Making your own bread has more advantages than you think! Obviously, it’s cheaper and healthier but you also have control over your portion sizes! In this video I’m making mini hamburger buns (like for those mini burgers that are so hip right now as appetizers) because I like to eat. In fact my husband always jokes that I have a second stomach…which sadly is sort of true. I have a hard time stopping if the food is delicious. So what I do is make little portions and have two (thus satisfying my need for seconds) with out adding more calories (or at least not as many as a full second portion ;). It also works well if you have a family with adults and small children. You can make larger buns for the adults and more appropriately sized buns for the children. If you want to make larger hamburger buns the principles of shaping that I show you in the video are true, you would just use more dough. You can use any bread recipe you want (however, I’d in a little extra yeast (like 1.5 more) so they are nice and fluffy), but if you missed the bread recipe I talk about in the video click HERE.
Here’s a tip from a fellow reader:
You could just put some water in a clean spray bottle (from the dollar store) that way you won’t deflate your bread with the brush when you put on your seeds.
I like to use egg because it sticks better to the bread and I put the sesame seed before they raise.. and that’s true what you said it’s healthier and cheaper to do it then buy it at the store.
and I never freeze mine so it was good to know that I can freeze them
thanks
great video!!!! I can’t wait for your book!!!

I can’t wait to try them! I’ve been making bread like crazy since I tried your recipe…I’ve tried and failed at many previously so I was SOOO excited when I pulled out a perfect, yummy loaf of bread from the oven! Thank you for the great posts!

Looks yummy! I’ve never made hamburger buns, but I make hot dog buns all the time because the ones I like in the store are over over $3 a package or more. I make my hot dog buns with 2.2 oz. of dough (I never would have thought of weighing them if not for the pizza pocket demo!), roll them out to rectangles about 4 x 6, then roll them up from the long end, and pinch the ends.

These videos are so needed in a time when most young women don’t know how to cook and the economy is so bad. You are doing a great service.
I am learning too and I have been cooking for 48 years.
Thank you,
Eva

Thanks for the recipe and tutorial! I made these buns for dinner on Saturday and we LOVED them. They were so easy and so much better than buns from the store. How much dough would you use for hot dog buns?

Thank you so much for this video. I have been looking everywhere for the mini hamburger buns and your video will be tremendously helpful. I have made bread without difficulty, but really needed tips on how to shape the dough for my mini buns. I’ll post and let you know how they turn out.

I am looking forward to making these, but I thought I would pass along a tip. I have and use a spray bottle that is for kitchen use only. I use it when making bread, making wontons and this would be a quick way to add your seeds to the top of your hamburger buns.
it KILLS me every time I have to buy hamburger buns – especially since I want the healthier wheat ones. This will save so much money, and it looks fun too! Thank you thank you thank you!!! 🙂
