Burger buns

⇐ Bread

This is basically a white sandwich loaf dough, though with slightly higher hydration, and cooked at quite a low temperature. This makes for softer rolls, as is traditional with burgers. Makes 6.

Ingredients

500g strong white bread flour - I use French Type 65

2 tsp salt

20g/10g fresh/dried yeast

2 Tbsp olive oil

320g water

sesame seeds

Method

1. Prepare yeast Dissolve the fresh yeast in the water.
2. Make dough Make a dough with all the ingredients and knead for 8 minutes by hand or machine.
3. Main ferment Allow to rise for 1-2 hours till doubled in size
4. Divide and shape Divide into 6 equal pieces and form into balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper. Moisten tops with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cover and allow to rise for 30 minutes or longer - if they spread out a bit does really matter.
5. Bake While the buns rest, heat the oven to 170℃. Bake for 30 minutes
