For some reason, making bread at home still intimidates me. When I was a pre-teen I did a lot of baking, bread included, but haven't made much bread since then. These turned out great, so I am slowly but surely gaining confidence. Read more They were fairly easy to make, and I can't wait to put a nice juicy burger on them! See less

How to make it
- Heat 1/4 cup water to lukewarm in microwave, about 20 seconds. Pour into a large mixing bowl. Add sugar and whisk to partially dissolve. Add yeast and let sit for about 10 minutes, until frothy.
- Heat remaining 1/2 cup water with butter in microwave until lukewarm, about 30 seconds. Add to yeast mixture.
- Add salt, onion powder (if using), and beaten egg. Mix to combine.
- Add 1 1/2 cups flour. Mix well with wooden spoon. Add additional 1/2 cup flour. If needed, add more flour one tbsp at a time until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl but is still slack and relaxed.
- Sprinkle your work surface lightly with flour. Turn dough onto surface. Sprinkle just enough flour so the dough doesn't stick to the surface, or you. Knead for about 10 minutes.
- Transfer to an oiled bowl, turning dough ball once to cover in oil on all sides. Cover with a dampened dish towel. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour - or more as needed.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Gently deflate dough. Divide into 6 even pieces. Form each into a ball, then flatten into about 3 inch discs. Place on lined sheet about 1/2 inch apart. Cover with dampened dish towel. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour - or more as needed.
- About 15 minutes before ready to bake, preheat oven to 400F.
- One by one, brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle seeds on top. Place in oven on center rack and bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and transfer to cooling rack.
