Hamburger Bun Bread Pudding | Food Wishes

This incredible Hamburger Bun Bread Pudding has a much different texture than regular bread pudding, as it’s lighter, creamier, and more luxurious. It also looks gorgeous, and has a very catchy name; so for all those reasons and more, I really do hope you give it a try soon. Enjoy!

Awe man , I only have stale hotdog buns! And I don’t want to put relish and sauerkraut in it😂

[@auntgeriskitchen8238]

😂😂😂

[@anamakda4879]

🤣🤪😂

[@jafujiyoshi]

I was gonna say, really no relish?

Well-played. ​@@anamakda4879

Don't tempt Chef John; He'll find a way to make this work. I think Dylan Hollis has a sauerkraut cake, somewhere in his recipes already... wouldn't be much of a stretch.

The return of the King. Hope your wife is doing OK.

"a nice big pinch of sugar" 😂

[@supergeek1418]

A nice big pinch of sugar... *ON STEROIDS* !!!

[@boredlawyer3382]

In Chef-John speak, that means the produce of a small sugar plantation.

[@toni6194]

Once he said add a touch of sugar and dumped five whole packs worth in a giant bowl

[@silentbob3208]

If your pinch is the biggest handful possible.

Chef John is a madman, and I love it.

[@bulletproofblouse]

The Chef John / Chef Jean-Pierre collab has got to be on the way. Forget the Marvel Universe, this is the team up we need.

[@NealKlein]

It's videos like this one that have kept me as a Food Wishes member for nearly four years now.

[@maryjennings1704]

Ketchup, mustard and mayo? Straight to jail, chef 😂

[@loveistruth5713]

Hey Chef John I was just thinking about bread pudding I had a friend who used to go to the bakery and get stale Donuts and he would make the most incredible bread pudding out of old donuts and cinnamon rolls I just so happens I have an abundance of hamburger buns😂😂😂

[@MythicFool]

I remember at the casino I worked at, the buffet would make bread pudding with the leftover donuts and cinnamon rolls from the day before.

[@heathersurprise3381]

That sounds amazing!

[@MythicFool]

@@heathersurprise3381 It was.

[@mimiscountrycooking1607]

That sounds great ❤

[@lynnstlaurent6789]

I have made it. It’s delicious.

[@jeffralston1]

I was thinking that brioche buns would be the way to go, but now I'm wondering about those sweet Hawaiian dinner rolls.

[@retiredarchitect3462]

I was thinking of potato rolls

[@custos3249]

Or kaiser rolls

[@stevensather5911]

I like the Hawaiian sweet rolls idea. I believe they have hamburger buns in Hawaiian now.

[@markhollifield1823]

I've never seen Hawaiian rolls last long enough to get stale.

[@jeffralston1]

@@markhollifield1823 Yeah, you'd definitely need to use the dry in the oven technique.

[@KurtisRader]

I don't understand why so many people disparage bread pudding. It's like meatloaf. Both are a great way to turn ingredients nearing the end of their usefulness (e.g., carrots that are no longer crisp, stale bread, etc.) into something awesome.

[@kylaluv8453]

Toasting the buns reminds me of when I was teaching my youngest how to make french toast. She was confused why we didn't toast the bread first. It is french "toast" after all. So we toasted two of the slices first and she loved it. Now we always lightly toast the bread first before we dip and fry.

[@CantankerousDave]

I use the America’s Test Kitchen (or is it Cook’s Country?) recipe that involves baking them 8 at a time on a baking sheet. I do toast them to heat them up in the morning, though.

[@le2382]

That sounds like a brilliant idea! I’m definitely going to try it 😊

[@faigee3493]

I reminds me of my mama. She used to make us toasted hamburger buns with custard cream for lunch😂

[@kk-qg7uc]

I always get brioche buns @ Aldi . This sounds good but I bet the brioche would make it even better .

[@CantankerousDave]

I save those for fancy burgers.

[@cynthiamorton3583]

I don’t think I’ve had a bread pudding that I haven’t loved. This version looks great. One of my favourite versions uses panettone. Yum!

[@chaddnewman2699]

My 14 year old daughter loves bread pudding. We’ll have to try this.

[@stillvisionsmusic]

I can also vouch for bagel pudding and Apple fritter pudding. Both worked very well.

[@mimiscountrycooking1607]

Sounds yummy ❤

[@skeets6060]

Now I can just see the boys faces at deer camp when I pull these out of the oven!

‘A pinch of sugar you say’….😮

DAVE'S KILLER HAMBURGER BUNS WORK GREAT!!!😂

[@CoadyShay]

This is insane, chef John

[@user-oe8gj7fz6v]

Looks fantastic!!! I'm a big fan of bread pudding. My favorite is made with glazed donuts, way too many walnuts, and two more eggs than my recipe calls for 😊

[@markbrookes6557]

I think I would have soaked the raisins in the whiskey myself!

[@TheLifeOfAnIndividual]

Making this rn, and I dont have yellow mustard nor ketchup I have dijon and bbq sauce so well see how this turns out lol! Update: Its delicious! No surprise from Chef John. Can’t wait to tell my wife about the secret ingredients!! Highly recommend to have it soak overnight as the buns took awhile to get fully saturated. Definitely chill until cold especially on hot days. I have a 2 y/o so the wife didn’t want him to have any of the whiskey caramel sauce. Though a little real dark maple syrup was suitable. Plus I doubt my son is gonna recognize the nuance of the smokey buttery amazingness from the original. Thank you Chef this will be such a wonderful memory!

[@TSeeker1]

🥺 How was it???

[@TheLifeOfAnIndividual]

@@TSeeker1 its baking rn, I let it sit for awhile in the fridge as the buns were a bit dense and needed the time to soak up all the custard batter. Ill let you know once I try it after it rest!

[@TSeeker1]

@@TheLifeOfAnIndividual 🤞!

[@TheLifeOfAnIndividual]

@@TSeeker1its delicious! Classic custard taste with a nice airy texture from the buns. I highly recommend. I didn’t have any raisins but its plenty sweet to cover. Deviating this far from the recipe with the dijon mustard and bbq sauce I was really concerned about the flavor but you wouldn’t know until its revealed. Following the original recipe will only make this better. Highly recommend to have it wait 12 hrs to overnight as it did take a bit for all the buns to all soak.

[@TSeeker1]

@@TheLifeOfAnIndividual Wow, who would have thought?!🤯 Thank you for being brave and adventurous and sharing your results!!❤️

[@PebblesOTB]

Hopefully the wife is doing well and this looks great

[@louisaleroux5610]

Bread pudding is one of my favorite confort sweets that I'm not supposed to eat.

[@stevemonkey6666]

When he added the ketchup I almost actually did turn the video off. 😅

[@gohawks3571]

Not ketchup. Secret ingredient😉 😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@laraq07]

I would honestly leave all 3 of the 'secret ingredients' out.

[@marymcnay7335]

Same!

[@mls6684]

Yet, there is somethng about Chef John's voice that made you want to continue listening. I was more impressed by the tips and techniques than the secret ingredients. I will make this bread pudding soon.

[@xhixhra5541]

​@@laraq07ketchup is mostly sugar and vinegar, and mayo mostly eggs and oil so those two probably ain't too bad. But the mustard??? What on earth is that supposed to pair with in a sweet application. My rule is if you have it on hand just add the ketchup and mayo otherwise leave it all out. He himself said that at those quantities they don't add much of anything

[@NeganSmith-bb1fr]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! But for real, hamburger buns have always been so sweet to me that it makes sense

[@tompagano9015]

Since you added raisins it’s got me wondering if mincemeat would also work.

[@NorthernLight95]

“Btw, if your buns are already actually stale and dry..”😂

[@Blu3-Fir3]

Whiskey makes everything better, especially though in this case.

[@supergeek1418]

As a sailor, I lean a bit more towards rum, but I *certainly* wouldn't turn it down...

OMG! I have always thrown out stale burger buns… thank you so effin much!!!

Nice buns John 😊

[@mantra4ia]

Time to bust out my stale pretzel burger buns. Thank you for the inspiration, Chef.

[@jastrub]

I often make french toast with brioche hot dog buns from a local bakery that they sell for half price the day after

[@globbaslobba]

bounced on my boys burger bun bread pudding to this for hours

[@markshard]

I feel like I should made two. one with KMM and one without. i mean I don't recall the last time I put raisins and cinnamon on my hamburger

[@rachaelhoffman-dachelet2763]

My second favorite bread dough (after my sourdough) is a slightly sweet enriched dough that I use for everything from hamburger buns, to dinner rolls, to braided seeded loaves, to sandwich bread. It would be perfect for this in any form. Thanks for the idea.

I often let your videos cue up on their own. One question and one suggestion... Do you have a stand mixer? Get some Allclad cookware, seriously! It's a game changer!

[@williamdistefano5698]

I thought for sure the secret ingredient was going to be Chinese 5 spice. Also, I never not laugh at the "touch" of sugar 😂

[@SchwarzeBananen]

I would have soaked the raisins in American whiskey.

[@jezbraun]

Just a pinch of sugar..... :D

[@davidcarbone3385]

By pinch. Chef means cup! yum! love a good bread pudding and this looks that! I knew the secret greds were K, Ma, and Mu.

[@davidf.8345]

I read somewhere from one of those food nerds (and I’m saying food nerd as a compliment.). Dry bread is different than stale bread. Toasted dry bread will absorb liquids and flavors better. ( I don’t remember the exact science on why) Stale bread is ok if you do not want to waste. But if you are starting with fresh bread, dry it in the oven instead of letting it sit out and stale.

[@LuisVazquez-hx3bk]

You could ad a little drizel of meat broth.🤣
