Toasted Burger Buns Food

BREAKFAST BURGER WITH FRENCH TOAST BUN

Steps:

• For the maple hot butter: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the maple syrup and hot sauce. Keep warm.
• For the burgers: Combine the sausage, beef, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a mixing bowl. Use your hands to divide the meat into four 4-ounce balls.
• Place a large cast-iron griddle over medium-high heat until warm, then add butter to grease the griddle. Place the balls of meat on half of the griddle and smash into round patties, about 4-inches wide, using a flat spatula. Fry until evenly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Lay a slice of cheese over each patty. Invert a metal bowl over the patties to melt the cheese until it fries into crispy lace on the sides of the burgers, about 2 minutes.
• For the French toast buns: Meanwhile, whisk together the cream, milk and eggs in a bowl. Soak the potato buns briefly in the mixture, about 20 seconds per half.
• Place on the other half of the griddle (you may have to do this in batches) and griddle until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and drizzle with the maple hot butter, reserving some for the patties.
• Place avocado slices on the bottom French toast buns, then top with cheesy patties. Drizzle the remaining spicy maple butter over the patties. Top with the remaining French toast buns and serve immediately.

HAMBURGER/HOTDOG BUN FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, beat together all the ingredients except the buns with a fork until well blended. Dip both sides of buns in mixture (note: do not soak in mixture; just dip to cover lightly!).
• Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Place the buns in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned. Serve warm with syrup.

TOASTED GARLIC HAMBURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup of the water, sugar and yeast in a large bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
• Let stand for 2-3 min or until yeast is dissolved.
• Add remaining 1/2 cup water, 1 Tbs of the oil and 1 cup of the flour.
• Beat at low speed until combined.
• Add the salt.
• With the mixer running, slowly add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough.
• Beat at medium low speed for 5 min or until smooth and elastic.
• Place in a greased medium sized bowl, turn over to grease both sides.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 min or until doubled in size.
• Gently punch down the dough to deflate.
• Place on a lightly floured surface.
• Divide the dough into 6 pieces.
• Form each piece inot a ball and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Cover with a towel and let stand for 3 minute.
• Flatten into 3 3/4-inch rounds.
• Cover again with a towel and let rest for 15 minute.
• Place another lightweight baking sheet or pan on top of the towel covering the buns. This will act as a weight, making the buns flatter and more even.
• Let the buns rise again for 25 min or until doubled in size. The dough should hold slight indentation when gently pressed.
• Meanwhile, heat the oven to 375ºF.
• With the side of a knife, mash the garlic with a dash of salt until a fine paste forms, or you can use a mini food processor.
• Place in a small cup and stir in the remaining 1 Tbs of olive oil.
• Brush the tops of the buns with the garlic mixture.
• Bake for 20 min or until golden brown and bottoms sound hollow when gently tapped.
• Cool completely on a wire rack.

TOASTED BURGER BUNS

Steps:

• I think the taste and the texture of buns are best when lightly toasted. To toast a bun on a grill, grill pan, or griddle, split the bun open, place it cut side down on the grill, and grill until light golden brown, about 10 seconds. Alternatively, you can place the split bun halves cut side up on a baking sheet and cook them under a preheated broiler until light golden brown, about 30 seconds. Keep a close eye on them and don't let them get too brown or else that texture will take on a life of its own and defeat the purpose of starting with a soft bun.
