If you have ever tried to cook a burger at home, you probably know that buns from the supermarket are not tasty at all. They are very bloated and rubbery. They are made of a quantity of baking powder. Usually, there is no oil in the pastry at all.

Moreover, I also replaced some white flour with whole-wheat flour to increase the intake of healthy carbohydrates that we consume.

If you want a truly delicious homemade burger, I highly recommend spending some extra time making your own burger buns. You will get in love with the results.

Home baking is always more tasty and fresh.

I want to share with you the most delicious recipe for burger buns I have ever tried!

These rolls have become truly my favorites!

Best Recipes to Try in The Air Fryer:

  • BBQ Chicken Breast
  • Fried Eggs in Air Fryer
  • Air Fryer Yogurt Cake
  • Stuffed Mushrooms

I cooked them many times (both for burgers and many sandwiches) and they are always perfect.

Moreover, it is very convenient to take these buns for a picnic! Your children will be happy.

My favorite part of this recipe is the fantastic smell throughout the house of freshly baked bread. Let’s get started!

Baked burger buns at home

When I removed these goodies from the oven, I admit that I couldn’t resist the temptation to try one.

Quick note: I prefer to make the burger buns not too sweet. So, I used less sugar in the dough than usual, but if you want to make the burger buns a little sweeter, you can increase the amount of sugar.

For those who wonder how I make these burgers at home, I published our recipe on the blog.

Needed Ingredients:

  • 1 ¾ cups (200 g.) of whole wheat flour
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g.) of all-purpose Flour 
  • 0.25 oz (7 g.) of dry yeast
  • 1 ⅓ Cups (320 ml.) of water
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Step-by-step Instructions:

First of all, you should bring all the ingredients at the same room temperature. Get ready all the ingredients: all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, dry yeast, sugar, salt, warm water (100.4°F / 38°C), and the Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Quick Note: For the yeast, please read the instruction on the yeast package, because every manufacturer, recommends a different quantity of yeast for one pound of flour.

All dry ingredients for burger buns

After we have ready all the ingredients, let’s get to the process. Take a bowl, and put all the dry ingredients into it.

Add the warm water. Mix all the ingredients for 15 minutes.

Mixing the dough for burger buns

After that, add 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Mix the dough again until the olive oil is absorbed in totality by the dough.

On the table where you plan to work, pour a little bit of olive oil to avoid gluing the dough to the table. Now, take the dough from the bowl, and move it to the table that you just oiled. Form one big ball of dough.

After that, divide the dough into two parts, and after that, each half divide into 3 parts. So you need to have 6 parts in total if you want regular burger buns.

6 pieces of dough for burger buns

If you’re going to make smaller buns, divide the dough into 8 pieces. Keep in mind that all the buns should be of the same size. Otherwise, you risk not baking them uniformly.

Quick Tip: Use a scale that will help you to make all the parts equal.

Take a baking pan, cover it with a sheet of baking paper, and arrange the dough balls on the pan.

Cover the future burger buns with a damp towel to avoid them to dry. Let the dough grow in a warm place and without a stream of air. Wait until the dough will double in volume. (Approximately 45 minutes.)

Answering Your Questions:

What seeds to sprinkle above the whole wheat hamburger buns?

Besides sesame seeds, of course, you can use any other seeds to sprinkle. I often sprinkle the burger buns with black cumin seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or just a little salt.

Can I freeze them?

It all depends on the period that you want to keep them fresh. If you’re going to use them in one week, then insert all of them into a plastic package and keep them in the fridge. If you want to save them for longer (one-three months), firstly, you will need to cover each burger bun individually with a sheet of baking paper. After that, you can put all of them into a plastic bag, and keep them in the freezer. Before using them, you will need to warm them in the microwave oven for 30 seconds if you kept them in the fridge. If you have frozen them, warm them for 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Quick Tip: When you will warm them in a microwave oven, put near them a glass of water to not to dry the buns.
