Erma Kauer’s Hamburger Buns

Today I am sharing a recipe for Homemade Hamburger Buns from my mom's best friend Erma Kaur. She is another AMAZING COOK! I wish I had more recipes from her.
You will find that these soft hamburger buns are so easy to make, and they taste amazing. This recipe does make a lot and works perfectly for big family gatherings.
You will love that you can make these burger buns without a stand mixer. The simple dough comes together easily in a large bowl.
The ideal burger bun is soft, and tender. You can replace some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour to increase the fiber in these homemade hamburger buns.
How do you toast hamburger buns like a restaurant?
Gently toast in a 350°F oven until buns are warmed through and lightly crispy, about 5 minutes. To keep the buns from getting too crunchy or hard after toasting, place them in a nice basket with a towel over them.
These buns freeze beautifully up to 2 months, then remove the buns from the freezer and thaw on the counter.
These hearty homemade sandwich rolls will become a staple for your family!  There is nothing like homemade bread coming from the oven!
