Servings: 10 buns
Calories: 192kcal
Ingredients
- 500 g Strong White Bread Flour
- 12 g Dried Active Yeast
- 12 g Salt
- 1 tbsp Caster Sugar
- 30 ml Olive
- 320 ml Water, Luke Warm
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
- Add the olive oil and 3/4 of the water.
- Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula, or with the dough attachment on a stand mixer.
- You may need to add a little less water or a little more depending on how your dough feels. Add the water until all of the flour has been collected up into the dough ball. The dough should be sticky at this stage but not too wet.
- Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes, until it forms a shiny skin.
- Form the dough into a ball and seal the bottom.
- Oil or flour the bowl and place the dough ball in it.
- Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with non-stick baking paper and a generous sprinkling of flour.
- Uncover the risen dough and pinch off enough dough to create 80g balls.
- Roll each ball into a smooth sphere, then seal the bottom.
- Roll the balls in flour and place them on the baking sheet, leaving space in between each one.
- Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap or a clean cloth and let the buns rise for an hour more.
- Preheat the oven to 200C (390F).
- Bake the buns for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Serve the buns warm or at room temperature, filled with your favourite burger ingredients.

Recipe Notes
- Rising times can vary - This is due to the ambient temperature of the room, as well as the time of year and the amount of humidity present. It is best to be visual and check the dough by eye, rather than by time.
- You may need more than one tin - Depending on how large a tin you are using. The bread rolls need space in between to bake evenly. Don't overpack the tin.
- Always preheat the oven - It will affect the end result if you put the burger buns into a cold oven.
- Changing the bun sizes - You can scale your burger buns up or down depending on the size you'd like them to be. Just be sure to prepare and bake buns that are roughly the same size as each other so they are ready to bake at the same time and require the same amount of baking time. Be aware that larger buns may need a little longer in the oven to bake all the way through.
