Mini Burger Buns

Instructions

• Add the lukewarm water to a 2-cup liquid measuring cup or medium bowl. Add the yeast and sugar and stir to combine. Let sit for 5–10 minutes, until frothy and doubled in volume.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the butter, egg, and the yeast mixture and stir with a rubber spatula into a shaggy dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and knead until smooth and soft, about 4 minutes. Place the dough in a clean large bowl lightly greased with nonstick spray and cover with a towel. Let rest until in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F ( 200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lightly grease a clean surface and place the dough on top. Pat down with your hands to about ¼-inch thick. Use a ¾-inch (2-cm) round cutter to cut out small circles. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter, then bake for 7–10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
• Remove the buns from the oven and brush with more melted butter while they are still warm. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!
