Kroger Sesame Hamburger Buns
What it is
These are soft, round bread rolls designed for serving with hamburgers. They are enriched, meaning certain nutrients have been added back during processing. The top of each bun is sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds, which add a subtle nutty flavor and visual appeal. They are a common choice for casual meals and barbecues, providing a convenient way to hold your favorite burger toppings.

To prepare these buns for serving, you can simply slice them in half horizontally. For a warmer, softer bun, you can lightly toast them in a toaster oven or under a broiler for a minute or two until golden brown. Some people prefer to lightly grill or pan-fry the cut sides of the bun to add a bit of crispness and depth of flavor. They are also excellent when warmed in a conventional oven before serving, especially for larger gatherings.
