The best slider and burger bun recipe, for soft sturdy buns that can stand up to a juicy burger or pulled pork.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ stick butter
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 2 packages active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 6-7 cups all purpose flour
Instructions
  1. Put the yeast, ½ teaspoon sugar, and ¼ cup warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer and let sit until it starts to foam.
  2. Warm the milk, soften the butter, and add both to the mixer bowl.
  3. Mix on low speed with the paddle until combined and the butter has melted.
  4. Add the eggs and salt, and mix until combined.
  5. Add 4 cups flour and mix until combined into a sticky batter.
  6. Switch to the dough hook
  7. Add 2 cups flour and mix with the dough hook until it pulls away from the bowl and climbs the hook. If dough is too loose, add more flour one tablespoon at a time, up to another full cup.
  8. Knead for another 5 minutes. Dough will be sticky.
  9. Turn dough out into an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and ride until doubled, about 2 hours.
  10. Flour a large board or countertop. Turn out dough and roll out to one inch thick.
  11. Cut buns from dough with a biscuit cutter.
  12. Place cut buns on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Gather up extra dough and roll out again to make more buns.
  13. Cover sheets with plastic wrap and let rise again until they start to puff a little, 30 minutes to up to 2 hours.
  14. Bake at 375F until just goldern, about 14-20 minutes depending on bun size.
