Burger bun — 66 burger recipes

bakery · 66 recipes

The bun is not packaging, and 46 recipes here specify a type for a reason. A bun has to hold sauce, juice and fat for the several minutes it takes to eat a burger without turning to paste, and it has to compress under a bite instead of squeezing the filling out. Toasting the cut faces in butter or beef fat is the single cheapest improvement available: it creates a barrier against moisture and adds a layer of texture. Squash the bun slightly before assembling and a tall burger becomes possible to eat.
