MINI BURGER BUNS RECIPE BY TASTY



Mini Burger Buns Recipe by Tasty image

If you're looking to go the extra mile and make hamburger buns from scratch, try out this recipe! It's easy and the results are impressive. After the buns come out of the oven, we brush them with melted butter to make them even more delicious. We turned these into mini buns, but if you want to make regular-sizes buns, just divide the dough into 8 equal portions and bake for 15-18 minutes instead.

CACIO PEPE STEAMED BUNS RECIPE BY TASTY



Cacio Pepe Steamed Buns Recipe by Tasty image

Joe Sasto takes inspiration from his Italian roots to transform a traditional bao bun into an incredible cheese and pepper-filled delight. He calls it a "garlic knot that's steamed, fluffy, soft and delicious."

Provided by Nichi Hoskins

Categories     Sides

Time 4h25m

Yield 16 buns

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon kosher salt
⅓ cup sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 cup whole milk, room temperature, plus tablespoons
½ cup heavy cream, room temperature, plus 2 tablespoons
1 large egg, room temperature
1 cup all purpose flour
3 cups bread flour
nonstick cooking spray, or olive oil, for greasing
1 cup provolone cheese
1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 ½ cups whole milk ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper, or to taste
1 pinch kosher salt
1 stick unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, grated
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • In a small bowl or container, whisk together the salt, sugar, and yeast. In a medium bowl or container, whisk together the milk and cream. Add the sugar mixture and egg to the milk mixture and stir to combine.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the all-purpose flour and bread flour.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix on medium speed for 15-18 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until the dough is smooth and supple and is pulling away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Transfer the dough to a large greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit in a warm place for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size. Clean the stand mixer bowl.
  • While the dough is resting, make the filling: Dice the Provolone and fresh mozzarella and add to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, along with the Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, ricotta, ground peppercorns, and salt. Mix on low speed until well combined, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • After the dough has rested, punch down to release the natural gases. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and divide into 16 70-gram portions.
  • Shape each dough portion into a ball by rolling on the surface, gathering excess dough toward the bottom to keep the top taut. Arrange the balls seam-side down on the surface or a baking sheet and cover with a damp towel. Let rest until doubled in size again, 30-45 minutes.
  • While the buns are resting, make the garlic butter. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the parsley. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Working one at a time, flatten the edges of a bun and make a divot in the center. Fill the divot with 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture. Pull the edges of the dough around the filling and seal the bun. Repeat with the remaining buns and filling.
  • Arrange the buns seam-side up on the surface. Cover again and let rest for 40 minutes, until risen again.
  • Fill a large pot ⅓ of the way with water and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Line a steamer basket, or as many as you have, with parchment paper and lightly grease with nonstick spray. Working in batches as needed, add the buns to the basket, making sure they don't touch each other.
  • Cover the basket and carefully transfer to the pot. Cover the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, until the buns have expanded and the dough is cooked through. Repeat with the remaining buns if needed.
  • Remove the buns from the steamer basket and brush with the garlic butter.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

PULLED PORK-STUFFED MILK BUNS RECIPE BY TASTY



Pulled Pork-Stuffed Milk Buns Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: water, whole milk, bread flour, bread flour, sugar, salt, instant yeast, whole milk, unsalted butter, large egg, vegetable oil, pulled pork, large egg

Provided by Julie Klink

Categories     Dinner

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons whole milk
2 tablespoons bread flour
3 ¼ cups bread flour, divided
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 cup whole milk, warm to the touch
¼ cup unsalted butter, 1/2 stick, melted
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 ¼ cups pulled pork
1 large egg, mixed with 1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Make the starter: In a small pot over low heat, combine the water, milk, and flour. Stir continuously until a loose paste forms. Remove the pot from the heat and transfer the mixture to a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the starter, and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until cool.
  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, add 2½ cups (300 g) of flour, the sugar, salt, and yeast, and whisk to combine.
  • In a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, egg, butter, and chilled starter mixture.
  • Gradually pour the milk mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, using your hands to combine. The dough will be very sticky at this point. If the dough is too wet to knead, gradually add ¾ cup (90 g) of flour, a few tablespoons at a time, until you can knead the dough into a loose ball. Continue to knead the dough for 20 minutes.
  • Cover your hands with the vegetable oil and form the dough into a taut ball. Place the dough into a clean large bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 60-90 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a clean surface and press out to a 9-inch (23 cm) square. Divide the dough into 9 equal squares.
  • Flatten a portion of dough into a circle. Place 2 tablespoons of pulled pork in the center. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal. Gently roll the dough into a ball and place in a greased 9-inch (23 cm) square baking dish. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cover with a towel and let rise for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Brush the buns with the egg and milk mixture.
  • Bake the buns for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let the buns sit in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Invert the buns onto a serving plate, and pull apart.
  • Enjoy!

TASTY BUNS



TASTY BUNS image

Categories     Game     Bread

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups all-purpose flour
2 packages (.25 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Stir together 2 cups flour and the yeast. In a separate bowl, heat milk, water, oil, sugar and salt to lukewarm in microwave. Add all at once to the flour mixture, and beat until smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Mix in enough flour to make a soft dough, 2 to 3 cups. Mix well. Dust a flat surface with flour, turn dough out onto floured surface, and let rest under bowl for about 10 minutes.
  • Shape dough into 12 slightly flat balls, and place on greased baking sheet to rise until doubled in size.
  • Bake in a preheated 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right flour: All-purpose flour is a good option for most buns, but you can also use bread flour for a chewier bun or cake flour for a softer bun.
  • Activate the yeast properly: If you're using active dry yeast, you'll need to activate it in warm water before using it. Be sure to follow the instructions on the package of yeast you're using.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the buns their structure. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs time to rise before it can be baked. Place the dough in a warm place, such as a turned-off oven, for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Bake the buns at a high temperature: Buns should be baked at a high temperature, such as 375 degrees Fahrenheit, for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Buns are a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a bun that everyone will love. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced baker, be sure to follow these tips for making perfect buns every time.
