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.

[@saysoun752]

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.

[@myusername570]

@bababoy8845 I just tried for the 3rd or 4th time and got the best result yet. Biggest change was temps of milk and water closer, and mixing for longer than I ever had. I did a double batch and my standmixer was pretty warm by the end of it. Probably a good 10ish mins on speed 2.

[@mrfunkedude]

For anyone that wants a written instruction for this recipe here you go. First make the Tangzong. Combine 60g of whole milk, 27g of water, 20g bread flour, in sauce pot. Place on medium heat until it becomes a paste. Take 120g of whole milk heated to about 95F add 9 grams instant yeast. let sit for 8 min. Combine in bowl 320g bread flour, 35g of sugar, 7g fine sea salt, and wisk until incorperated. With stand mixer running on low speed with the dough hook, slowly add yeast and milk mixture and Tangzon paste to bowl followed by 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk (room temp) Increase stand mixer to medium low until Incorporated. Once incorperated slowly add 42g of softened unsalted butter, kneed for 8 min. Gently oil a bowl, take dough and pull in the sides. Place seem side down and create a boule and place it in bowl with damp towel for 1 1/2-2 hours and wait for it to double. Take out dough and decompress air. Lightly flour surface and put your dough on the table and divide into 6 even pieces. 95g-105g each. Shape each section into a boule creating tension on the top. Place balls on parchment paper far enough apart for rise. Cover and let rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until it's doubled. Create egg wash with one egg and a splash of milk. Cover top of buns with egg wash. Bake at 375F for 16 to 18 min or until deep golden brown.

@@Alexander_Meyer It's like a ToFurkey, just eat something else. Like the Keto people making Cauliflower pizza crust. Going a long way to make something "fake" to hit some emotional memory of something. People want to change their diets, whether for health, ideology, or other factors, but want to hang on to some resemblance of what they either used to eat, or wanted to eat. It is their right to do so, not going to argue that. I just see it as chasing your tail.

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.

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.

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..

[@c.odubhlaoich2948]

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.

[@c.odubhlaoich2948]

Also, I recommend cold proofing too. I do it up to 3 days but mostly just like 36 hours. Such good flavor development that way

[@parrot998]

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.

I made these buns today for the Popeyes sandwich but better recipe and these buns are fire and easy to make! I made them without a standing mixer. A couple of tips: 1. The dough may seem too dry at first. Just trust the process. 2. The dough may seem too sticky. Just trust the process. Keep kneading. It will come together and be perfect. I plan on making more and freezing some for later. No need to ever buy burger buns again! Thanks Papa!

I’ve made this recipe twice - gorgeous buns, Josh! I will say, both times I measured by weight but needed to add almost a cup of extra flour to get the dough to come together (I use Gold Medal bread flour which is 10% protein). Thankfully I could just rewind and see the exact consistency to target - smooth, loose, and tacky to the touch. Thanks buddy.

You probably needed more flour because 10% protein is not considered “bread flour”. Bread flour has 11 - 13% protein content. I used Five Roses Canadian all purpose flour, which has 13% protein even higher than King Arthur’s bread flour (12.7%).

French toast works beast with day old stale bread, this would negate any potential benefits of the hokkaido method in my opinion. You're way better off just using a fully enriched dough like a brioche because it just has so much more flavour than the hokkaido bread. Not that it would be bad, it would still be better than using say a white bloomer loaf.

These burger buns are amazing. I've made them many times, and I use almond milk and vegan butter--still amazing. Today I made the recipe on the "dough" function in my bread machine and the buns turned out just perfect. I put the milk, tangzhong, salt, sugar, eggs, and butter in first, followed by the flour and then the yeast. After the dough had mixed and proofed (an hour and 40 minutes), I shaped the buns and let them rise for 1.5 hours. The result was identical to the multi-step method outlined in Josh's vido. It's a real time-saver--I highly recommend the bread-machine method.

Glad to see you cooked your burger all the way through. Here in Europe a LOT of people like their burgers rare, which I find odd and out-of-place. In my mind, the concept of burger was developed to utilize the less appetizing parts of meat in a way that's not a health hazard, so for me a real burger is cooked all the way. What's your opinion on this, Josh?

[@JoshuaWeissman]

tonajki I like my burger medium rare, but only if it’s super fresh meat. I cooked this one to well done because I don’t like the grinder that my local grocery store uses, it’s weirdly coarse and their meat was not very fresh that day. I think that if the grind on the meat is nice and smoother, then it will be better medium rare. But if it’s a chunkier grind then the texture to me isn’t as enjoyable at medium rare. With that said I also cooked this specific burger well done too avoid the “omg it’s raw” comments. When I do a full burger guide, I’ll talk about that. :)

[@tonajki]

Joshua Weissman thanks:) one more question: 80% blade, 20% unprocessed tallow, ground twice, salt, pepper, a bit of garlic. Yay or nay?
