Hamburger Bun

After a lot of trial and error over the years I have finally landed on a bun I am happy with.  Thought I would finally share here.

15 G Malt Vinegar

- Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds 

- Bake at a 325F for 12 minutes, rotate and lower temp to 300F and cook an additional 10-12 minutes.

viola! I let them cool for a bit and then put them in a plastic bag while still slightly warm to let the residual steam soften the crumb and keep them soft. 

Hope you enjoy!

Hi I made these buns today and found the dough to be very very sticky and soft. Very hard to work with. Is this normal for this recipe. Just waiting for the buns to cool to test run them. Thanks.
