The Very Best Ever Paleo Hamburger Buns Food

BEST PALEO BURGERS {WITH BUNS & BURGER SAUCE!}

Steps:

• Have the burger buns baked, cooled and sliced before beginning.*
• Cook the bacon to preference first and set aside. To make the sauce, whisk together all ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined. Adjust any seasonings to taste and set aside.
• Shape your burgers. It's important not to overwork the meat while shaping so the burgers stay juicy! I don't like adding much more than sea salt and pepper to my burgers - a little minced garlic is an optional add-in. Shape 5 patties (1/4 lb each) so they're about 1/4-1/2" thicker around the perimeter than the inside - this will help prevent the burgers from puffing up in the middle. Mine were about 3/4" on the outside. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper as you shape them.
• The burgers can be grilled or pan-fried. Preheat your grill to high heat or skillet (or grill pan) to high heat and brush with oil. Cook for a total of 5 minutes for medium rare and 6-7 minutes for medium. The total time will depend on the exact thickness of your patties and the heat of your stovetop or grill. Use a meat thermometer to be more exact about the timing for your desired doneness.
• Time to layer your burgers! Start off with a slather of sauce on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, bacon, the burger patty, and more sauce. Feel free to layer the burgers however you like, but I recommend using the sauce on both the top and bottom buns.
• Serve the burgers right away and enjoy!

5 MINUTE FLUFFY FLOURLESS PALEO HAMBURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a food processor combine all the ingredients for the hamburger buns. Puree until the dough is smooth.
• Divide the dough into four equal parts and shape into a round ball (if the dough is sticking, coat your hands in water and then shape the dough). Pat the round buns down into a dome shape. Brush the buns with egg wash and then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake on 400F for about 22-25 minutes until golden brown.

HOMEMADE HAMBURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
• Place yeast into bowl of a large stand mixer; whisk in 1/2 cup flour and warm water until smooth. Let stand until mixture is foamy, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Whisk 1 egg, melted butter, sugar, and salt thoroughly into yeast mixture. Add remaining flour (about 3 cups).
• Fit a dough hook onto stand mixer and knead the dough on low speed until soft and sticky, 5 to 6 minutes. Scrape sides if needed. Poke and prod the dough with a silicone spatula; if large amounts of dough stick to the spatula, add a little more flour.
• Transfer dough onto a floured work surface; dough will be sticky and elastic but not stick to your fingers. Form the dough lightly into a smooth, round shape, gently tucking loose ends underneath.
• Wipe out stand mixer bowl, drizzle olive oil into the bowl, and turn dough over in the bowl several times to coat surface thinly with oil. Cover bowl with aluminum foil. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
• Transfer dough to a floured work surface and pat to flatten bubbles and form into a slightly rounded rectangle of dough about 5x10 inches and about 1/2 inch thick. Dust dough lightly with flour if needed. Cut dough into 8 equal pieces. Form each piece into a round shape, gently tucking ends underneath as before.
• Use your hands to gently pat and stretch the dough rounds into flat disc shapes about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange buns about 1/2 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Dust buns very lightly with flour. Drape a piece of plastic wrap over the baking sheet (do not seal tightly). Let buns rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat 1 egg with milk in a small bowl, using a fork, until mixture is thoroughly combined. Very gently and lightly brush tops of buns with egg wash without deflating the risen dough. Sprinkle each bun with sesame seeds.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on top, 15 to 17 minutes. Buns will stick together slightly where they touch. Let cool completely, tear the buns apart, and slice in half crosswise to serve.
