POTATO BUN RECIPE



Potato Bun Recipe image

Provided by Becky Spoon

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about one large baking potato or 2 medium)
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups bread flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp instant yeast
1 cup water you cooked the potatoes in
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs, beaten
sesame seeds, optional

Steps:

  • Cover the potatoes with water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low; simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer 1 cup of the potato water to a bowl then drain the potatoes and return them to the hot saucepan. Over low heat, cook the potatoes while shaking to remove the surface moisture, about 1 minute.
  • Process the potatoes with a food mill or ricer (or mash well with a masher - they should be very smooth) into the saucepan. Measure out 1 cup of potatoes, add to a medium bowl and mix in the butter until melted. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the sugar, yeast, and the potato water. Allow the mixture to become frothy. If it doesn't your yeast is not good and start over. With the machine running and using the dough hook add the potatoes, salt and one egg. After combined start adding the flour, a little at a time, until the dough is soft but still a little sticky. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes. Remove the dough and shape into a ball. Lightly grease the mixer bowl and return the dough to the bowl, coating it lightly in the oil. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm spot until almost doubled in volume, about 30-40 minutes. Very warm kitchens will require less time.Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, pat it into an 8-inch square, and cut the square into 9 equal pieces; separate the pieces and cover them loosely with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming on the top. Working with one at a time, roll the dough rounds into a tight balls and return them to the work surface under the plastic wrap; allow them to rest for 15 minutes.Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Firmly press each dough round into a 3 ½-inch disk, pushing out large pockets of air from the dough. Line the disks up on the baking sheets and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to proof at room temperature until almost doubled in size, another 30-40 minutes. While the dough proofs, preheat the oven to 425° F with the racks in the two center positions of the oven.In a small bowl, mix the remaining egg with a tablespoon of water. Lightly brush the tops of the dough rounds with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.Bake for 15-18 minutes, rotating pans halfway through the time from top to bottom and front to back, until the buns are a deep golden brown. Transfer the pans to wire racks to cool for 5 minutes then transfer the buns to the racks to cool completely before slicing.adapted from Cook's Illustrated

HOMEMADE POTATO BUNS



Homemade Potato Buns image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     side-dish

Time 4h20m

Yield 8 buns

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large russet potato (about 12 ounces/340 grams), peeled
4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons (42 grams) honey
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 large eggs
One 2 1/4-teaspoon packet instant yeast
3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Neutral oil, for oiling the bowl and plastic wrap
Poppy seeds, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Put the potato in a medium saucepan with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 18 minutes. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup potato cooking water. Let the water cool until lukewarm (90 to 100 degrees F).
  • Use a ricer or food mill to puree the warm potato into the bowl of a stand mixer. (You can also mash with a masher; just make sure to get the potatoes very smooth.) Add the butter, honey and salt to the warm potatoes and stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Add 1 egg, the yeast and the lukewarm cooking water. Mix with the dough hook on low speed to combine.
  • Add 3 1/2 cups of the flour and mix on low to combine. Knead on medium-high speed, adding up to 1/4 cup more flour, if needed, to make a smooth, slightly sticky dough that forms a loose ball on the dough hook, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn the dough onto a floured countertop and knead a few times to make a smooth ball. Oil a large bowl, add the ball and turn to coat. Cover loosely and let rise until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Punch the dough down. Dust a clean, flat work surface with flour. Turn out the dough and cut it into 8 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, pinch the dough under itself to form a ball. With the pinched side down, cup your hands under the dough and rotate on the counter to form a smooth ball. Use one hand to roll the ball into a 4-inch-long oval roll. Place on a lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining balls of dough. Cover with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let rise until light and airy looking, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Place an oven rack in the lower and upper third positions. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • When the dough has completed the second rise, beat the remaining egg with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl and gently brush the rolls with the egg wash. Sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake, rotating from top to bottom and back to front halfway through, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Rolls can be made a day ahead. For longer storage, wrap and freeze.

HOMEMADE HAMBURGER BUNS



Homemade Hamburger Buns image

I've gotten a thousand request for these. We're going to make our own, and not only are these going to be the perfect shape, they're going to taste way better than anything that comes out of a plastic bag. The total time takes almost 4 hours, but the actual amount of work involved is maybe 10 minutes.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Rolls and Buns

Time 3h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast (such as Fleischmann's ActiveDry Yeast®)
1 pound all-purpose flour, or as needed - divided
1 cup warm water (105 degrees F/41 degrees C)
1 large egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or as needed

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.

BIG SOFT HAMBURGER BUNS



Big Soft Hamburger Buns image

These homemade buns have a wonderful light-textured soft interior and a delicate crust thanks to the inclusion of both mashed potatoes and cottage cheese. They are very easy to make in a KitchenAid stand mixer and so much better than store-bought buns! The recipe is from Sunset Breads (1995)

Provided by Debs Recipes

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 2h40m

Yield 9-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup instant mashed potatoes
1 cup boiling water
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
4 -4 1/2 cups flour (I use part whole wheat flour)

Steps:

  • Stir together potatoes and boiling water; allow to cool at least 5-10 minutes; meanwhile, sprinkle yeast over warm water; let stand about 5 minutes until foamy.
  • Stir together potato mixture, yeast mixture, cottage cheese, sugar, oil, egg, and salt; gradually stir in (KitchenAid stand mixer on low speed #1) flour until a soft dough comes together to form a smooth ball.
  • Knead 9-10 minutes (in KitchenAid stand mixer on medium speed #2) until dough is smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky; add more flour, one tablespoon at a time during the kneading process, if necessary to reduce stickiness.
  • Place dough into oiled bowl; cover bowl and place in a warm place; allow dough to rise (about 1 1/2 hours) until doubled.
  • Punch down dough and knead a few strokes to release air; divide dough into 9 (or 12 portions if you want to end up with not-quite-so-large buns) equal portions; with lightly oiled or floured hands, shape each dough portion into a ball, gently pulling and tucking top surface under until smooth.
  • Place formed buns 2 or more inches apart, tucked sides down, on a greased baking sheet; cover and allow buns to rise (about 30-45 minutes) until puffy.
  • Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes, or until buns are light golden-brown; remove from oven and transfer to cooling rack.
  • NOTE: Makes nine 4 1/2 to 5-inch buns or twelve 3 1/2 to 4-inch buns which, once cooled, may be stored airtight in a plastic bag and refrigerated or frozen if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your hamburgers and potato buns. Look for fresh, high-quality beef, potatoes, and other ingredients.
  • Season your meat well: Don't be afraid to season your hamburger patties generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook your hamburgers over medium heat: Cooking your hamburgers over medium heat will help to prevent them from becoming dry and overcooked. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Toast your potato buns: Toasting your potato buns will help to make them crispy and flavorful. You can toast them in a toaster, oven, or on a grill.
  • Add your favorite toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for hamburgers and potato buns. Some popular choices include cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and ketchup.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and effort, you can make delicious hamburgers and potato buns at home that will rival anything you can find at a restaurant. So next time you're craving a burger, give one of these recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
