The proper burger bun plays a supporting role to a perfect patty. It’s present but not overpowering, complementary but not controlling. Much like the ideal clutch, it’s capable of carrying the essentials without distracting from the overall outfit. So when it comes time to dress up my burgers, I skip the store-bought varieties and bake up these Easy Homemade Parmesan Hamburger Buns. <br /> <br />This recipe originated from King Arthur Flour’s no-knead burger buns, one of my all-time favorite takes on DIY dough. The simple yeast-based dough is proofed twice for extra-tender results. But I use a trick my mom taught me to get the dough to rise in half the time: transform your dryer into the ultimate proofing box. Simply run your dryer (free of clothes) for a few minutes, turn it off, and then stash the covered dough inside and close the door. The dryer provides a warm, dark environment perfect for doubling the size of your dough. A final egg white wash creates a vibrant sheen atop the sesame-studded golden brown crowns. <br />
