Burger buns or brioche buns (vegan)
For burgers, the breads I prefer are burger buns or brioche buns (vegan), soft as you wish. Here is my hamburger bun recipe that will allow you to make delicious homemade burgers. I used vegetable milk and a flax egg (which can be replaced by a chia egg, I explain the principle in the recipe), so they will suit everyone, especially vegans or intolerant people.

In a bowl, pour 60 ml of lukewhourswater (not hot water!) then pour in the baker’s yeast. Leave to stand for 1 to 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Pour into the salad bowl and mix. Add the flour and mix with a large spoon. Continue kneading for 10 minutes by hand. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little flour but not too much (about 1 tbshoursximum), the dough should be very flexible.

Tips
If you don’t have enough to grind flax seeds, you can replace them with chia seeds to make your vegan burger buns or brioche buns. No need to grind them to release their mucilage.
