While you're constructing the perfect patty, take the opportunity to bake homemade hamburger buns. Besides, it's just about the easiest baking recipe imaginable. Also, talk about some bragging rights.

You could make the most awesomely fatty, ooze-tastic burger cooked precisely to your liking, awash with cheese and topped with every awesome thing one might top a burger with. But if your creation ultimately ends up in one of those squishy white supermarket buns—with the sad little sesame seeds on top that can never aspire to fully contain this burger of your dreams—is it really worth it? No, obviously it's not.

So take the opportunity, while you're constructing the perfect patty, to bake homemade hamburger buns. Besides, it's just about the easiest baking recipe imaginable. Also, talk about some bragging rights.  

Between your D.I.Y. burger buns, homemade ketchup and mayo made from scratch, we'd be surprised if people didn't just start inviting themselves over, cases of beer and bags of charcoal in tow. Actually, that sounds pretty good.
