Looking for Soft and Fluffy Hamburger Buns? I got you covered! These hamburger buns are simple to make and will have your kitchen smelling like fresh baked bread.

This past weekend, the temperature outside was sitting at -36 and the last thing my family and I wanted to do was leave the house to grab hamburger buns. Instead of braving the cold, I decided to find a hamburger bun recipe online and made some at home. Thanks to Alyonas Cooking I found one of the best hamburger bun recipes online. See her original recipe here

As always, be sure to measure EVERYTHING first! This will keep you organized and clean. Once you’ve measured everything, add yeast and sugar to warm water. Allow the yeast to bloom before moving to the next step. Next, add flour to the Kitchen Aid mixer bowl, salt, eggs and oil, as well as the test mixture. Mix everything until fully combined. Lastly, allow the dough to rise before rolling the dough into balls and baking.

The original recipe called for 1/2 cup of shortening, however, I used 1/2 cup of oil instead. Both work great!

What Does Lactose Free Mean?

First and foremost, I try my best to incorporate lactose free ingredients in all my recipes. These ingredients can include, butter, milk, cream cheese etc. With that being said, sometimes it is hard to make an entire recipe using ALL lactose free ingredients. For example, my ice cream recipes include, condensed milk- NOT LACTOSE FREE.

Contrary to what some may believe, lactose – free is not the same as dairy free. Lactose – free still contains milk, however, there is a certain component, I believe a type of sugar (I may be wrong) where the lactose is removed from dairy, making it lactose – free. Dairy free on the other hand, contains ZERO milk. Alternatives for dairy free are almond milk, oat milk, soy milk etc. You can learn more about the differences here.

Which Ingredients Are Lactose Free?

Zero. I did not use any lactose free ingredients for this recipe.

In a medium-sized bowl, add in warm water, yeast and sugar. Give the yeast about ten minutes before moving to the next step. You want the yeast to bloom before adding it to the flour.

While you wait for the dough to rise. Wash any used measuring cups and so on. That you are not overwhelmed with a TON of dishes at the end,

Step Five:

Place parchment paper down onto the cookie sheet.

Dust some flour onto the clean surface before placing the dough down.

Once the dough has doubled in size, punch the dough down and remove from the bowl onto a clean surface.

Step Six:

Creating Hamburger Buns

Create small or medium balls from the dough and place them onto a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

You can either make small balls from the dough or medium-sized balls. I went with medium-sized hamburger buns, they came out pretty big!

Cover the dough again and allow the dough to rise for another thirty minutes.

Step Seven:

Baking The Hamburger Buns

After the twenty minute mark, Preheat your oven to 350F

Place the dough into the oven and bake for ten minutes.

Serve and enjoy!

Storing Hamburger Buns:

You can Freeze unbaked dough in an airtight container or Ziploc bag. If you have leftover buns AFTER baking them, store them in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for up to one week.

These buns stay soft even the next day!

Tips And Variations:

Instead of oil try shortening or butter.
These buns can be served alone or used for any type of sandwich.
Leftovers? Just place them in an airtight container and consume within one week.
No kitchen aid mixer? No problem, knead the dough using your hands until the dough is fully combined.
