Servings 6 burger buns

Ingredients  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling out buns
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup milk, warmed (See Kelly's Note)
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large egg white, mixed with 1 Tablespoon water
  • Sesame seeds, for topping (optional)

Instructions 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder and salt.
  • Add the milk and olive oil, and using a spatula, stir together until combined.
  • Lightly flour your work surface then turn out the dough and knead it for 1 minute until it comes together into a smooth ball. (Do not over-knead the dough.)
  • Place a damp towel over the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lightly flour your work surface then divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it into a 4-inch disk.
  • Transfer the buns onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
  • Brush the tops of the buns with the egg white wash then sprinkle them with sesame seeds (optional).
  • Bake the buns until they are golden brown and no longer doughy, 18 to 22 minutes.
  • Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool before slicing and serving.

Kelly's Note:

  • The milk should just be warm to the touch. You can warm it in the microwave for about 30 seconds or in a small saucepot on the stovetop.
