    -RECIPE*-
    (makes 12 buns)
    *I HIGHLY recommend using measurements in grams to make this recipe. Volumetric measurements are less accurate.
    ▪200g or 3/4c warm water (86F/30C)
    ▪70g or 1/3c sugar
    ▪1 large egg
    ▪75g or 5 1/2Tbsp melted butter (not hot) + extra for brushing
    ▪8g or 2 1/2Tsp instant yeast
    ▪15g or 1 3/4Tbsp dough conditioner
    ▪150g riced baked potato (or about 1c of baked potato before it’s riced)
    ▪625g or 5c all purpose flour
    ▪12g or 2tsp salt
    ▪Egg wash (1 egg + splash of water)
    Add ingredients to mixing bowl and mix with dough hook on medium speed for 8-10min. The dough will look loose at around 4-5 minutes before it comes together into a nice ball that’s no longer extremely sticky.
    Use a soaking wet hand and a grab and round in a 10 & 2 motion to tuck the dough into a taught ball. See video @3:18. Cover and ferment at room temperature for 30min.
    The dough should have gassed up quite a bit. Aggressively degas the dough so that you can perform a strength building fold (as shown @3:50). After the strength building fold and another 10-2 rounding, cover the dough again and allow to ferment at room temp for another 30min.
    It will have risen a lot again after the second ferment, so aggressively degas it. Divide into 12 equal pieces (about 100g each). Shape and roll each piece of dough as shown @4:38 and place onto a baking sheet lined with oiled parchment. Don’t crowd buns. I recommend using at least 2 trays. Spritz with water and cover with a damp towel to proof for 60-90min. The buns are well proofed when they can take a poke and slowly bounce back. Brush top and sides of buns with egg wash (1 egg + splash water)
    Load into preheated 400F/205C, spritz the oven with 10-15 sprays of water, and bake for 15-18min until golden brown, rotating halfway through for even browning if needed.
    Brush tops with melted butter.

The best part is that I couldn't get my hands on the conditioner before my impulse to make them took over, so now I will get to see what they are like when I add the bonus ingredient. What a lovely dough to work with, truly supple. This made it very helpful as I tried to get my move on the actual rolling of each ball done. This is a FANTASTIC BUN!!!!!

    just want to comment that I made these the other day and they were by far the best burger buns ive ever made. ive done brioche, milk bread, potato buns, and white bread buns and they all were decent but lacked that extra something. I guess it was the dough conditioner cause these were, even 12 hours later, soft and plush. they almost overshadowed the beef they were so good. ill be using this recipe for the rest of my life. 2 changes I did make were, I boiled the russets until tender and I felt the dough needed a few drops extra water to come together.

      @enriquedossantos3283 Рік тому +1

      Softness and texture are linked to kneading (time and technique) and flour quality, if one of those fails you get below optimal results, the taste of store-bought brave is directly linked to the metric ton of sugar and or corn syrup, also they usually don use butter they use hydrogenated oil (fake butter, with fake butter taste)

    • @DenaInWyo
      @DenaInWyo 9 місяців тому +1

      Softness is easily matched, it's the combo between that and not completely dissolving under pressure. Giving these a try because I'm still on my quest!

Tangzhong does seem like less effort than baking a potato, but I'd like to know which wins in texture and taste. Thx, and keep up the good work!

    I made these, but without the special dough conditioner.
    I’ve tried making home made burger buns following a few different recipes in the past. Brioche, potato buns, I’ve given quite a few different recipes of each a try.
    And this recipe was just leagues above what I’ve done before.
    They are just such great burger buns.
    Super flavourful, very soft, perfect texture. And the brushing of butter really makes quite the difference. Just super delicious.

      Did you have to adapt anything in the recipe to take into account the dough conditioner? (proofing time etc?) I think I'll be trying the same

      Was the texture of the bun the same like in video?

      @@AmarObro the dough conditioner most likely is added for good reason, and I would expect it’s even better with it.
      My results looked very similar to the video, and I was super happy with the texture. But like I said it’s very likely added to the original recipe for good reason.
      All I can say is that even without it, the texture is leagues better than any other I’ve tried. Really impressive.
      Both that I’ve tried making myself. And I would consider better than any of the more high end trendy burger places I’ve been to.
      And the type of recipes I tend to follow when baking / cooking is more in the line of serious eats, and other equally involved and maybe a bit over the top sort of stuff.
      Absolutely worth following the recipe, even without the dough conditioner. And if you are are as impressed as I was with the results, then maybe order the dough conditioner for the next time you make them.
