Here on our ranch, I cook for three men who love hamburgers. These fluffy yet hearty buns are just right for their big appetites. I also serve the buns plain with a meal. —Jessie McKenney, Twodot, Montana

Tried this recipe today as a test for next weekend's BBQ. I live in China and guess what? no Hot dog buns, at least where I live. I wasn't planning on using this recipe for the Hamburger buns but they turned out so beautiful how could I not? Light and tasteful just by themselves definitely a winner.

Shaped dough for brots, made 6 probably should have made 7. Had one toasted this morning with strawberry/rhubarb jam and it was delicious! After watching a store bought bun take a month to show mold, I have taken to baking my own as often as I can. This super quick recipe fit the bill perfectly!

I dropped the egg and the salt and let the dough rise for about 30 minutes and found that doing this made these look more like pictured. Excellent recipe my family loves them!

I did not read the reviews before making these buns. If I had I would have only made 6 as my only complaint was that they were not big enough for the burgers we made. It made for a very messy burger. Next time I will only make 6.

Easy and quick. I've recently taken to making almost everything we eat from scratch. My husband has had to endure quite a few disasters as I have sought out the perfect recipe to replace a previously purchased item His comment right away was "Wow, these are great!" ,and he proceeded to list off all of the things we could eat on these buns. That's a success in my book!

I like making yeast breads and this recipe caught my eye. It was easy and tasted great. I hate preservative laced store bought breads.

Try this, you'll like it.

I was out of hamburger buns so I decided to look for a recipe to make them. I read this recipe and I had all the ingredients so I figured let's give it a go.

After reading the reviews I decided to let the buns rest for 30 minutes before I baked them. I also make only 6 buns so that they would be bigger.

After 30 minutes of resting the buns had doubled in size. I baked them and they came out perfect. Of course I sampled one and the taste was great.

DH and our girls raved over the taste so this recipe will definitely be a go to recipe for me.

Besides letting them rest for 30 min, I made these exactly the way you say to and cook 12-13 min. They turn out beyond amazing!! So, the second time I experimented I used Asian stock for the water and added sesame seeds..... Wow!! I'll never use another regular bread recipe again!! This is a keeper!

I made this just like the recipe says. No time to rise and they came out great! I just used bread flour instead of AP because i didnt have enough AP.

Following the suggestions of other reviews, I divided the dough into larger portions (6 as we like big burgers), and let it rise for 30 minutes before baking for 13 minutes at 425*. They came out beautifully! Rarely does a recipe look like the picture, but these most certainly do! They smell wonderful, and are soft, fluffy, and gorgeous when cut open.

I'm not a bread-baking expert by any means, they were incredibly easy to make, and are practically perfect. The only thing I changed was to use a couple tbs less sugar. I'm going to try using this dough for cinnamon rolls next!
