Hamburger Bun

A hamburger bun is a soft, slightly sweet bread roll, typically round and split horizontally, designed to cradle delicious burger fillings. These buns are often made from enriched wheat flour, giving them a tender texture and a subtly sweet flavor that complements both savory and sweet components. They come in various sizes, from classic to jumbo, and may be topped with sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal. Perfect for grilling, toasting, or simply enjoying fresh, hamburger buns are a staple for building the ultimate burger experience.
