the day. (And if you’re looking for a bread recipe to go with your homemade soup or stew, try my Cheddar Onion Beer Bread recipe.)
These quick hamburger buns are so delicious and easy to make that they almost seem too good to be true. According to my husband, this recipe makes the very best hamburger bun. And yes, they do take a couple of minutes of kneading, but from start to finish, they can be ready in under an hour. Seriously, don’t wait for an impending dinner disaster to make these. The next time you’re in the mood for grilling a hamburger or having a really good sandwich, just go ahead and make these. You won’t be sorry!
(And if you’re not an experienced baker, don’t be intimidated because I’m going to walk you through how to make hamburger buns step-by-step!)
So let’s talk about some of the ingredients:
Active dry yeast – This type of yeast needs to be mixed with warm water and a little bit of sugar, and then allowed to sit for a few minutes before use. If the yeast becomes foamy, then you’ll know the yeast is alive and will make your bread rise (this is also called proofing the yeast.) If you only have instant or rapid-rise yeast, that will work, too, but you need to use a little bit less of it. So substitute 1 ½ tablespoons of instant yeast for 2 tablespoons of active dry yeast. Also, instant yeast does not need to sit and proof before using, so just go ahead and use it right away in the recipe
Canola oil – If you prefer not to use canola oil, you can whatever type of neutral-flavored oil you typically use in your kitchen. I find that sunflower oil is a good neutral oil to use in baking. If you prefer to skip the oil and use butter, you will need to use ¼ cup of melted butter in place of the 3 tablespoons of oil that the recipe calls for (the reason for this is that butter contains not only fat but also water.) If you want to use coconut oil, use 3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil but be aware that it is likely to give the finished buns a hint of coconut flavor.
Salt – Use fine salt like sea salt or table salt. For best results, I don’t recommend using coarse salt in this recipe.
Sugar – You may be tempted to skip the sugar in this recipe, but please don’t. Skipping the sugar will affect the rise of the dough and the flavor of the finished buns. I like to use natural cane sugar, but any granulated sugar will work fine.
Cook’s Tips:
- After removing the buns from the oven, place them on a wire rack and make sure they are fully cooled before slicing.
- Customize your buns by adding herbs or other seasonings. You can also top them with poppy seeds or sesame seeds just before baking.
- If you want a larger bun for your big, juicy burger, divide the dough into 8 pieces instead of 12 before baking.
- This recipe can also be used for dinner rolls or slider buns. Simply divide the dough into 16 pieces before baking.

Quick and Easy Hamburger Buns
- Total Time: 47 minutes
- Yield: 12 buns 1x
Description
These quick hamburger buns are perfect for your favorite burgers or sandwiches. Skip the store-bought options and enjoy fresh, homemade buns straight from your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 3 tablespoons canola oil (or substitute 1/4 cup melted butter)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3 –3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F
- In a mixing bowl, stir yeast, oil, and sugar into warm water, and allow to stand for 5 minutes, or until mixture is foamy. If the yeast mixture doesn’t look foamy after 10 minutes, the yeast is too old and the dough won’t rise. Discard and replace with fresh yeast.
- Whisk in egg and salt.
- Stir in flour, starting with 3 cups, adding a little more if necessary to form a soft dough.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- When dough is elastic and no longer sticky, divide into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a slightly flattened ball.
- Place 3″ apart on greased baking sheets, and allow to rise for 15 minutes, or until the buns have nearly doubled in size.
- Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove buns from pan to wire rack. Brush with melted butter immediately after removing from oven. Allow to cool.
- Prep Time: 35 minutes
- Cook Time: 12 minutes

July 9, 2018 at 9:58 pmHi Melissa … your hamburger buns look scrumptious and I plan to make them. What is the oven temp for baking the buns. Thanks!
Melissa
July 9, 2018 at 10:41 pmSorry about that! I’ve updated the post – thanks for catching it. The temp is 425°F.

October 31, 2024 at 4:04 amWhat’s and how much do you use of sugar and water and flour why is there no milk 2% in with the Bamberger or your dinner rolls or sliders? Some resipe use it some don’t there is no measurements how much

August 5, 2023 at 6:17 amI haven’t made them yet! Planning on making them tomorrow but curious about adding sharp cheddar cheese, dry mince onions and the dry chives. What do you think?
Melissa
August 6, 2023 at 10:42 pmI’m so sorry I didn’t reply to you sooner! I haven’t tried it with onions, cheese, or cheddar cheese, so I can’t say for sure. But it does sound delicious! I hope if you try it, you will come back and let me know how the buns turn out.

June 15, 2023 at 10:56 pmThese are delicious! I have used them for hamburgers, pulled pork sandwiches and even dinner rolls. It’s so easy to make and so good. Can the dough be frozen? My in laws love them but don’t think they can make the dough so I was going to make some for them but not sure if they can be frozen or not.
★★★★★
Melissa
June 18, 2023 at 3:06 amYes you can freeze the dough. I would freeze it after you shape the rolls, but before they rise. Then just thaw at room temp for 30 minute or so before you are ready to bake. Hope that helps!

May 22, 2023 at 6:54 pmWow, these are delicious!! I have been afraid to start trying homemade breads, rolls, etc. Sometimes I can burn water if that says something about my culinary skills!! But cannot express enough how EASY and DELICIOUS these were. If I can make not only make them but turn out and edible, anybody can make these. Highly, highly recommended this recipe. Thank you for helping me feel.more confident in baking!!

May 28, 2019 at 9:08 pmJust made these and they are delicious and look just like the picture. I used to be afraid of yeast but recently started making sourdough breads and yeast breads. Sorry it took me so long to get hooked!
Melissa
May 28, 2019 at 11:45 pmI am so glad you liked them! Bread-making is addicting!
Brandi Ashlock
March 26, 2020 at 1:53 amI just made these. Are they meant to be very small buns? When I made 12, they are more like slider size. They are delicious, but if the recipe ends up the same way next time I think I would make closer to 9 buns. Otherwise, a very easy recipe and the taste is perfect!!! Thanks, Brandi
Melissa
March 26, 2020 at 4:19 pmHi Brandi. They may be a little smaller than store-bought buns. If you want larger buns, definitely just go ahead and make 8 or 9 instead of 12. I’m glad you liked them!
Teah
March 29, 2020 at 12:14 amI made these this evening and they were delicious! I even have leftover for sandwiches tomorrow! So quick and easy, will definitely be making again! Thank you for the recipe

Caroline Pettit
March 29, 2020 at 3:51 pmWhen adding the flour do you still use the whisk? Or switch to the dough hook?
Melissa
March 30, 2020 at 12:33 amIf you’re using a stand mixer, I would switch to a dough hook, and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes or so).
Ac
March 31, 2020 at 12:34 pmHi what flour did you use?
Melissa
March 31, 2020 at 3:39 pmAll-purpose flour or bread flour will work fine.
Cindy
April 3, 2023 at 9:42 pmThese came out perfect! Usually I am pretty good baking and with breads, except buns and rolls for some reason. Can never get the texture I want. Except now. Soft but firm, great crumb and tasty.
I know this recipe had been up awhile but had to let you know how much I loved these and my family. Thank you.

April 1, 2020 at 4:11 pmHi, any chance I can use rapid rise instant yeast instead? If yes, can you recommend how much?
Kate
April 1, 2020 at 7:50 pmWhen using rapid rise, you can use the same measurement, you just don’t have to let it proof (sit with the water/sugar). You can mix the water, sugar, yeast, oil and egg and then add the flour. Hope I didn’t step on the author’s toes here, it wasn’t my intention! I just make a lot of bread products home! 🙂
Melissa
April 1, 2020 at 9:25 pmThank you for the comment and for sharing your knowledge. You’re definitely not stepping on my toes – I love it when readers comment and interact! 🙂
Justine
August 2, 2024 at 4:22 pmI read in the recipe is you were using rapid yeast to cut the amount from 2T to 1.5T. I haven’t made them yet but I do have rapid yeast.
Tammy
April 2, 2020 at 1:38 amMade these and they turned out really good. I put ingredients into bread machine to stir the dough, then kneaded briefly, divided into pieces and shaped into buns. Let rise and baked. Very good!!

February 26, 2024 at 9:47 pmWell..let say I bake but not with yeast. Only used yeast once back in middle school. This recipe was super simple and instructions were on point. I’ll have to let yous know how they taste but so far it was a easy assemble.

April 12, 2020 at 1:15 amI make bread and buns often but these didnt get bigger than like an inch and half lol. Not sure what happened 🙁
Melissa
April 12, 2020 at 6:05 amI’m sorry the recipe didn’t work out for you. I’m really not sure why that happened. Yours is the first comment I’ve had with the recipe not working, so I’m not sure how to help. Maybe try proofing your yeast to make sure it is viable.
krysha
August 21, 2021 at 6:48 amThe same thing just happened to me. They only slightly rose after 15min and then after 12min in the oven, they were still very doughy. Had to cut them open and further bake the halves. Consistency was that of a dense pretzel. Could I mix a cup or two of self rising flour instead? Will try again.
Anjum
April 24, 2020 at 7:20 pmDear Melissa would you please tell which type of flour is best fort buns. Thank.
Melissa
April 24, 2020 at 8:20 pmAll-purpose flour is fine. You can also use bread flour.
Shirley Binkley
April 24, 2020 at 9:01 pmHello! Just got my buns out of the oven. My husband and I split one while still warm, so good. Will be making these again and again. I am recently retired, and I love baking.
Melissa
April 25, 2020 at 6:34 pmCongratulations on your retirement! I love baking, too – it’s such a fun pastime, isn’t it? I’m so glad you liked the recipe. Have a great weekend!

April 25, 2020 at 8:12 pmI just tried to make these and they were a disaster! I am new to using a Kitchenaid mixer so not sure if that was the problem or not. I mixed as directed, kneaded for 5 minutes with the dough hook and the dough was still a sticky mess. Went another 2 minutes, still sticky so tried to knead it by hand and it got even stickier. Any advice as to what I did wrong? Used a little under 3 1/2 c flour and the dough seemed fine to knead but clearly that was not the case.
Melissa
April 25, 2020 at 10:14 pmI am not sure what went wrong. The amount of flour to water ratio can vary due to many factors including humidity and even the brand of flour. It is also possible that you may have added too little flour depending upon how you measured it (scooping it vs. spooning it into the cup – I tend to fluff the flour and then scoop). I typically knead the dough by hand and haven’t tried using my stand mixer in this recipe, so I’m not sure if that could have been a factor. I think that adding just a little more flour and kneading for a few additional minutes should help the dough to come together and not be so sticky. I hope that helps.
Tiffany Sechelski
April 25, 2020 at 9:27 pmDo you cover them for the 15 min!?
Melissa
April 25, 2020 at 10:05 pmYou don’t need to cover them.
Kelli
April 30, 2020 at 9:56 amI’m looking for a recipe that can be used to make hamburger or sausage buns. Have you ever turned these into sausage buns?
Melissa
May 1, 2020 at 6:04 pmI’ve never tried making sausage buns with this recipe, but if you do, please let me know how they turn out!
Stella
June 15, 2024 at 8:14 pmMy husband and my child loved these buns! Thanks! Next time I will double the batch. Question is, how do you store these buns? Are they stored in room temperature or do I freeze them?
★★★★★
Melissa
June 23, 2024 at 6:15 pmHi Stella. You can store them at room temperature for a few days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.

May 9, 2020 at 1:17 amam I able to use half wheat and half white? thanks!
Melissa
May 9, 2020 at 5:16 pmI haven’t tried it, but I don’t think it would be a problem. If you try it, let me know how they turn out. 🙂
Alex
May 10, 2020 at 6:50 pmSo delicious! Definitely a save!! But can I refrigerate the buns before I bake them?
Melissa
May 10, 2020 at 7:00 pmI think you should be fine refrigerating them buns for up to 24 hours. I would shape the dough into buns, cover them tightly and refrigerate immediately. Before baking, allow the dough to warm up and rise on the counter for about 30 minutes or so. Hope that helps!
Kristen
May 13, 2020 at 5:15 pmSo I’ve now made this recipe twice, once with active dry yeast and once with instant yeast. The buns did not double in size, or really increase in size at all, even with giving them more time. What can I do to fix this?
Melissa
May 13, 2020 at 7:49 pmI’m really not sure how to fix this problem. I’ve always had success with this recipe, as have so many others, yet I have had a few people have this same complaint. There are a few things I can think of. One is the temperature (they rise best in a warm temperature). Also, sometimes the yeast itself is old and no longer viable (although you said you’ve tried with 2 different yeasts.) The other thing is too much flour in the dough. If you happen to add into much flour while kneading the dough, and the dough becomes too thick and dry, it can mess with the rising. I’m not sure offhand what else the problem could be, but I hope this is helpful to you.

May 19, 2020 at 1:45 amI haven’t made much bread and assumed all buns would be hard and take a long time. I was wrong. These were so quick and easy not to mention delicious. I made them into 8 buns. We thought they were the best! We toasted on the grill before eating with a burger. I ate one right away. My husband thinks I should make weekly in the summer for burgers. I guess I will. I did use my mixer to knead for about 7 minutes.
Kathleen Q
May 19, 2020 at 9:29 pmJust made these….Turned out great. I think my oven is running a little hot, so I would turn down the temp a little. Made 8 large hamburger buns.
Melissa
May 28, 2020 at 7:53 pmI am so glad they turned out for you!
Amy R
May 22, 2020 at 11:57 pmI had the same scenario! Pulled pork in the crock pot and no buns. Ugh! Found your recipe and they were so easy to make! Best of all, they were delicious – so light and fresh! Thank you. Sorry, no pics….we ate them too quickly.
Melissa
May 28, 2020 at 7:53 pmI am glad that you liked them!

June 24, 2020 at 9:32 pmThese are fantastic. My husband refuses to buy store bought buns anymore! We’ve used them for burgers and homemade sloppy joes. They are wonderfully sturdy without being dense! Thank you!

July 1, 2020 at 6:35 pmLove them. Huge hit in my house. I haven’t bought buns in months. Thinking of using this recipe and shape them into hamburger/sausage buns!
Melissa
July 2, 2020 at 5:00 pmI love the sausage buns idea! If you try it, let me know how they turn out!
Mindy
July 11, 2020 at 2:59 pmYour recipe is perfect! Easy and quick to whip up and they are a perfect size when dividing into 12 pieces, I sprinkled sesame seeds prior to baking and so impressed. Not ever going to buy from the store again! Great instructions and didn’t need to tweak at all.
Melissa
July 14, 2020 at 5:37 pmI am so happy to hear it! And I agree with you – I think dividing the dough into 12 pieces makes perfect size buns.
marlene harkcom
August 10, 2020 at 10:33 pmI don’t even buy hamburger buns anymore! We love this recipe. Sometimes I add a half pack of Lipton onion soup mix, reducing the salt and flour to compensate. I’m eating my latest batch as I write this!!♥️♥️
Melissa
August 11, 2020 at 3:06 pmI love the idea of adding onion soup mix! I will definitely be trying this. Thank you for sharing!
Mckayla
August 17, 2020 at 10:17 pmI had the problem of not doubling in size so I let them rise a bit longer and covered them! I’m guessing that might be some of the comments issue because it’s cooler in their house/humidity! Either way, longer rising worked for me!
Melissa
August 18, 2020 at 5:11 pmThat’s good to know, Mckayla! Hopefully this will help out anyone else who is having rising issues. Thanks for sharing!
Sylvia
October 17, 2020 at 9:02 pmThis is my go-to recipe for hamburger and hot dog buns. Can this recipe be used to make a bread loaf?
Melissa
October 21, 2020 at 4:44 pmI’m not sure if it can be used to make bread, Sylvia. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out!
Brylee
November 28, 2020 at 9:15 pmI was wondering if anyone has made these and then froze them. If so how did they turn out? It’s just my husband and I so we don’t go thru buns as fast most of the time. Thank you!
Melissa
November 30, 2020 at 5:43 pmHi Brylee. To freeze the rolls, I find the best way is to make the dough and then shape the rolls, but don’t allow them to rise. Place the shaped rolls on a cookie sheet and pop them in the freezer. Once they are frozen, remove the rolls to a plastic bag and store in the freezer until you need them. When you are ready to bake, remove the rolls from the bag, place them onto a baking sheet, and allow them to thaw and to rise for a few hours before baking. Hope this helps!
Janice
May 17, 2021 at 7:38 pmI made these and they turned out great. I combined an egg with 1 TBSP of water for an egg wash. I brushed that on and then sprinkled on garlic flakes, onion flakes, poppy seed, sesame seed and coarse salt (“Everything spices”) and it was fantastic. Good, easy recipe!
Melissa
May 21, 2021 at 8:13 pmYour additions sound delicious! I’m glad you like the recipe and I hope you come back and visit again soon.

May 22, 2021 at 12:19 amI just wanted to let you know that these are absolutely wonderful! I am a home baker to two special needs children and my husband is a truck driver. We LOVE burgers but never make it through a whole package of buns…. well, one day I had planned to make burgers and totally forgot the buns ♀️!!! Well, what else could I do? I went to Pinterest and found you with this recipe, I have to tell you, I have gotten so many compliments on my burger buns and it is really thanks to you! I never worry about getting buns at the store anymore in fact I am making my hubby some burgers tomorrow and using this recipe again! Thank you so much! Be blessed- Karyn
Melissa

Karyn
June 5, 2021 at 3:39 pmHaha, I’m back again!!!! I am glad that my words help motivate, I was planning on making a small batch today…. then my husband told me he didn’t know how many people would be coming out…. oh the joys! Lol. Can’t wait to see how this does when I multiply it by 4…. I’ll let you know how they come out! Oh and it can be used as a hotdog bun, just shape it accordingly and treat it the same as the hamburger bun. It was beautiful! I used this for my sausage and peppers 😉
Melissa
June 11, 2021 at 3:13 pmLet me know how the big batch turned out. And thanks for the tip about the hotdog buns – I’ll definitely be trying that!
Karyn
June 20, 2021 at 7:08 pmIt came out great!!! Had to do it by hand though…… there was to much to fit in my kitchen aid… lol thank you so so much, this really is my go to hamburger/Hot Dog bun recipe! Making the kids burgers tonight…. can you guess what I’m about to bake

September 26, 2022 at 6:21 pmAny chance we can get the nutritional breakdown?
Hannah
October 27, 2022 at 7:28 pmEasy recipe and tastes very good. Mine didn’t rise very well, but were still light and airy. I think the counter top may have been too cold (72F)? Or humid (I live in Houston Texas) Also, my husband and I usually make 1/3 pound hamburgers so these buns are a little small. I will try making 8 instead of 12 next time.
Melissa
November 4, 2022 at 6:13 amYes, definitely make 8 for bigger burgers. And sorry you didn’t get a good rise. Occasionally it happens and it’s hard to know why. Sometimes when I have that problem I know it’s time for a new batch of yeast.
Debby
November 20, 2022 at 3:05 amThese are fast and wonderful! I also have made them as smaller dinner rolls with same great texture and softness.
★★★★★
Alexis
November 24, 2022 at 12:33 amThese were great but they were very yeasty. I was wondering how they’d turn out when I read 2 whole tbs of yeast. The dough smelled like beer and so do the buns. I can’t really taste it in the buns but the smell does turn me away from making them again. Yes I did use the correct amount of yeast.
★★★★
Melissa
November 24, 2022 at 2:29 amI’m sorry the buns didn’t work out for you. Unfortunately, you really can’t reduce the amount of yeast if you want them to rise in the allotted amount of time. I have never had it smell like beer, though. Is it possible you used instant yeast instead of active dry yeast? If using instant or rapid-rise yeast, you do need to reduce the amount of yeast in the recipe.
Sonia
December 31, 2022 at 12:27 amVery good recipe. Thank you so much for sharing. Everyone loved them and they were super simple to make. I didn’t have any bread or eggs on hand for burgers. So I found this recipe and made a flax egg in place of the egg. It turned out great. So great that I am making more tonight!! Thanks again for the great recipe.

The Best Soft Dinner Rolls - My Homemade Roots
February 15, 2023 at 7:11 pm[…] I don’t often call my recipes “the best” because there are so many delicious recipes out there for almost anything you can think of. But these dinner rolls are so light and pillowy-soft, I really do think they are one of the best. I make these rolls with a yeast dough enriched with milk, eggs, and butter. The result is a soft, fluffy roll with an unbeatable flavor and texture. And if you like this recipe for homemade dinner rolls, also check out my recipe for Quick and Easy Hamburger Buns. […]

February 26, 2023 at 1:20 pmGoing to try this recipe.. am I reading this correctly that you only need dough to rise in individual balls, or allow to rise as whole dough then as individual balls?
Thanks!
Melissa
March 3, 2023 at 7:47 pmThat’s correct. They only need to rise once, after shaping them into individual balls. (Sorry I didn’t reply sooner! Somehow I missed your comment)

Pauline Constantine
March 11, 2023 at 2:19 amHi. I just tried this and they cane out perfect! This recipe is a keeper! When I made the dough I thought they were going to turn out like sliders so I divided it into 6 pieces. I left them to rise for half an hour and they turned out quite huge… to the delight of my family! I brushed them with milk and baked them for 8 minutes. They browned quite nicely and were soft and delicious! Thanks so much for sharing!

April 1, 2023 at 5:54 pmI made this recipe this morning and it is FABULOUS!!! The only thing I did different was replace 1 cup flour with 1 cup whole wheat and I did use rapid rise yeast. The next time I AM DOUBLING the recipe.

April 28, 2023 at 10:20 pmI use this recipe for literally everything. Garlic knots, hamburger buns, fancy cast iron focaccia bread, breadsticks, garlic naan… any meal that I want bread for but I ran out of time and don’t have an hour to let it rise, I use this recipe. Always comes out fluffy and soft.

June 14, 2023 at 8:54 pmI’m a 49 year old “King of the Culdesac” bbq guy 🙂 I was just curious about how hard it would be to make homemade buns to go with my burgers. I came across this recipe and thought, “what the heck”
This recipe is so easy. My wife and daughter Rena to the store to grab some stuff and I started mixing everything. When they walked back in, 15 mini later, I was finishing kneading the dough (this was also they first time I did that, had to google it lol). They cashed what I was doing and couldn’t believe it when I said finishing homemade hamburger buns!
I’m fifteen minutes, they hadn’t risen much at all, so I put a towel over them and checked in another 15 minutes…the yeast IS RISEN! It took them 9 minutes in the oven.
Everybody loves them! I’m doing it again this weekend. I have never written a review on a recipe before, but had to on this. It takes less than twenty minutes prep (even quicker once it becomes second nature) and then 15-30 minute rise with a short bake time. In other words, in less time than it takes to go grocery shopping, you can go from raw ingredients to homemade hamburger buns and look like a chef!
Thank you so much!

June 18, 2023 at 6:26 pmJust made these and they’re amazing!! Only had the instant yeast so used 2 1/2 pkgs … I made 8 since everyone said they come out small but I’ll make 12 next time and flatten a lot more they are pretty high but gorgeous..this is a keeper! So easy and fast !!

August 19, 2023 at 9:27 pmRunning low on flour so I cut the recipe in half (there are only two of us for dinner tonight) made four large buns. They rose nicely and are in the oven now. The smell is divine. My mouth is watering. So easy!

September 18, 2023 at 7:16 pmToday is national cheeseburger day & I didn’t want to spend hours making buns for my first time….I spent at least two hours.
I started with 3 cups of flour & the dough was to dry.. because I tried to shape them & they fell apart. Adding a tsp of water help get it to that smooth elastic dough. Since I had no luck in trying to shape them. I rolled out a rectangle to what I thought would be 8 pieces. I folded the corners in to round out the dough. I saw that tip somewhere. I think I baked at 350° pretty. I guess my brain went wonky. Anyways they seem like to rocks to me. Maybe all that kneeding. I’m not sure where I went wrong, because other breads I’ve made came out decently enough.
I will say I don’t think 8 buns are big enough for hamburgers. Maybe a jr. Hamburger. So next time I’m doing 4 buns.

Easy Loaded Burger Bowls - My Homemade Roots
September 28, 2023 at 8:00 pm[…] I’ve put these Loaded Burger Bowls on repeat lately in our meal rotation. They’re perfect for when I want an easy and delicious meal that’s not too fussy. This burger bowl recipe takes all the flavors and elements of a cheeseburger and piles them high in a bowl instead of on a bun. Perfectly seasoned ground beef, melty cheese, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and your favorite burger toppings, all in one delicious dish. And honestly, with all of the veggie toppings, this burger bowl feels a bit healthy-ish while remaining super tasty. {And if you prefer your burger on a bun, check out my recipe for Quick and Easy Homemade Burger Buns.} […]

October 15, 2023 at 9:35 pmAwesome recipe. Been making my own bread/buns for my family of 7 around 6m now and haven’t found a bun recipe I really loved yet.
I doubled it and made 10 dinner roll size, 8 bigger and a 9” round pan of cinnamon monkey bread.
These will just be for lunches but if I was making burgers I would probably only make 12-14 with a double batch as I didn’t find they rose/baked to double size and my family likes big burgers/buns. My yeast was definitely fresh for the record.
I might even try this as sandwich bread later this week. Thanks so much for sharing!!

January 25, 2024 at 3:55 pmMy yeast was good and bubbled. The buns did not rise. The buns browned on the bottom but remained raw looking in top. This recipe was a flop.

March 7, 2024 at 6:27 pmI’ve made this recipe multiple times, love how they turn out! They never make close to 12 though, only 6 medium size buns, so I always double because a few usually get gobbled up before the patties and done cooking

March 12, 2024 at 9:30 pmMaking philly cheesesteaks for dinner and frankly too lazy to run to the store for rolls. I was looking for a quick recipe that didn’t need a multi-hour double-rise and came across this one. Added some dehydrated onion and garlic steak seasoning to the dough, portioned them out into 6 baguette shapes, let them rise for 25 minutes (kitchen was on the cool side) and baked on a parchment lined pan for 11 minutes (switching tray halfway through). Came out great and so easy to make! Thanks!

March 29, 2024 at 10:15 pmI was definitely in a pinch tonigh! I had planned to make sloppy joes and totally forgot the buns, so I did a quick pintrest search and found these. Super happy with these buns!!! Wow!!! Yum!!! Super soft and so.good!

August 9, 2024 at 10:02 pmI just made your recipe for the hamburger buns
I cut the recipe in half except for the yeast and
I used butter in my recipe and they came out
PERFECT. I rarely use that word, but I only had
2 out of 6 left to make club sandwiches with.
They taste so buttery and light

August 11, 2024 at 9:13 pmOK, so I STINK at making bread, but I had no buns for dinner and decided I’d give this a shot. I made the recipe as written except for the following: I used Quick-rise yeast (because it was what I had), I didn’t add an egg (because I forgot to), and let them rise for about 25 minutes (it took that long to double in size). However, they were absolutely awesome! The best bread I’ve ever made! I put BBQ pork burgers on them and it was a restaurant-quality meal. I will without a doubt be making these again. Thank you.

Old-Fashioned Sloppy Joes - My Homemade Roots
September 15, 2024 at 6:41 am[…] These Old-Fashioned Sloppy Joes are pure comfort food straight from my childhood, back when my mom would often whip up these quick sandwiches for a delicious quick supper. Back then, we often used a jar of premade sauce to make these sandwiches, but I’ve since started making them from scratch. And while this Sloppy Joes recipe is made from scratch, you only need some staple items and seasonings for it. Just a few basic ingredients and you can have these delicious sandwiches on the table without much effort. {And if you need buns for your sloppy joes, check out my recipe for quick and easy hamburger buns.} […]
