Prepare the Yeast Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the active dry yeast, warm water, vegetable oil, and sugar. Mix them until the ingredients are well incorporated. Allow the mixture to rest for about 5 minutes until it starts to foam.
Add Remaining Ingredients: Add in the beaten egg, salt, and gradually mix in the flour until the ingredients are well integrated.
Knead the Dough: Knead the dough on a floured surface until it becomes soft and elastic, which should take about 3-5 minutes. It’s crucial not to let the dough rise too much at this stage.
Form the Buns: Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and shape each piece into a ball.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the dough balls on a greased baking tray or a tray lined with baking paper.
Rest and Brush the Buns: Cover the shaped buns with a kitchen towel and let them rest for about 10 minutes. After resting, brush the tops of the buns with an egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds on top, if desired.
Baking: Bake the buns in the preheated oven until they are golden brown, which should take about 8 to 12 minutes.
Cooling: Once done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely before slicing and using them for your delicious homemade burgers!
