This soft burger bun recipe will completely change your burger game. These fluffy and pillowy buns sprinkled with sesame and poppy seeds are easy to make and taste a million times better than storebought buns.
In a measuring cup, measure the water and add the sugar and yeast to it. Mix them up and wait for 2-3 minutes until the yeast starts to activate: the mixture will turn cloudy and may foam on the top. After that, add in the egg and mix it well.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm, dry place ( like inside your oven while it is shut off). It may take 1-2 hours depending on how warm your home is that day. You will see it double in size and that’s how it’s ready.
