    Sliders are perfect for a party or pot luck. Although you can buy slider buns, the homemade variety is so much better, and is super easy to make!

    Sliders are all the rage these days, and for good reason. They’re a mini sandwich and perfect for a party or pot luck. Although you can buy slider buns, the homemade variety is so much better, and is super easy to make!

    Ingredients for Slider Buns:

    I borrowed King Arthur’s recipe for its Beautiful Burger Buns, and used the following ingredients for my slider buns: Filtered water, egg, unsalted butter, sugar, salt, all-purpose flour, and yeast.

    Making the Slider Buns:

    I used my bread machine to do most of the work. First, I added all of the slider ingredients to the pan of the bread machine. Then, I selected the dough cycle, and walked away!

    When the dough cycle had finished, I had a beautiful, soft dough that was a breeze to work with. I took half of the dough, and placed it on a floured surface. Then, I patted it out to a thickness of about ⅜-inch. Next, I cut 2-inch circles from the dough.

    I placed the circles fairly close together on a parchment lined baking sheet. Then, I repeated the process with the remaining dough. Next, I placed the buns in a slightly warm oven to rise. I always use Julia’s hint of turning my electric oven on for exactly 1 minute and 45 seconds, and then turning it off. This produces the perfect environment!

    After about an hour and a half, the buns had nicely risen, and were ready to be baked. First, however, I brushed them with some melted butter.

    I popped the slider buns into a preheated 375° F oven for about 10 minutes, until they were golden brown. After I removed the buns from the oven, I brushed the tops again with some melted butter. Then, I let them cool completely on a wire rack.

    I ended up with 24 absolutely delicious 2-¾ inch slider buns. They were soft, and perfect for my egg salad sliders, and pulled pork sliders. Yum!

    Ingredients

    • 1 large egg plus enough water to total 9 ounces (about 7 ounces)
    • 2 Tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 3 ½ cups (14.75 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
