I’m absolutely thrilled that I’ve had the chance to try out this burger bun recipe. Not only are these buns incredibly delicious, but they also have a delightful pink color!

I have a genuine fondness for bread, and I’ll admit that the thought of making my own bread seemed a bit intimidating the first time I attempted it. However, after a few tries, I came to realize that it’s not as scary as it might seem.
The initial fear mostly stems from the waiting involved for the bread to rise, but once you get past that, the process itself is quite simple. In fact, making the bread involves very few basic ingredients, and it’s mostly a matter of mixing them together and letting the dough work its magic.
Now, it’s time to prepare for baking this delightful homemade burger bun recipe, one that you’ll find yourself returning to again and again. The best part is, there are always opportunities to experiment and make it even better. For instance, my next attempt will involve using whole wheat flour for a healthier option for my family.
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Cup Bread Flour
- 1/2 Cup and 2T Cup Almond Milk, or preferred milk
- 1/4 Cup Beetroot juice
- 1/3 Cup Water – lukewarm
- 1 TBS Dry yeast
- 2 TBS Oil
- 1 TBS Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions:
- In a small to medium-sized bowl, combine water, and sugar, gently sprinkle the dry yeast, and sprinkle one teaspoon of flour. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
- In a large bowl or your mixing bowl, create a well with the flour and salt. In the center, add milk, beet juice, and oil.
- Knead the dough until it forms a ball, or use a mixer with a hook attachment until the ball forms. If the dough is too sticky to touch, you can wet your fingers with a little water or sprinkle some flour on the dough.
- Once the dough ball is formed, cover it with a towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 1.5 to 2 hours.
- After resting, you’ll notice that the dough has doubled in size. You can knead it a bit more, then divide it into 8 equal parts and shape them into balls.
- Cover the eight buns with a towel for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Brush the buns with your preferred type of milk and, if you like, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
- Bake for about 15-20 minutes, then allow them to cool.
