The King Arthur Flour Giveaway is almost at an end (Sunday, Nov. 18, is the last day to enter). And I’m so excited so many of you have chosen to enter to win these beautiful prize packs. Today I’m sharing my recipe for the Fall picnic prize pack, complete with the absolutely awesome Hamburger Bun/Mini Pie Pan from King Arthur Flour, made by USA Pan. You know how I love USA Pan. And, of course, King Arthur flour seems to just make baking so much simpler.
So, today, I’m crafting, for our fall picnic, some beautiful homemade hamburger buns. I’ve tried hamburger buns before, but ahem, it wasn’t my finest hour. They mostly became breadcrumbs as they ended up more pucks than buns. So I’m super excited to try out this recipe from a bread machine cookbook I picked up at a thrift store recently. And to be able to bake them in this beautiful bun pan? That has to make them so much more lovely, right? I can’t wait to get the hot dog bun pan, too.
Ingredients
Instructions
Add ingredients, except optional seeds, to bread machine in order directed by your machine. Set to dough cycle.
Punch down and form into 10-12 balls flatten into bun pan and let rise for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375.
Sprinkle a bit of water or oil on top of rolls and top with seeds, if desired.
Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes.
The Results
Wow. Definitely the most impressive burger buns I’ve ever made. So light and fluffy and absolutely delicious! I love the pan, and, of course, the flour. Fantastic.

I’ve tried for forever it seems to make hamburger buns but always fail…I can’t wait to give this recipe a try
I think I might need the bun pan too! And there’s a hot dog bun pan, too?! Wow! You’ve just made this gal very happy!
I know! I totally want the hot dog bun pan, too!
That pan is terrific! My buns are always “wonky” instead of so perfectly formed. I’ll have to try this recipe soon!
So true! That was exactly my problem and these pans fixed it. I’m not sure why I didn’t think of it before. Store-bought buns have that little pan-impression circle on the bottom. Duh!
What fabulous hamburger buns! I love the pan you used, and the recipe sounds delicious.
