Hamburger buns
Description
Hamburger buns are soft, slightly sweet bread with a golden, lightly crispy crust, often sprinkled with sesame or poppy seeds; the cross-section reveals a fluffy, elastic interior that absorbs sauces and meat juices well. Their flavor is neutral, making them an excellent base for various toppings and seasonings. Nutritionally, buns primarily provide carbohydrates for quickly accessible energy, a certain amount of protein and fat, and enriched versions may contain iron and B vitamins; whole grain varieties offer more fiber and a better glycemic profile. They are suitable for burgers, sliders, breakfast sandwiches, as an accompaniment to grilled dishes, and for creative snacks. It is best to store them in an airtight container in a dry place, briefly at room temperature, freeze for longer storage, and refresh in the oven or toaster before serving.
