Hamburger Potato Buns

These are a great bun for almost any use. From smash burgers, crispy chicken sandwich or a pork tenderloin sandwich. Surprisingly large.

6 ginormous Hamburger Potato Buns. Four with everything bagel seasoning and two with sesame seeds.

Makes 6 buns

Ingredients

dough
3 cups (360g) King Arthur® All-Purpose Flour
1/4 cup (46g) King Arthur® Potato Flour
1/4 cup (28g) King Arthur® Baker's Special Dry Milk
2 tablespoons (25g) C&H® Granulated Sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons (3g) Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt
2 teaspoons (5g) SAF Red Instant® Yeast
4 tablespoons (57g) Kerrygold® Unsalted Butter, melted
1 cup water, at 100℉
topping
egg wash (1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)
Culinary Tours® New York Style, Everything Bagel Seasoning
toasted sesame seeds

Directions

Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Combine all of the dough ingredients and mix and knead them in a mixer using a dough hook.

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours, or until it's almost doubled in bulk.

Turn the dough onto a lightly greased surface, gently deflate it, and divide it into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

Place the balls into the greased cups of a hamburger bun pan, flattening gently.

Cover with greased plastic wrap and let rise until the buns have doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Towards the end of the rising time, preheat the oven to 350°F.

Using the egg wash lightly coat the top of the buns. On 3 buns add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning and the other 3 with the toasted sesame seeds.

Bake the buns for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they're light golden brown.

Remove them from the oven.

Transfer the buns to a rack to cool.

Notes

Weights: 1 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt = 3 grams; 2 teaspoons SAF Red Instant® Yeast (kept in freezer) = 6 grams
For baking I use the USA Pan® Mini Round Cake Pan - 6 Cakes. It works well as this recipe makes surprisingly large buns.
Store buns, well-wrapped, at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage.
The Culinary Tours® New York Style, Everything Bagel Seasoning was purchased at Hy-Vee Grocery.
