How To Make The Best Burger Buns Of All Time

  • You know those fancy burger buns you get from fancy "burger bars"? The brioche kind of burger bun.. This is that bun, but better, and really easy to make. This is a combination between a brioche and Japanese milk bread dough, that to me creates the ultimate burger bun. It's light and airy, glossy, and has a nice fluffy inside that gets a great toast and absorbs juices without going soggy. Plus these buns can be used for all sorts of things other than burgers, like the most amazing breakfast sandwich, or a fried chicken sandwich. It's all good, and just in time for that summer grilling.

      The bun is the most important as the burger can have whatever you want on it. The meat portion is also different as people season them differently as some like plain salt and pepper on top before cooking while others, like myself, basically make a meatloaf patty as I have sauteed onions, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, eggs added into my burger meat. I then top it with maple glazed bacon, ham, an over medium egg, garlic aioli and cheese. However, if the bun is bad, your burger isn't gong to taste as good.

    INGREDIENTS:
    For Tangzhong:
    2 tablespoons (20g) bread flour
    2 tablespoons (27g) water
    4 tablespoons (60g) whole milk
    For Dough:
    1/2 cup(120g) whole milk @ 95f (30c)
    1 tablespoons (9g) instant yeast
    2.5 cups (320g) Bread flour
    1 teaspoon (7g) fine sea salt
    2.5 tablespoons (35g) granulated sugar
    1 whole egg
    1 egg yolk
    3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, softened
    For Egg Wash:
    1 whole egg
    Splash of whole milk
    INSTRUCTIONS:
    Bread Dough
    For the tangzhong, add all ingredients together over medium heat, and constantly whisk until it becomes a paste.
    For the primed yeast mixture, add and mix together. Store in a warm area and let sit for 8 minutes.
    In a stand mixer bowl, add the dry ingredients. Slowly add in milk and yeast mixture, the tangzhong mix. Let homogenize. When dough starts coming together, add the egg and egg yolk. Then increase speed to medium low until incorporated. Gradually add butter until incorporated meaning when dough is mixed, nothing sticks to the sides.
    Lightly grease a medium sized bowl, gently fold and place seam side down. Place a damp towel of the dough and bring to warm area to proof for 1 - 1.5 hours
    To shape, punch the dough down then flour work surface
    Divide dough into six even pieces around 95 - 105 g
    To shape the individual buns, gently stretch flipped side down and fold to the center. Repeat this process for the whole segment of dough, then flip upside down.
    Rotate dough 90 degrees and pull towards you. Repeat two more times to complete rotation around the whole perimeter.
    Place shaped dough in rimmed sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Leave 2.5 in of space or 6 cm apart.
    Cover with similar sized sheet tray that is flipped so that the dough will not dry out.
    Before baking, brush with egg wash (1 whole egg plus a splash of milk)
    Bake at 375 degrees F or 190 C for 18 minutes until golden brown.

      they were two differences, milk was a bit too hot when i added the yeast and the unsalted butter, recipe says softened (which i did the first time) but this time it was melted but not hot, which i measured it before melting it

  • @WeRemainFaceless
    @WeRemainFaceless 2 роки тому +77

    Just a tip, if you want them to be extra soft and perfect, put a tray of boiling water on the bottom shelf of the oven 5-10 mins before you put the buns in the oven.
    The steam helps keep them soft and prevents the crust from drying out as they cook.

I've just made my 3rd batch this 1st month. They turn out scrumptious every time. I will never buy "store-bought" buns again. For that matter, they are incredible right from the oven, split and buttered (yes, I confess, the smell got to me and I couldn't wait). Bought your cookbook, and maybe I might eventually make it past the bread pages in the near future. Congratulations to you on your attractive, successful cookbook and congratulations to your parents as well !!!

    These buns are truly a game changer. I've tried many recipes and I've tried to improve on those, but these are simply out of this world. And so far I've only tried one without any meat or other toppings. And the best part is, if you freeze them right after they've cooled down and you put them in the microwave for 10 seconds after they've thawed the day you need them, they taste just like when you took them out of the oven. Genius.

    Double and triple the recipe..it works easier in the mixer, and these things freeze so perfectly there’s no reason not to bake them ahead! I flatten mine more and give long, cool rises..best sandwich buns ever! If you don’t know how to freeze bread, it couldn’t be simpler..first, let baked breads dry and cool completely before freezing. Place into a freezer bag, evacuate as much air without smushing, then freeze. Now, one secret to high quality is..let them thaw completely without opening the bag! The moisture lost from the bread is trapped in the bag, you need to let the bread reabsorb that water vapor, and presto, when you take it out of the bag, it’s practically better than fresh baked..

    A tip for people who don't have a stand mixer: just mix all the wet ingredients at once. Don't bother using softened butter and adding eggs at a different time. Just melt the butter into milk, but not hot enough to cook the eggs, then whisk eggs then add those, then mix in the tangzhong while it's still warm. Just make sure the whole mix is cool enough for the yeast and add that to either the wet mix or the flour.
    Also I don't even bother dusting the table or my hands with flour. I just deal with the mess while I'm kneading for ten minutes and use a bread scraper to scrape it off my hands and table occasionally. Letting it rest a few minutes after ten minute knead will of course help the stickiness of it plenty.

    • @parrot998
      @parrot998 Рік тому +1

      Problem with this suggestion: The butter is added near the end for a reason. lipids inhibit gluten development, so if you do this, it will take longer to proof properly and will have less chew. Obviously whether or not this is wanted is preference, but your suggestions will not result in the same end result as if you followed this recipe as directed.
      I would suggest using melted better though for convenience. But only if you are using a mixer or the dough setting on a bread maker. You need to stream it in a little at a time towards the end, letting it incorporate before you add more (if you add too much too quickly it'll cause the dough to smack up against the walls of your vessel and splash melted better everywhere). If you, like me keep your butter in the fridge it is way more convenient than having to remember to take the butter out a couple hours before you need it.

    Hey so quick tip here: if your house is kinda cold or you don't have a fermentation box thingy, use your microwave to heat it up (without the dough inside, maybe heat your food or something) then stick your dough inside of the warm microwave. Obviously it's gonna slowly cool down but it's gonna be a lot warmer due to the residual heat and close microwave.

    It took a Lockdown for me to finally make bread for the first time. I made this tonight and it was the best hamburger bun I’ve ever had 🤤

    Needed a burger bun recipe and this was like going back in time. Amazing to see how your production value has increased over the years (good => great!). Thanks for the content!

    These really are perfect. I make them in different sizes -- regular, mini (for my grandsons), and jumbo. Every size works.

    I very rarely comment on UA-cam about anything, but I wanted to tell you that this is an amazing recipe. I like to bake a lot and am not inexperienced about bread, but this recipe provided me with a new look on brioche style bread. Thank you for the recipe and the insight. I think you have made a good choice in sharing your experiences and wish you good fortune in your endeavors, Joshua.

    Never heard of tangzhong before finding this recipe yesterday. Used my sourdough starter discard for the tangzhong-just for an experiment. It smelled terrible, but I made them anyway-without expecting much. They turned out great! Love your vids. Thanks!

    Made these last night. Leaps and bounds better than anything I could buy at the store. The tangzhong really makes them so much softer.
