Easy Homemade Burger Buns Beautiful golden brown hamburger buns that have delicious fresh flavor, and they make for the best diner style beef burger out there!

They’re great for turkey burgers, black bean burgers, pulled pork, or pulled chicken. Or head in a more creative direction and repurpose leftovers into a French toast casserole, bread pudding, homemade croutons, or try trimming a thin layer off the top and bottom and turn them into a tasty grilled cheese....
