Hamburger Buns
May 28th, 2009 by chuck

Yahooo!!!! BBQ season has finally come to Vancouver. We planted flowers set up the new BBQ and placed the patio furniture out. Now it’s time to get down to some serious barbecuing. I’m so excited to show you all my favorite Hamburger Bun recipe. These have to be the most flavorful Hamburger buns in the world. Well, OK I haven’t tasted all the Hamburger buns in the world. But, I know these are at least in the top 5.

The buns are light with a very thin crust on top that I just love in a good hamburger bun. I hate the ones that are so hard you have to rip them with your teeth to get a bite, then all the filling falls out the sides. The interior is soft and the cornmeal on the bottom of the buns adds a slight crunch and extra flavor. I used 3 different size cookie cutters to score the tops of each hamburger buns. I think this really gives them a unique look. Don’t you think they look beautiful? Much nicer than leaving them flat. The poppy seeds and sesame seeds add a wonderful eye catching appeal.


I used Havarti cheese on top of the hamburgers and fried red onions mixed with balsamic vinegar and a little brown sugar then added some sour cream to give the onions a creamy texture. Simply delicious. Then we grilled fresh pineapple for that sweet warm delicious pineapple flavor too. I think it was the perfect summer weekend. With amazingly delicious food.
I really hope you will give these tantalizing hamburger bun recipe a try. It’s truly one of the best.

Stellar recipe n great idea to use cookie cutters they sure look the best…I actually thought u swirled the dough…u are creative.
how hve u been long time no see
Mouthwatering!
You’re a genius. I thought you swirled each bun by hand too. : )
How do you think they’d work out if you subbed some whole wheat flour in there?
WOW! Looks like a great bun. I bet it puts store bought to shame. Will definitely be trying these. Thanks for sharing!
Those do look like the most flavorful buns in the world. Very pretty with the indentations on top, and the seeds look great too!
Gosh, they look so fabulous! I still haven’t try to make my own yet. Seeing yours it encourages me to make it.
Is it me….or is the yeast ingredient left out of the recipe? Bread looks awesome! I want to try this but recipe doesn’t say what quantity of yeast to use. Also, is it absolutely necessary to use the instant mashed potato? I don’t have any on hand right now. Can I leave it out or substitute with anything else…like grated parmesan?
Those are the most beautiful hamburger buns I’ve ever seen!
Jeanette, you are correct! This is the second time I forgot to put the yeast in the recipe.
So sorry, You will need 2 1/4 teaspoons of instant yeast. I will have Angela put that in the recipe later today. She’s at work right now.
Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for a recipe for buns. They look amazing!
And, also, can I live with you? Please?
Burgers it is for dinner! Those look fantastic
Those are some sweet looking buns! Perfect grill time treat.
I could kill for that burger:)…can’t stop drooling. Lovely pictures.
Oh lordy… the buns can make or break the sandwich… these look AMAZING! I want a burger now
I gotta try these!
Simply mouthwatering from start to finish. Love the buns and look forward to trying some out myself soon.
The perfect, most beautiful bun to go with the perfect burger!
My biggest pet peeve is eating a wonderfully homemade burger on a store bought bun. These look so good! I’ll have to make these next time we have burgers.
Mouthwatering. I might make that picture of the burger my desktop background!
Delicious.
What an absolutely wonderful bread roll!
Kudos!!

Hmm, the buns look delicious. I think I have to bake homemade burger buns in near future
I just love them!!!
I’ve never tried making hamburger buns…
We have a hamburger day at home once a week (I live in Spain), however, I’m copying this recipe ’cause I have to make them.
Thank you!!!

I made these in a smaller size for a shower I am giving. They turned out beautiful. My husband says he would like them in full size the next time we have burgers. This dough handles beautifully. Very easy to make and so delicious. Thanks for sharing. I would not have attempted them if not for your wonderful phptos. Steph
These Buns looks very lovely
I’ll try them after my examinations “Promise” …we will have a big BBQ calibration
I can’t wait yaaaay
I will tell my friends to visit the web site there is sooo many delicious recipes they are going to spread all over Saudi ^_^
(( I’m from Saudi Arabia))
Thank You
I’ve never actually heard a burger invite me for supper until now. The photos are calling, loud and clear. I’ll be trying these soon… thanks for sharing, and thank your sister for her talents… because of her amazing photography, I’m gaining weight!
I made them and they turned out great. I’ll be making these on a regular basis. Next time I’ll do the cookie cutter thing _ I was too nervous to attempt it. They looked beautiful anyway
These buns are FABULOUS!
Bran is listed in the directions. How much?
Opps. Nevermind I found the bran amount.
Hi
We don’t have instant mashed potatoes. What can I use for replacement? Thanks!
Can I put them in my bread machine or do I have to do it by hand? I just have 3 young children and if I can put it in my machine it is much easier, and a little less time consuming
thanks for the help! they look FABULOUS! can’t wait to try them!
I wish I were friends with you and invited to these delicious BBQs! Anyone who knows you is insanely lucky.
Aww, I really would like to try it. They really do look delicious. But I have no instant mash potatoes and no cottage cheese in my country! Is there no hope for me? How about white no fat cheese for cottage cheese and mashed potato for instant? Please,please show me a way. I really want to make this.
