Are they the Best Burger Buns?

March 19, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Kind Arthur Flour claims that they have the most Beautiful Burger Buns.  They are told they are the best buns ever, but are they?  After seeing countless e-mails from King Arthur with these buns staring at me, I finally gave in to see if their claims are true.

Best Burger Buns

First off these are not exactly healthy buns, there basic and traditional sandwich/burger buns.  I decided to make these since I have tried every recipe under the sun for regular burger buns and all pretty much failed.  My Husband buys buns weekly for his sandwiches to take to work, and he always tells me my homemade buns are to dense, they are to heavy or are too sweet.  So I thought I would surprise him, with what is claimed to be the best!

The recipe in general is really easy and is great for a beginner bread baker.  I found no issues making these and thought it was a dream on how nicely it all came together, but still are they the best?  Let’s get to work and find out.  First thing I did was mix all the ingredients together in my stand mixer, and after about 3 minutes, the dough was soft and smooth.  I shaped it into a ball, put it in a bowl and let it rise for about 1 1/2 hours until double in size.  Here it is before I punched it down.


Best Burger Buns

Once I punched the dough down, I shaped it into a loaf and cut it into 8 equal pieces which are about 100 grams a roll.

Then I shaped it into round dough balls and carefully pressed it down to flatten.  Again this dough is a dream to work with.  I didn’t even need extra flour to shape it.  It’s very nice dough!

Then I covered with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for about another hour until double in size.  One key-note, is you should spray your plastic wrap with spray, the plastic wrap stuck to the top of the dough, but it peeled off easily.  Here are the rolls after the second rise, you can see where the plastic wrap stuck.

I brushed the butter on top of the dough and baked it in the oven for 15 minutes. The house smelled amazing!! Amazing!!!!  I couldn’t wait to see how they turned out!!

Best Burger Bun

Guess what, they were light, fluffy and had a slight sweetness to it.  Are they the best burger buns?  I have to say YES!!  I have never made such an easy yeast bread recipe, that came out like a bakers dream.  But the real test was my Husband.  I decided to make him and his friend a salami and bacon sandwich, without telling them it was on homemade rolls.  I wanted an honest opinion, so off to the garage I went with the sandwiches to feed two hungry men that were working on the car.

Best Burger Buns

The results were “we liked the sandwiches, thanks for making them, they were really good.”  I asked what about the rolls?  My Husband said they were good.  I said they were homemade.  He said what?  I thought you bought them from the store.  Nope, homemade.  He was shocked!  I did sneak a bite of a roll, because I had to see and yes my friends, this is one recipe I’ll be making weekly!  I highly recommend it, and don’t be afraid of yeast, this is one burger bun recipe that will not disappoint you!

Prep time

Cook time
17 mins
Total time
2 hours 40 mins
 
A simple, light, fluffly, slightly sweet sandwich roll.
Serves: 8 Rolls
Ingredients
  • ¾ to 1 cup lukewarm water
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 3½ cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
  1. Mix and knead all of the dough ingredients — by hand, stand mixer to make a soft, smooth dough.
  2. Cover the dough, and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until it's nearly doubled in bulk.
  3. Gently deflate the dough, and divide it into 8 pieces (about 100 grams each). Shape each piece into a round ball; flatten to about 3" across. Place the buns on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for about an hour, until noticeably puffy.
  4. Brush the buns with about half of the melted butter.
  5. Bake the buns in a preheated 375°F oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden. Remove them from the oven, and brush with the remaining melted butter. This will give the buns a satiny, buttery crust.
  6. Cool the buns on a rack.

Best Burger Buns

Well I have to say King Arthur’s Claims are true!  I guess I have to agree with the 323 people who gave it 5 stars!  Now I need to let them know that I am giving their recipe 5 stars too!!

I wonder if this recipe will work the same with wheat flour?  Hmmmm… Maybe next weekend?

Have a great day everyone!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Is the butter that you add to the dough mixture supposed to be melted or softened? I plan on making these soon. I’m on a homemade bread kick!

      Use room temperature butter. Mine was a little to hard and I really had to mix it in good. If you make them, let me know how it goes. I think you will like them.

        I made these a few weeks ago for a friend who is always bragging about what great burgers he makes, so I thought…make homemade burger buns! They came out so perfect…I also lightly buttered them as they came out of the oven. I did use a bit more flour when I was kneading by hand and had no problems with the plastic wrap. The buns came out golden and smooth! You cannot compare homemade to store bought…these are worth the little bit of effort. I live a few miles away from King Arthur Flour and they are quite an inspiration to me.

    I absolutely love King Arthur flour! And making homemade buns are by far the best way to eat anything between the two pieces of bread! You did such a great job! I’m pinning! (=

    I am going to have to try these. Ever since we have moved to AZ, I have been really unhappy with all of the different buns I have tried. I think it’s time to make my own!

      That’s how I felt about moving to California. I think the east coast has the best bread.

    I really love KAF recipes. They are tested so much and are so easy. Glad you had a good time with the burger buns! I think I’m making rye bread soon!

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash.

I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
