I gotta say… I’m pretty darn proud of this one! I simply cannot get over these gorgeous Hamburger buns. Beautifully golden brown, with that distinct pretzel flavor. In fact, when I was baking these buns, we had couple Handymen over to do a few things around the house, and one of them walked in while I was baking these and declared ‘Wow… it smells like Auntie Anne’s (the pretzel shop), in here’. Bingo!
These aren’t as hard as you may think, and if you’ve looked into making these before and been discouraged when seeing the ingredient of Barley Malt Syrup and thought about not wanting to track that down (in my experience, that’s not typically found in grocery stores), never fear! I found the solution. If you read through the recipe, which asks you to bake your baking soda before using it in the baking soda wash. It really gives it that beautiful color and flavor. Science is cool, right?
Anyways, don’t sleep on these! They’re ridiculously soft and flavorful - a perfect addition to your Burger nights. They’ll bring any sandwich to a whole new level deliciousness. Be sure to pin this recipe, and I’d love to have you follow me on Pinterest, as well as Instagram, under @theflouredcountertop. Happy Baking!
