When it comes to homemade sandwich buns, there are several reasons that contribute to why they are better than what you can get at the store! Here are a few reasons why homemade sandwich buns are a better choice:
Freshness – Homemade buns are made from scratch using fresh, high-quality ingredients. This ensures that they are free from preservatives and other additives that are commonly found in store-bought buns. The result is a bun that is softer, tastier, and has a better texture.
Customization – Making your own sandwich buns allows you to customize them to your liking. You can experiment with different flavors, add herbs or spices, like how in this recipe I chose to add everything bagel seasoning to the top of my buns to give them the flavor of an onion bun.
Ingredients Control – By making homemade sandwich buns, you have control over the ingredients you use. You can choose the flour you use, the sugar you add, and the salt with the highest mineral content!
Texture and Taste – Homemade buns often have a superior texture compared to store-bought buns. They are lighter, fluffier, and have a more distinct flavor. Also, when you bake your own buns, you get to customize the level of crustiness or softness based on your personal preference, resulting in a more enjoyable sandwich experience!
Satisfaction – There’s a sense of satisfaction that comes with making your own sandwich buns from scratch. The process can be fun and rewarding! And of course the joy of enjoying a sandwich made with your homemade buns is an added bonus.

Do I have to use a bread machine?
No, you do not have to use a bread machine to make these sandwich buns. You can make these the old fashioned way by kneading the dough for about 10 minutes. This is what will help your buns develop gluten that will make your sandwich buns soft and fluffy! After you are done kneading you will let the dough rise for 35 minutes. Then punch down and shape your buns!

How do I make soft sandwich buns?
First thing you are going to do is add all of the ingredients to your bread machine starting with wet ingredients first and ending with the dry ingredients.
Next set your bread machine to the dough setting and press start. Let it run through its cycle. Be sure to check if the dough is mixing properly.
Once the dough is done rising in the bread machine you can now remove the mixing bowl.
Grease a pan and start rolling out the sandwich buns. Once all the dough is rolled out and placed in a pan, let the buns rise for 35 minutes or until doubled in size.
Once the sandwich buns are done rising, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Whisk up an egg and 2 tablespoons of milk. Begin to brush the tops of the sandwich buns. Top with whatever seasonings you like!
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown on the tops of the sandwich buns.
Serve however you like!
