These are EPIC.

For a non sourdough recipe, be patient with me. Will post one soon. If you want to venture into sourdough baking, try getting yourself started with a starter. It’s worth it.

King Arthur Flour

Sourdough Burger Buns

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Resting Time 8 hours
Total Time 8 hours 55 minutes
Servings: 6 buns
Course: Bread

Ingredients
  

  • 170 g Ripe sourdough starter
  • 170 g Warm water
  • 295 g Strong bread flour
  • 14 g Powder milk
  • 1.5 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 57 g Softened butter
  • 1 Egg yolk beaten with 1 tsp water
  • Sesame seeds or any topping

Method
 

  1. In a stand mixer combine the starter, butter, water, flour, milk, salt, and sugar
  2. With the paddle attachment, mix for 3 minutes
  3. Replace with hook attachment and mix for 10-15 mins or do the windowpane test (when you stretch the dough, it doesn't break and becomes see thru)
  4. Cover the dough and let it rise in the oven with the light on for around 4 hours. Do a couple of stretches and folds every 2 hours.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, turn the dough and shape into 6 balls (each 120g approx)
  6. Place the balls onto a lightly greased parchment paper and let them rise for another 4hrs, i let them rise for 2hrs and then left them overnight in the fridge
  7. Preheat the oven to 190C, remove the buns from fridge. Brush with the egg yolk mix and add your toppings if any
  8. Bake them for 20-25 mins, until they're golden brown and if you have a thermometer it should read 88C from the middle of the bun
  9. You can store them in a tupperware or freeze them
