HAMBURGER BUNS

The idea of homemade hamburger buns came through when we were going through a shortage of groceries in the market during the pandemic. All aisles in the bakery department were empty ….well, it’s not the end of the World.

Let’s give it a try…..

Hamburger buns are also remarkably simple to make at home. There is no enigma or science to make them.

These homemade burger buns are soft and a little chewy with just a touch of sweetness.

Proofing the Buns

The dough is divided into equal portions and is covered for proofing.

Ready to be baked
