Hamburger buns recipe with step by step photos. Today on request I am sharing an easy egg less recipe for making burger buns.
Burger is a very popular fast food, Mcdonald’s burger is the most popular one as far I know, the burgers served there are very famous and I have heard many go aah and wooh about it. I personally have not eaten burger from there even once(I have not eaten anything from there in first place) but my husband had eaten their veggie burger few times. He keeps asking me to make burger and doughnuts at home, I kept postponing thinking it to be a lot of work or complicated but when my readers asked for hamburger buns recipe and veggie burger recipe, I quickly started searching for them. I found a pretty straight forward and easy recipe for hamburger buns here and wanted to make it. I then called up a friend who is a pro in baking, she vouched for this recipe and she told she has tried it many times and she also gave me the recipe for making Mcdonald style veggie burger. I shall post the veggie burger recipe next, today I am sharing the eggless burger buns recipe here.
To make hamburger buns recipe, I have used all purpose flour, though you can make the same with whole wheat flour, I made it with maida just to see how it turns out in my first attempt. The source recipe calls for an egg and I have replaced it with curd as I do in most of my baking recipes. I love to bake buns and breads at home and I have practically given up purchasing pav buns or cookies from bakeries. I visit our local bakery only for regular supply of bread and I hope to bake bread too at home soon.

Great recipe. Just what I was looking for. I omitted the curd and it left the dough dryer but a bit of water fixed that and they turned out great!
