Best Brioche Burger Buns | Christine Cushing

Many thanks! The burger is coming up next ..

[@quezebojones9352]

I didn't realize how important the bun is in a good burger until I made these. The burger goes from average to one of the best you have ever had. Thanks.

[@ChristineCushing]

It's so true right? It has to be tender enough but not mush when the burger juices drip onto it. I'm so glad you loved it as much as we do. I always make extra and keep them in freezer for easy retrieval.

Hello Christine, I love the look of those buns and they have me hungry right now and I just pulled some burgers out of my freezer and thought that I am out of bread to eat with the burgers. I will thaw out the burgers I have and go shopping tomorrow for regular bread and buns to put the burgers on.

What a treat to finally get a good authentic recipe for brioche buns. They do make great buns for hamburgers. How about a less fattening recipe for chicken kiev? Also my mom made a desert for us on special occasions called Bavarian Crème which she put in a loaf pan which may not be authentic. She was German and also made peppernuts for Xmas and honey cookies that aged in a crock (forever from my point of view as a kid). They would be rock hard when first baked but softened to fig newton texture and bite after aging I'm 73 and it is just the two of us but I still try new recipes all the time and my husband is game unless it is pasta! Thanks for your expertise and delightful manner!

[@ginnyscott7255]

I got a barbecue brisket in a bun from a food truck last year. You could tell they had gone to a lot of trouble to make the delicious brisket but it was served on the saddest Safeway like soft white burger bun. I ate the meat out of the bun. I am a Maritimer living in Calgary and when I get my hands on some lobster and I need a lobster roll it must have the most delicious kind of roll I can buy or bake. I made my husband a burger today, had no buns, so I used some naan bread that I had made yesterday. Today I made the naan bread into chips. I love your show, keep up the good work.

[@ChristineCushing]

Thank you so much! We went to a friend's house for back yard dinner and they made lobster rolls for me that were phenomenal. I thought as a Maritimer , you'd enjoy hearing that. Be well

Your enthusiasm is absolutely infectious. All because of this I have to go buy a stand mixer (and build an addition onto the house so you can store it). Question: what’s the right size (capacity) for the mixer?

[@jjpp2216]

PS I am Italian and I, too, prefer Greek olive oil. I generally find it to be grassier in flavour, which I love.

[@TheAgentbosko]

THATS FUNNY:)

[@ChristineCushing]

I'm so sorry, I just saw this question. It's the grassiness that I also love in Greek olive oils. I'm sorry ( haha) that you had to go buy a mixer and put an extension on the house LOL> but , I predict you will really enjoy it. Mine is a 7 qt. - the professional series, which I like also because the motor is stronger and I use it a lot. If you are making just 1 cake or bread at a time and don't use it often, a smaller one will also work.

[@jjpp2216]

MyFavouriteFoods ChristineCushing I bought the mixer. No addition to house needed, found a way to make it work in terms of storage. Husband must sleep in back yard, mind you, but it’s a fair trade off. Priorities.

Might I recommend end of summer/early fall for that, and the coq au vin when it's cooler (it's winter comfort food for me -- and PS I make a GREAT one).

[@nadastankovic5245]

Good-evening Christine, I saw you put instant yeast into flour. I never tried instant, only fresh and non instant yeast. Does it matter which type of yeast one uses? Second I use olive oil in everything, baking and cooking. I find the Italian and Portuguese olive oil is sometimes bitter. What makes Greek olive oil different than most? Last I have to try Greek oregano because sometimes the Italian one again I find it bitter. The fresh herbs I don’t find them to be bitter. I love working with dough and yeast. The Brioche looks yummy 😋

[@ChristineCushing]

The beauty of I stand yeast it is a different texture and 25% more active, so you actually use less of it. If you are using dry active or fresh yeast you will have to start it in the milk and let it foam. Olive oil is a long story but Greek olive as I mentioned in video , primary olive is kororneiki which when made well is peppery and fruity bit does not have the bitter notes like Tuscan oils, for example. It’s also important to buy a well made oil and Greek oils are more value for money . I may have to do a video on olive oil . I hope some of this helps

[@nadastankovic5245]

[@marklamprey6081]

Hi Christine. I'm eager to make these. I have hard-wheat flour (King Arthur bread flour). Should I use the same weight as in the recipe?

[@ChristineCushing]

That will be the best option, now you may likely find it will take a bit less flour to achieve the right consistency. I would hold back about 10% of the flour and check , like I do in video to make sure it's not too dry. It may take some playing around. I hope you try it and let me know how they turn out. I hope this helps.

How would you do the dough with hands? If you don't have a machine.

[@ChristineCushing]

You would just use that kneading method that I show towards the end , when I take the dough out of mixer to finish it. Another method is to follow what I did with poolish then add to the remaining ingredients and just bring it together with wooden spoon and hands. Then let it stand , covered at room temperature for 3o minutes. This will make the dough easier to knead by hand. Then continue that technique i showed , until dough looks smooth. Transfer to a bowl and start adding oil by hand. continue. I hope this helps.

[@ljubog]

Dear Christine, can you please help, my buns always crack at the bottom, why is that? The bottom separates with a crack just bellow the cutting line. Thank you!

You can use AP Flour, however Bread Flour will make it easier for the gluten to develop in the dough in the kneading process.

No it is the right amount 1 tsp. of instant yeast. Instant yeast is about 25 % more active, than active dry yeast. I hope this helps. Thank you

[@oanastanescu5427]

Can you use a food processor instead of the mixer?

[@ChristineCushing]

I have not made it with a food processor. You could try with the plastic dough blade and just use quick pulses, letting it rest for 15 minutes between each addition of olive oil. I hope this helps.

[@lillianborg8722]

Thanks for answering so quickly ....i meant overnight proofing in the fridge would that be still okay

Where is the best place to buy the best Olivia oil and name a couple

[@Wishpicker]

Can you make this by hand instead of using a mixer please, because I would love to try the recipe, but I don’t have a mixer? Thank you.

[@ChristineCushing]

You can make these by hand, it will just take some muscle. During the initial mixing of the poolish with the rest of the ingredients just mix everything with spatula, or wooden spoon until all the flour is absorbed. Turn onto a board or counter and knead by hand. It will be helpful to stop and let the dough rest for 10 minutes , twices during process. It will seem super stickly but you should avoid adding too much flour or they will be dry. The same goes for the adding oil part, similar to how I worked it in video after I turned it onto my counter. I hope this helps. Thank you

[@bessiemanos513]

Yes, you can use dry active yeast, but you just have to let it activate in the milk ( warm it slightly ) before adding it to the poolish flour. I would also add an extra 1/4 tsp. I hope this helps.

Can I use sourdough starter in place of instant yeast

[@ChristineCushing]

Yes, you can use a sourdough starter in place of the yeast. I have not tested this recipe per se, to give you specific times, but if you have experience, you can add the starter to the poolish, and let that rise longer ( the eggs and milk will impede the wild yeasts so it takes time) . It's probably, best to let it rise for a few hours at room temperature and maybe try fridge overnight. Thank you
