Grilled burgers w/ homemade buns
Jul 28, 2021 11:18:49 #
My husband and I grind our own hamburger meat (mix of chuck, bacon ends and sometimes sirloin) and since we like big, juicy, half-pound burgers (yes, we weigh them on a digital scale), I bake our own hamburger buns which can stand up to the juicy burgers. Other buns disintegrated under our hamburgers, thus the need to bake our own - problem solved! And they're delicious, too!

Unbaked buns
Baked - buns may be a tad heavy-handed with the sesame seeds
Grilled buns with burgers, double cheese for the husband (Steve)
Served with our favorite pepper potato chips, wine for me, a beer for Steve
So thick, must use party-picks to hold the burger together ;-)

Beautiful preparation and presentation, Irene. Great idea grinding the bacon ends with the beef. Your home made rolls bring it all together. Definitely a bigger and better burger.

That is a great series of photos! Good for you for making the buns. I really like the close up of your burger in the last picture.

Beautifully photographed and presented Irene. Those rolls look delicious. Is that a family recipe, or one you found?

The hamburger bun recipe is one I found on line, by Chef John with allrecipes.com; the link is below:
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/233652/homemade-hamburger-buns/
It’s a fun recipe. The major change I made is using my bread machine to make the dough through the first rise. Just dump all the ingredients into the machine - I do heat the water to 105°. And I substitute 3-tblsps of oil for the melted butter, easier and no difference in taste (IMO).
There is a video included with the recipe that I encourage anyone making the buns for the first time, to watch.
As Chef John says,"if you don't sprinkle sesame seeds on, you can't call them hamburger buns, they're just "buns"
