Sourdough Burger Buns

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 240g Warm Milk
  • 57g Melted Butter
  • 200g Active Starter
  • 24g sugar
  • 1 Egg + 1 Egg Yolk
  • 500g cups Flour (500g)
  • 11g Salt
  • Egg Wash (use the egg white from before)

Instructions

  1. Mix active starter, egg, egg yolk, and sugar in a medium bowl until well combined. Gradually add the melted butter and warm milk mixing thoroughly. Add in flour and salt and mix until the dough looks thick and sticky. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. After 30 minutes, knead the dough until it is smooth and shiny. It will become tacky, not sticky to the touch, and will pass the windowpane test. (10-15 minutes)
  3. Lightly grease the dough with butter or oil. Cover and let rest for 8-10 hours, or until the dough has at least doubled in size.
  4. Once the dough has at least doubled, punch the top of the dough to remove the air bubbles. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface or pastry mat. Cut the dough into 10 equal pieces (roughly 106g each).
  5. Pull the corners of the dough towards the center and roll each piece into a round tight ball shape. Place the buns onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover the buns with a damp towel and let rest for 1-2 hours, until they have grown and look puffy.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F. Create an egg wash using the egg white from the yolk used before. Brush each bun with the egg wash and top with sesame seeds if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let buns cool to room temperature before slicing.
