Join the discussionIt does seem like making your own burger buns is an art. I’ve also been striving for the perfect recipe for a while too. I’d love for youto stop by to show off your burger buns at These Chicks Cooked Recipe Spotlight. Have a blessed day 🙂

Those look really great. I am trying them this weekend with a big juicy burger.
How thick do you cut the slices before the final rising?Thanks
Hello there! I cut them about an inch to an inch and a half thick before final rise. I just did a guesstimate to get 12 slices out of the log really! Enjoy1
Thanks for stopping in to show off your burger buns at These Chicks Cook. Hope you can come back by and share another recipe Wednesday. Enjoy your weekend 🙂
Katie
I am so excited to get this recipe. I used to have a recipe for Hamburger Buns and lost it somewhere, I am happy to have your now. Thanks for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and come back soon!
Making this recipe for the second time tonight!! Excellent, thank you 🙂
Our family loved these so much, I’ve featured the recipe link on our site’s “In the Kitchen” page. Thanks!
Just a quick question about the eggs for the hamburger buns. Do I add any eggs to the dough or save both for brushing on top? Wasn’t clear to me and I am new to this whole thing!! Thanks, Lynnette
Both eggs are for the dough you can use another for on top sorry wasn’t clear!
Got it! Thanks!
kelly, I just discovered the whole foods menu and I’m really enjoying since I freezer cook whole foods. I’m excited to try this bun method, been trying buns, but never can get a fluffy rise with whole wheat, gonna try this.
I don’t have a dough hook- can I use my food processor or anything else? Also, I have whole white wheat flour and bread flour, which is ok?Thank you!
Yes you can use the dough part in your food processor if you want. Whole white wheat is fine as well that’s what I use mostly
Or could I use my bread machine?
I would say no this is not a bread machine recipe.
Do you think Ener-G egg replacer would work? My toddler is allergic and I’d love to have hamburger buns again. I have a few egg replacers but I’m never sure which one to use in recipes. Thanks!!!
Yes this is a great post on other substitutes as well http://onceamonthmom.com/going…
It’s me again (changed my blog name!) 😀 I saw in another comment this is not a bread machine recipe. My latest question is would it be okay to use the dough setting for just the dough and then follow your directions for the rest? Thanks so much! I truly love your website and it has helped me immensely on my journey to cooking dairy and egg free for my three year old.
Yes – you should be fine to follow the dough setting for the dough. So glad you have been able to find OAMM helpful to both you and your daughter!
ok- never made bread before- I take it I wasn’t supposed to add the egg to the dough mixture? Woops
No the egg wash is to be brushed on the top to make them shiny and tasty!
Ok now I’m really confused about adding the egg to the mixture or not as the answer to Lynette (below) seems to say to add itLynnette says:

Sorry two eggs go in the batter, one egg is for the egg wash.
I’m planning on making these next week but was wondering if I could substitute honey or coconut palm sugar for the white sugar? Also do you really have to use a 1/4 of a cup. It seems like they would be very sweet. Looking forward to your answer before I try them next week. Thanks and God bless.
Yes I’ve used honey with great success 🙂
Mid-mixing, I realized I only had 1 cup of white flour in my pantry, so I added wheat for the rest … I don’t advise this! They tasted fine but were so dense it ruined the pulled pork sandwich feel! Good thing I made hubby go buy store bought buns and flour afterwards! Will definitely be trying these again, the right way!, they were SOOO easy to make!
Is there a certain order the ingredients should be added to the bowl? It seems strange to add them in the order listed as I have been taught in the past…
You can do them in any order you prefer with this recipe. Enjoy!
Can you freeze the dough
Desiree, I have never frozen the dough for this particular recipe, but I have done it for others and it has worked out fine. You would just need to thaw and allow time for it to rise before baking when you are ready to serve.
