I recently found myself staring at the sad selection of hamburger buns at my local grocery store, rolling my eyes like I was watching a *Real Housewives* reunion. All those buns, all so lifeless and seemingly on the verge of expiration. Is that really how we should greet a stack of perfectly grilled hamburger patties?

I’m that person in the supermarket who reaches way in the back, as far as humanly possible, to grab what I *hope* is the freshest bag of burger buns. As if, magically, that bag just out of reach will somehow be far superior to its aged counterpart conveniently placed in front of my exasperated face.

After extending my super-reach, I emerge victorious, clutching my prize: a bag of *slightly* less smashed burger buns.

The struggle is real. I go to great lengths to find the best buns a store has to offer. But those grocery store contortions are over! I’ve become a homemade burger bun enthusiast. And guess what? It’s easy! It’s as simple as mixing, proofing, shaping, and baking. Absolutely no kneading required!

Yes, there are two rounds of proofing, which are essential for that fluffy, doughy texture we all crave. But don’t worry, you can speed up the process with my secret weapon…

The Secret to Perfectly Proofed Burger Buns

A dryer!

That’s right, my old, reliable dryer! Remember the Pepperoni Pizza Pull-Apart Bread? Different recipe, same clever trick for speedy proofing.

As we dive headfirst into burger season, I implore you to skip those store-bought imposters. Say no to crumbly textures and cardboard taste. Instead, give your precious patties the love they deserve with Easy Homemade Burger Buns. “Everything” seasoning? Optional, but highly encouraged!
