  • Prep time: 45 minutes
  • Cook time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 buns

Ingredients

    Buns

    • 230ml warm water
    • 60ml warm whole milk
    • 7g instant yeast
    • 25g granulated sugar
    • 7g salt
    • 1 egg
    • 250g plain flour
    • 220g white whole wheat flour
    • 25g unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces

    Egg wash

    • 1 egg
    • 1 tablespoon milk

Steps

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Combine the warm water, warm milk, yeast and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir gently to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Add the salt and egg to the bowl. Use the paddle attachment to combine on low speed.
  • Add both flours and mix on low speed until combined, then mix in the butter pieces.
  • Switch to the dough hook and knead for 8 minutes. The dough will be very soft and slightly sticky.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead a few times with your hands to form it into a ball. Cut the dough into 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Loosely cover the dough balls with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200℃.
  • Combine the egg and 1 tablespoon milk in a small bowl, stirring with a fork. Remove the towel and brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash. Bake hamburger buns in the oven for 13-15 minutes, until tops are golden.
