I tried this sorte to change from the pulled porc I usually do.

The buns - now it’s a no sweat step

Prepped the meatballs and all based on custom 80/20 mix of porc and beef

And grilled over the flame

All in all very good with a custom pickles / câpres / mayo sauce.

    I am very used to text being under the image it goes with (textbook, wikipedia, news articles), so when i saw the image of pale balls and read that you were prepping meatballs i was like 😧

    Those do look great, though.

      My autocorrect is going to be my end eventually… Sherlock below is mostly correct I’m indeed native French speaking though not from France :)

      Bun making is surprisingly easy - much more so than achieving actually good bread.

      I’m starting to agree that the one big factor are the ingredients quality. And a kitchen robot since 8 minutes is rather long to work the prep.

      Long story short it’s simply mixing mixing the ingredients for 8 mins;

      • 500 g T45/T55 flour
      • 8 g salt
      • 25 g sugar
      • 11gr of baker’s yeast
      • 1 egg
      • 200 ml milk at about 40 degrees c
      • 60 ml water
      • 60 g softened butter - not melted butter though

      Then rest 1h30 under a clean cloth

      Then I portion in 100gr balls. I form them and then squiiiiish them for burgers so that they don’t get too spherical.

      I let them rest again 30 minutes so they rise back

      I glaze them with a 60/40 mix of egg yolk and water and sprinkle generously sesame seeds

      And then it’s 14 mins in the oven at 180*c

      It’s quite important then to let them rest on the oven rack for a while afterwards. At least 15 mins so you can cut them without tearing them.

      Surprisingly they keep very well for a few days and you can freeze them and unfreeze them without noticeable loss of quality.

        Thank you! I’m always dissatisfied with store bought buns and it never occurred to me to make my own.

      I would say they’re French as I think they spell it porc. But the ESL syntax doesn’t sound right for french. I’m going to say Italian?

      Edit: Checked post history…should’ve gone with my instinct. Il est Francais!

      Actually this time they are mayonnaise based…

      One is a hack ; mayo, pickle juice and precisely 3 drop of liquid smoke The other one is the same sauce as in the burgers themselves with mayo, pickles and some of their juices, capers, smoked paprika and chives.

      I got complaints about abusing of Greek yoghurt as of late ;-)

    Hank Hill would lecture you like you’re a drug dealer.

    Peggy and Bobby would come over for meals weekly, but in disguise. They don’t want Hank to see.
