If you're planning to make homemade burgers, why not also make the buns to ensure perfection! You'll see that it's much easier to make than you think :-)

Ingredients

• 500 g all-purpose flour
• 20 g fresh baker's yeast (or 2 packets of dry yeast)
• 10 g salt (about 2 tsp)
• 25 g sugar
• 200 ml water
• 80 ml milk
• 1 egg
• 30 g softened butter
• sesame seeds
• poppy seeds

Materials

• Stand mixer or bread machine

Preparation

• In the mixer bowl, put the flour, sugar, and salt, and create a well in the center.
  Add the crumbled yeast, ensuring it doesn't touch the salt, which can "kill" it.
• Add the egg, milk, and water, and knead at medium speed for about 8 minutes.
  Then, add the softened butter and knead until fully incorporated.
  
• Place the dough in a warm spot for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
• Degas the dough by pressing it to release the air, then divide it into pieces weighing 120 grams.
  
• Shape into nice balls and place them on a baking tray. Space them well to prevent sticking as they rise. Let them rise again for 1 hour and a half in a warm spot.
• Once risen, gently brush each bun with milk. Then, sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.
  
• Bake for 15 minutes at 200°C (390°F).
• And there you have it, your burger buns are ready!
  

Observations

The yeast: Be careful not to let it come into contact with sugar or salt, as it can "kill" the yeast.

The seeds: You can add other seeds according to your taste or skip them altogether :-)
