Soft and chewy with a kick of sourdough, these buns will be the star of any hamburger show. Their spongy nature allows them to soak up all the burger juice, yet their overall strong structure means they won’t fall apart mid-burger. Egg wash gives them a shiny, golden finish; feel free to customize to taste with seeds or seasonings. You won’t want to leave these buns out of your burger-making routine.
