How To Make Sesame Hamburger Buns / Burger Buns
DOUGH
While making the dough you will notice that this dough is really STICKY. Please do not panic as its meant to be sticky. As you work the dough you will notice that the dough feels less sticky and forms a super soft and slightly smooth ball.
FERMENTING
In this sesame hamburger buns recipe, fermenting the dough at various stages is what yields a good texture. Thus, once mixed we need to ferment the dough. Then, punch it back and referment it. Form small dough balls and further, ferment twice again. These steps help in getting a soft bun with a crisp texture and doing it at every stage is essential. Also, at each stage, while fermenting cover the dough or the dough balls with cling wrap
BAKING THE SESAME HAMBURGER BUNS
Note, the buns do spread while baking, make sure to maintain a distance between every bun to avoid the buns from sticking to each other. The bottom of the bun needs to be light brown once baked. Do not open the oven door for the first 15 mins, since this is when the real baking is happening.
STORING THE BUNS
Note, that they taste best when freshly made and also remain well for 2-3 days. However, if you plan on storing it longer, put it in an airtight container or bag and freeze it. Also, it can be frozen for up to 2-2.5 months. Next, thaw the buns when needed, microwave and serve.

I’ve personally not made an eggless version of this bun but you may try. Just mix 2 tbsps of flaxseed powder with 6 tbsps of water. Set aside for 5 mins and use in the recipe instead of the 2 eggs
