Mini Burger Buns Recipe by Tasty

Ingredients

• 1 cup lukewarm water
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 ½ cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 large egg
• nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
• 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, for finishing

Instructions

1. Add the lukewarm water to a 2-cup liquid measuring cup or medium bowl. Add the yeast and sugar and stir to combine. Let sit for 5–10 minutes, until frothy and doubled in volume.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the butter, egg, and the yeast mixture and stir with a rubber spatula into a shaggy dough.
3. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and knead until smooth and soft, about 4 minutes. Place the dough in a clean large bowl lightly greased with nonstick spray and cover with a towel. Let rest until in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4. Preheat the oven to 400°F ( 200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Lightly grease a clean surface and place the dough on top. Pat down with your hands to about ¼-inch thick. Use a ¾-inch (2-cm) round cutter to cut out small circles. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter, then bake for 7–10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
7. Remove the buns from the oven and brush with more melted butter while they are still warm. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
8. Enjoy!
