Buns

Hi everyone!! If, as I am, you’re often challenged to be mum or dad of the year, this recipe will be for you!!

My son was having friends at home, and I left him the choice of the menu. Guess what… Burgers !!

And bam! Here I go for homemade buns!

Obviously I could have found a bakery making buns, I could even have gotten some at my supermarket (I’m not judging here, when you don’t have time, you don’t have time!). But homemade buns are so much better!!

This recipe isn’t complicated at all. If you have already made brioches or breads, you’ll see that there is very little amount of work here. Your food processor with its kneading accessory will do all the hard tasks, you will just need to be careful about the timing since the recipe requires two rising times.

After that, it’s just a piece of cake!

This recipe is for 10 buns, depending on how many burgers you’re planing to make, you can freeze a few for the next time. That’s what I always do… You freeze your buns once they have just cooled down and on D day you leave them to defrost at room temperature, and put them in the oven 2 minutes at 150 degrees. They will be good as fresh !

You get it, you can prepare them in advance, especially if you’re planing them as mini burgers for a buffet ! In such case, I recommend a different shaping method: spread the dough after the first rise with 1 cm thickness and make your buns with a round cutter.

Then it’s up to you to fill them as you wish!

The utensils:

A food processor with kneading accessory,

A baking mat or a baking sheet

And a brush to spread the egg on the buns.

That’s all!!
