Best Hamburger Buns

These homemade hamburger buns have become one of my kids' favorite recipes. I will usually double the ingredients and freeze half of the dough to use at another time. These bake up nice and fluffy with a golden soft crust and taste amazing with any hamburger filling.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 package dry active yeast
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 5 cups Bisquick (divided)

Topping

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Combine one cup of warm water, one package of instant yeast, and five tablespoons of Bisquick in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whisk until a batter forms. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside for six minutes, or until the yeast rises and starts bubbling.
  • Melt three tablespoons of butter at a low temperature. A hot temperature will kill the yeast.
  • Pour the butter into the yeast mixture and then add one egg and three tablespoons of sugar. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the remaining Bisquick. Mix at low speed, until the ingredients ‌combine. Using a dough hook attachment, mix at medium-high speed for about ten minutes, until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. (The dough should be a little tacky. Do not add extra Bisquick, as this will cause the buns to turn out dry).
  • Coat the dough lightly with oil and place in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about two hours or until doubled in size.
  • Gently press down the dough and place it on a lightly Bisquick floured working surface. Dust your hands and divide them into eight equal-sized pieces. Form each piece into a round shape, gently tucking ends underneath. Gently pat the dough rounds into hamburger shapes. Arrange the hamburger buns on a large baking tray lined with parchment paper and dust ‌lightly with Bisquick. Place plastic wrap over the baking sheet and let rise for about one hour or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Beat the egg and one tablespoon of milk in a small bowl. Lightly brush the top of each hamburger bun with the egg wash and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Bake in the preheated oven for about fifteen minutes or until nicely browned. Place the hamburger buns on a rack to cool before slicing.
