Burger recipe made easy – prepare buns and patties yourself
Burger Buns, also dieBread rollsabove and below the meat, play an important role in a really good burger. You can make these yourself so that they are soft enough to absorb the juices of the meat without getting soggy. Since these require a little more time to rise and bake, it makes sense to start preparing them.
helpful cooking tips
To make the rolls healthier, the flour can be replaced with spelled flour. For example, instead of 500g wheat flour type 550 –200 g spelled flour type 1050 +Use 100 g spelled flour type 630 + 100 g wholemeal spelled flour. Add baking malt to support the dough fermentation.

Homemade recipeBread rolls
Ingredients for 10 rolls:
- 500g flour type 550 or optionally replace with spelled flour
- 1/2 cube fresh yeast / 2 tsp dry yeast
- 200ml warm water
- 40g sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp milk
- 80g liquid butter
- 1 No
Mix the warm water with the milk and sugar, stir and let stand for about 10 minutes. Then put the yeast broth with the other ingredients in a bowl until you get a sticky dough. This works by hand, but also works quite well with a hand mixer. Cover with foil and let the dough rise in a warm place (20-30 degrees at room temperature) for about 1 hour until it doubles in volume.
Knead the dough again briefly and vigorously. Sprinkle the worktop neatly with flour and begin to shape the buns. The resulting mixture should make about 10 equally sized rolls, 80 grams each. Shape by hand into round dough flats about 10-12 cm in diameter. Arrange them on a baking tray lined with baking paper with enough space between them, cover with a cloth and let them rise for another 15-20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180° top/bottom heat (160° fan oven) and prepare a cup of water aside. If desired, you can brush the rolls with a mixture of water, egg and milk and sprinkle with sesame or oatmeal. Now place the baking tray in the middle rack and right before you close the oven, shake the glass of water onto the bottom of the preheated oven. This little trick achieves baking at high humidity and results in a thin, fine crust.
After 10 minutes of baking, open the oven briefly to let the steam escape and then let it bake for another 10-12 minutes. Once cooled, the hamburger buns can be stored for about 1-2 days or frozen. If you wish, you can briefly toast the interfaces before consumption.
the good beef
The heart of the burger is undoubtedly the good meat, which is also called 'patty'. It should be pure, fresh minced meat that is prepared either on the grill or in the pan, or preferably baked in the oven. A good meat for patty has around 20% fat content. Go for the expensive oneBeef filletDon't, otherwise the patty will be far too dry. It's best to trust your butcher and ask him to mince the piece of meat fresh.
Recipefor delicious patties
After the fresh ground beef is obtained, it is seasoned. Mix 2 tablespoons of good balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped rosemary or thyme, 2-3 finely chopped garlic cloves, salt and pepper with the meat and form into patties. Recently there have been special burger presses that make all the pieces the same thickness and size. If such a tool is not available, one should strive for this uniform shape. A kitchen scale can also be used to help divide the minced meat into equal pieces.
forGrill or pan
Fry the formed patty in the pan over medium heat for about 2-4 minutes on each side. Now top it with a piece of cheese and bake in the preheated oven until the cheese melts. The exact time depends on the size of the patty and the heat. However, the general rule for beef is that it should be pink in the middle so that it tastes delicious and juicy.
