burger buns

Patty's bread cradle

Burger buns are the soft, round bread rolls used to sandwich a hamburger patty.

They're typically split horizontally, with the meat and toppings placed between the halves.

Standard buns are plain white bread; brioche buns are richer and slightly sweet.

Sesame seeds on top are traditional but optional: I'll take mine on a sesame bun.
