Description

SO CUTE! That is the reaction to these delicious (and adorable) buns. Perfect for one bite burgers. These take a little work up front but the payoff is worth it!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast (4 grams)
  • 1/2 cup warm water (118 grams) (105-110 degrees Fahrenheit)
  • 2 teaspoons honey (14 grams)
  • 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour, (90 grams
  • 3/4 cups Whole Wheat Flour, (94 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (3 grams)
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 Tablespoon butter, melted (more if you want to brush the top before baking)
  • Poppy seeds or sesame seeds (optional for sprinkling on top of buns)


Instructions

MIX THE DOUGH AND FIRST RISE (1 HOUR)

SHAPE THE DOUGH & FINAL RISE (20 MINUTES)

BAKE!

Notes

Substitutions and Additions. Right after brushing the buns with butter (or egg wash - 1 egg + 1 Tablespoon water or milk) sprinkle the buns with sesame seeds or poppy seeds. Do all three; plain, sesame, poppy for a nice variety!  

Flours. You can use only all purpose flour if you like. You can also use different types of flour; rye, 9 grain etc. but we only recommend this if you are comfortable with bread baking and using different flours. Want to learn more about bread baking? We highly recommend Everyday Artisan Bread Course

Equipment. If you invest in nothing else for bread baking, invest in a kitchen scale, any scale works as long as it measures in grams. They're relatively inexpensive and easy to store - and they'll make your baking MUCH more consistent! We like these mini round biscuit cutters. You can make the buns any size you want. No Cutters? Cut the dough into equal size squares instead - then make your burgers to match!

No stand mixer? Not a problem, this recipe is easy to mix by hand! Since this is such a small amount of dough, we actually find it easier to mix by hand. A hand mixer also works for this recipe.
