I just made these rolls , they are the best, I’m 87 and I love home made bread and rolls , these are definitely my favorite . Thank you for the recipe.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Glad you like them!

[@sorryNOTsorry0911]

I made these a week ago and then went to a recent video to let him know they were so easy to make and by far the best buns ever..making them right now but thought if anyone was looking up buns they would be on this video so I came here to let people know if you want the beast hamburger buns ever make these !! I get 8 huge ones per recipe ...we are addicted ...

[@kimcraft]

You can trust this recipe. I made them twice and everyone loved them❤😊

[@cet6237]

Hi Kevin, I made these today... right along with your video. Turned out awesome. My wife said they "look" like store bought but TASTED much, much better!

[@rebecaflorit7095]

Today is July 5th 2024! I just wanna say I cracked up when you explained about your kitty scratch! You don’t have to explain anything, it’s in your house for yourself and your family! And everything in your kitchen looks super clean and beautiful! You’re such a nice person! Thank you for sharing! Love these I’m making them now. 😊

[@carolavant3778]

Those look so good, Kevin! All through the first months of Covid I made our bread, and still make most of it now. One of the best things about your beautiful hamburger buns is the fact that you know that everything in them is wholesome. I'm also a home cheesemaker and save the whey for making bread and use it instead of the water - Whey increases the protein and the bread takes on a wonderful, savory flavor.

[@Nomam3-s]

Thank you Carol for the tip of using the whey from the cheese I am my self a cheese maker since I was 19yrs old i will definitely follow your awesome tip.

[@katesinclair2645]

I went to the grocery store today and, of course, thought about what to have for dinner. I decided on burgers and, thanks to you, I didn't have to buy rolls. These rolls are amazing. Better than restaurant. Thank you. I'll be making a loaf of white bread in a little while to have with my turkey sandwich at lunch tomorrow. 😀

[@Phyllyps-Levine]

My dear gracious Kevin! Just made these for my July 2, 2022 Fireworks dinner tomorrow. They are the plushest hamburger bun recipe EVER! I am grateful for your channel. I wish you the Happiest & Safest 4th!

[@sim-one]

About to make another batch! No supermarket ones ever again. They stay like freshly made in the freezer. Making more and more of you recipes and they’re always great. Thank you Kevin 🌷

[@sim-one]

Made the black bean burger to go with it. YUM! Next time I’ll add some natural liquid smoke. They already tasted to great. And the texture really has the bite of a normal hamburger. This is a keeper.

[@annesoper911]

I will make these today. I make lots of bread, here's a hint or two, I proof my bread in my oven with light on. I mix the sesame seeds in the egg wash, also when my bread is ready to bake I just turn on my oven, I don't preheat, it works great.

[@Phyllyps-Levine]

KLJ, I just made these buns exactly like you did and they are the most magnificent ethereal clouds of yeasty goodness I have ever put to my lips. I added 1 extra tablespoon of sugar and I am glad I did. Not sweet just good. Cost about $.18 to make all 8 large rolls. I buy all my ingredients in huge quantities from a restaurant supply store that sells to the public. So my cost is not an exaggeration. Usually I pay $3.00 for good quality buns for a pack of 8. Thank you so very much!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

So glad you enjoyed the rolls!

[@TikTok-dk4vc]

Thank you so much for the receipe

[@LISA61367]

This was the first time I ever made homemade buns. They turned out perfect! This a wonderful recipe. Thanks so much for posting 😀

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Thank you, Lisa. I'm so glad this recipe was a success for you!

[@reallybadaim118]

I got my nose pressed up against my phone screen and can almost smell them. Looks fantastic!!

[@diannawilliams761]

I made them and just ate my first, so delicious. Can't thankyou enough. Off grid in Oklahoma

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

I'm so glad!

[@lisaray9404]

Oh, MY' LANTA!! These look awesome!!! 🤩As I am going through all of your videos, I was so happy this one was put into my queue to watch. They are far, far, far superior to store bought buns. Thank you so much for this video and recipe AND for making everything so easy to follow. AMAZING!! Take care and be safe! 😄💖🙏

[@lifeby2044]

I am watching your video in March 2024 and I just want to say thank you

[@amyr3285]

Thanks you! I woke up and saw on my phone, how Wendy's has made a better breakfast menu. So instead of spending money on fast food, I decided I can make my own breakfast sandwich. Mind you I normally dont eat until about 1:00 or 2:00, so this was perfect to make in the morning for my lunch. My bread is almost doubled in size now. Yes, we have all become better cooks for the most part. I like baking and cooking in general. And a year and a half after we have been quarantined and now with the Delta variant present in large numbers, I am still at home and feel safer here than in restaurants.

[@brucefeks]

I love watching your videos, especially when you go through the entire dinners with table setting. Keep up the great work.

[@daniellecrevier970]

Hi from Canada. Just subscribed to you channel. Home cooks are the recipes I trust the most.

[@joancollier4488]

Wow Kevin those buns look fantastic when you get them out of the oven. What a great recipe and this was a couple of years ago now, you are a great teacher and its always good to watch you cooking! I am working my way through your repertoire!

[@shaunaoleary4638]

Hi,Kevin. Thank you very much for this recipe. I made some sandwich bread that turned out pretty well,and I thought, "I need a hamburger bun recipe." So I sure appreciate it because I always trust your recipes. You take care

[@deebrake]

Thank you now that I am retired I am able to go through more of your videos and I am excited to try these. Much appreciated.

[@melinatrotman]

Good morning..tried the buns yesterday they were delicious my buns recipe from now on. But instead of egg wash I used melted butter once out of the oven. Thank you

[@newlibertarian139]

Was searching for bun recipes and landed here. And I ran. I ran so far away. I just ran, I ran all night and day. I couldn't get away. Thanks for the smile. Peace.

[@mariacontreras7276]

[@irismorio110]

They look beautiful! I am going to make them. Looking forward to more of you recipes.

[@vlunceford]

I’ll be making these buns for sure - they look amazing! FWIW, the instructions with my KitchenAid said not to go anything higher than the #2 setting for kneading. Thanks for the recipe!

[@kirstenmoelker6904]

I've made these almost a dozen times now. Easy to follow and gives you fluffy, bakery like buns. Thank you for this recipe!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

You're welcome!

[@anulalli]

I tried these and these came out real good. I sprinkled black white sesame seeds and also a few with poppy seeds.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Your recipe is perfect. First time my buns weren't dense. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Glad you enjoyed them!

[@lindamay9218]

I want to try these, it only you 15 minutes to get them on the baking sheet. You asked how I am handling this pandemic, I have obeyed all the recommended procedures for the last six months. Then I decided to accept an invitation to an outdoor bar-b-que attended by 8 friends. One week later I got notice that one of the attendees has tested positive for COVID-19. Now we are all under quarantine. We have 5 more days of quarantine, so for we are all OK. It has taught me not to screw up, even a little.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Thank goodness you were notified by a contact tracer. Sending good thoughts your way.

[@texassews535]

Hey Kevin, thank you for this wonderful bun recipe. They are certainly beautiful, as is the crumb that you showed. I really enjoy watching you, whatever you are cooking or doing, on your site. Baking bread, any type, is my favorite thing to do. I can tell you love it as well.

[@Navidmsv]

I like the patience in your work. Anyway, thank you so much for making these videos.

[@Nikamar1]

[@CaptApril123]

Excellent! Exactly what I was looking for. I'm stuck here with burgers but no buns.. I have flour nd figured I could try to make buns. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Thanks

[@hudabsoap6648]

Wonderfull it looks tasty. Thx 4 knowledge offered

[@jansmoak4171]

You do such a good job, thank you for helping me to learn how to make breads. I truly enjoy your vedios. 😊

I have looked everywhere for a hamburger bun recipe that I could actually understand and make. Then I found you. Thanks so much for this! They are amazing and the way you explained I was able to follow along and make my own!!

[@gailcrooks2248]

Thank you for explaining everything so well. I'm gearing ready tp make them.

[@annmarto8169]

Totally agree with you baker. This virus and lockdowns made us all, men and women I think professional bakers and I like baking. So I bake my own bread because I can't this kind of bread in the US that I use to have in my hometown. Thank you for sharing the recipe and they definitely look delicious and I surely will try it. God bless you and stay safe.

[@resabudai2265]

Thank you for your video, it was very easy to follow. I haven’t made them yet and I’m looking forward to it. I think I need to get a stand mixer first and I’ll be on my way. Again, thank you very much and I’m looking forward to your other videos

[@Hammi9954]

I followed this recipe with minor adjustments n thy came out amazing. Thank u

[@sleepingwithmygun2618]

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

I'm so glad!

[@carolinehatley3783]

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Glad you enjoyed them!

[@sabrinaromanovski8917]

First Time I succeed it! Thank You Kevin !

[@jennifern2805]

I was determined to make these again but I didn't want to buy a new mixer just for a dough hook since my grandmother's vintage KitchenAid is still kicking. I decided to try my 450W 12 Cup Hamilton Beach food processor with the slicing blade. I put the liquid in first, then dry ingredients. Gave it a little mix with a spoon (not too much and in 1 direction), then turned it on for minute maybe 1.5 mins. I let it rest a couple of minutes, then mixed again for about a minute. It came out so smooth and very warm (don't over work it because of the heat). I followed Kevin's directions from that point except I sprinkle mine with Everything Bagel Seasoning. They were as delicious as my first icky, sticky batch I made by hand! 💕 See my other comment for a laugh. 😁

[@daniellecrevier970]

Found your channel today, subscrided and MADE these buns today. They are beautiful, tasty, easy and worth making!!! 👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

I'm so glad!!!

[@nancybenner2496]

Good lookin’ buns! Thank you for the video.

[@andreavisconti1491]

Those look amazing Kevin. My Gram would use a towel to cover the bread.

[@rebeccaswartz4891]

After trying several different recipes for hamburger buns, these are by far the best tasting and they freeze perfect! Since I don't have a stand mixer, I kneaded the dough manually (which is why I like baking bread!). I made these last Sunday and today I'm going to make your kneaded bread instead of my regular recipe.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Hi Rebecca - I'm so happy the hamburger buns were a success for you. Hope you enjoy my other bread recipes -- like you, I enjoy kneading by hand!

[@mylindacasbarro777]

Kevin thanks for sharing you are talented.😊

[@Phyllyps-Levine]

Thanks to you my friend! I make Onion buns with this recipe for my Summer Grill Outs. I call them my Grillionair Buns! They are ADORED! Thanks for making me Uber Cool!

"Grillionair Buns" -- great name!!!

[@rogerswayze1053]

Kevin I've tried this recipe and like them with sesame or poppy seeds, but Phylips what did you do to make Onion buns? They were my favorite when I used to buy them.

[@breadbaker42]

Delightful lesson. I’m a bread baker for many years, and I bake challah every week. Slight differences in the recipe, but not so different. I make challah rolls, so the technique is similar, only these buns are larger, probably 3-3.5 oz.@. Gonna give these a try for sure!

Hi Joy - Let me know how the hamburger buns work out for you!

[@Simsane]

Ok, I have to tell you! These are absolutely THE BEST buns I have ever eaten! Yes, I plan to make them bigger next time but wow, Wow, WOW! SO GOOD! I wish I could hug you! They taste EXACTLY like my Grandma's bread and I have been trying for years to find a recipe that tasted like hers. Yes, her bread, lol! She made the exact same recipe for bread, dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls but all her kids and grandchildren loved them all despite the fact that she started each with the same recipe.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

I'm so glad!
