What it is
These are soft, round bread rolls typically used for hamburgers. They are often sprinkled with sesame seeds on top, which adds a subtle nutty flavor and a pleasant texture. The buns are usually pre-sliced for easy filling. They provide a convenient base for building your favorite burger creations, from classic beef patties to vegetarian options.

To best enjoy these buns, consider toasting them lightly before assembling your burger. This can be done in a toaster, under a broiler, or on a grill. Toasting adds a delightful crispness and helps prevent the bun from becoming soggy. Place your cooked patty, toppings, and sauces inside the toasted bun for a complete and satisfying meal. They are also excellent for other sandwich fillings.

How to keep the rest
