🍔 The true origin story of the hamburger bun itself is debated—the only thing generally agreed upon is that it was created in America. The concept of a minced beef patty, can be traced back to the city of Hamburg, Germany. 🇩🇪 In the 19th century, the "Hamburg steak," a seasoned, minced beef patty, became popular in German cuisine. In turn, German immigrants brought this culinary tradition to the United States.
Some say the creator is Oscar Weber Bilby from Tulsa, Oklahoma—he served his first hamburgers on yeasted buns his wife baked on July 4, 1891. Others say that Walter Anderson, the co-founder of White Castle burgers, created it in 1916. Fast forward to the 21st century, and we have fast food chains like McDonald's that have helped this dish gain popularity around the world.
Whenever or family decides to grill, I often make homemade buns in tandem because they’re really fresh, require few ingredients, and are super quick to make.
For a great burger bun presentation when hosting guests, the key is to add a generous amount of egg wash and sesame seeds to the tops of the buns right before putting them in the oven.

👩🏻🍳 Baking Tip: Measure your flour with a scale to avoid inaccurate measurements and ensure consistent baking results. Flour settles in bags or containers, and its volume can vary greatly depending on how it's scooped.
