Here's how to shape burger buns:
1️⃣ Deflate the dough. Once the dough is risen, press it down to deflate it slightly.
2️⃣ Place on work surface. Place the dough onto a clean surface (not a floured surface).
3️⃣ Divide the dough. Use a bench scraper to section the dough into 8 equal pieces. Feel free to eyeball it, but if you’re a perfectionist like me, weigh the entire mass of dough, divide that number by 8, then portion each piece perfectly by weight.
4️⃣ Shape into rounds. As you’re shaping each piece into a round, make sure to tug on pieces of dough to bring towards a central point. Pinch those pieces together to create a very tight, taught ball of dough. Roll the ball on your work surface to even out. This will help the buns rise beautifully.
5️⃣ Don’t flour the work surface. Don’t flour your work surface when shaping the buns because you want some resistance to roll them into taut balls.
6️⃣ Tip if the dough is too sticky to handle easily: Very lightly oil or flour your hands – just enough that you can handle the dough without it sticking to your hands.
