These bread machine burger buns are about as easy as you can possibly get. That’s why I have a bread machine. I can’t bake anything from scratch. Believe me, I’ve tried and tried. So without shame, I use my bread machine any chance I get, for anything from pizza dough (absolutely incredible) to these fantastic buns.

The Perfect Buns
These buns have a nice little crunch with a soft interior. They’re a little sweet and moist. Perfect for burgers. Or sliders.
Shown above are my awesome Louisiana burgers, served on homemade buns. These bread machine burger buns are a bit easier to make than my bun dough made using a mixer, but just as great.
