Cornmeal hamburger buns recipe is made from the same ingredients as a wheat bun. The only addition is the cornmeal. They are soft, pillowy, delicious, and high in fiber than the normal hamburger buns.
Add warm milk, water, and sugar to an electric mixer that has a paddle attached to it. Sprinkle active dry yeast on it as well. Mix it until the mixture becomes foamy.
Now, in the same mixture, add 3 egg yolks, salt, butter, cornmeal, and bread flour. Mix it until the dough become soft and smooth.
Oil the inside of a bowl and place the dough.
Cover the top of the bowl with plastic wrap and keep it aside for around 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven. Also, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Then, take the dough out of the bowl. Make small balls from it of around 2 1/4-inches-diameter each. Place the balls on the baking sheet.
Now, in a small bowl, take some egg yolk and some milk and mix it. Brush the top of the dough with this mixture and sprinkle cornmeal on them.
Place the baking tray in the oven. Bake them in the oven for about 30 minutes until they start to rise and become golden brown.
Take the buns out of the oven and split them in half using a knife.
