\"HeartyHomemade hamburger buns are easy to make, and taste\u00a0so<\/em> much better than store bought!\u00a0Three types of flour are combined in this recipe to create a\u00a0hearty dough that is substantial and flavorful, with a tender, consistently even crumb.<\/p>\n

The Man’s birthday was today, and he chose hamburgers for his birthday dinner. I was willing to cook just about anything, but…he chose hamburgers! Since I’m trying to sneak whole wheat into our diet, I added enough to give the buns some character without turning them into hockey pucks. He said it was the best hamburger I’d ever made – so we were both happy with the results!\"Hearty<\/p>\n

Of course, these buns aren’t just<\/em> for hamburgers. Personally, I’m all about using them for peanut butter and banana sandwiches! \u00a0They’d be great for Sloppy Joes too, because they’re dense enough to keep from getting soggy.<\/p>\n

This recipe makes sixteen average buns, or twelve large ones. They’re best fresh, so keep out\u00a0the quantity you think you’ll eat in a couple of days and freeze the rest for later.<\/p>\n

You really want this dough to be soft and slightly sticky so the buns aren’t too dry. There are lots of variables with bread: the brand of flour you use, your measuring technique, even the weather. So if it is really<\/em> sticky, add a little more flour. You should be able to poke at the dough without having to wash your finger, but if you lift the dough with unfloured hands, it will definitely stick to them!<\/p>\n
