We make our own bread, biscuits, pancakes and all of our other favorite carbs, but we were still buying hamburger buns at the grocery store. So this summer I made the best ever hamburger buns and haven’t looked back since. We use these for cheeseburgers, epic breakfast sandwiches, and the best pulled pork sandwiches you’ll ever have.
I top these with a generous amount of everything bagel seasoning and that savory, salty, crunchiness goes a long way. Move over brioche buns, goodbye pretzel buns, these are going to be your new favorite. If you’re looking for this seasoning I know Trader Joe’s is where we originally found it, but now that we live in the middle of no where we’re a 4 hour drive from Trader Joe’s and it was a pleasant surprise to see this seasoning at Aldi! Aldi is the greatest isn’t it? I wouldn’t survive small town life (and these astronomical grocery store prices) without it.
If you want to make extra they store great in the freezer! I just toss them in a freezer bag and bring them out as needed.
This does use quite a lot of yeast, and that’s what makes the dough work fast. Surprisingly you don’t get any of that yeast flavor that you get from some recipes.

- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water about 110 degrees
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- Topping:
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 TBSP water
- 2 TBSP everything but the bagel seasoning
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a mixer, add sugar, yeast and warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, mixture should be foamy.
- Using a dough hook mix in egg, oil and salt. Slowly mix in the flour. Continue to add flour until you have a soft dough.
- Knead in mixer for 3-5 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic.
- (If you don't have a mixer, you can knead by hand on a lightly floured surface.)
- Divide into 8 equal pieces; shape each into a ball.
- Place the dough balls on a greased or lined baking sheet. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, brush the buns with an egg wash, then sprinkle with a generous amount of bagel seasoning.
- Bake until golden brown, 8-12 minutes.
