Black Burger Buns Recipe

About Hamburger and Black Burger Buns Recipe:

A hamburger (or burger for short) is a food, typically considered a sandwich, consisting of one or more cooked patties—usually ground meat, typically beef—placed inside a sliced bread roll or bun. The patty may be pan fried, grilled, smoked or flame broiled. Hamburgers are often served with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, bacon, or chilis; condiments such as ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish, or a “special sauce“, often a variation of Thousand Island dressing; and are frequently placed on sesame seed buns. A hamburger topped with cheese is called a cheeseburger.^[1]

The term burger can also be applied to the meat patty on its own, especially in the United Kingdom, where the term patty is rarely used, or the term can even refer simply to ground beef. Since the term hamburger usually implies beef, for clarity burger may be prefixed with the type of meat or meat substitute used, as in beef burger, turkey burger, bison burger, portobello burger, or veggie burger.

Hamburgers are typically sold at fast-food restaurants, diners, and specialty and high-end restaurants. There are many international and regional variations of hamburgers. (Black Burger Buns)

Etymology and terminology

The term hamburger originally derives from Hamburg, Germany‘s second-largest city. Hamburger in German is the demonym of Hamburg, similar to frankfurter and wiener, names for other meat-based foods and demonyms of the cities of Frankfurt and Vienna (in German Wien) respectively.

By back-formation, the term “burger” eventually became a self-standing word that is associated with many different types of sandwiches, similar to a (ground meat) hamburger, but made of different meats such as buffalo in the buffalo burger, venison, kangaroo, chicken, turkey, elk, lamb or fish like salmon in the salmon burger, but even with meatless sandwiches as is the case of the veggie burger.

History

As versions of the meal have been served for over a century, its origin remains ambiguous. The popular book The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy by Hannah Glasse included a recipe in 1758 as “Hamburgh sausage”, which suggested to serve it “roasted with toasted bread under it”. A similar snack was also popular in Hamburg by the name “Rundstück warm” (“bread roll warm”) in 1869 or earlier, and supposedly eaten by many emigrants on their way to America, but may have contained roasted beefsteak rather than Frikadeller. (Black Burger Buns)

Hamburg steak is reported to have been served between two pieces of bread on the Hamburg America Line, which began operations in 1847. Each of these may mark the invention of the Hamburger, and explain the name. (Black Burger Buns)

There is a reference to a “Hamburg steak” as early as 1884 in the Boston Journal.^{[OED, under “steak”]} On July 5, 1896, the Chicago Daily Tribune made a highly specific claim regarding a “hamburger sandwich” in an article about a “Sandwich Car”: “A distinguished favorite, only five cents, is Hamburger steak sandwich, the meat for which is kept ready in small patties and ‘cooked while you wait’ on the gasoline range.” (Black Burger Buns)

What is a Black Burger Bun Made of?

These black hamburger buns are made from pretty much the standard ingredients you’d use for baking. Prepare flour, yeast, some eggs, salt and some sugar, heat the milk, a slice of butter and you’re ready to go. And of course, a special material that everyone will want from you. (Black Burger Buns)

So what is this mysterious ingredient that gives it this weird black color? The color originally comes from squid ink or cuttlefish ink, which dyes all other materials black. Even white flour will turn black, as this ink has a stable black color that will not fade during the cooking process. (Black Burger Buns)

However, the black color may come from some other components. You can use bamboo charcoal or coconut charcoal or more commonly known as activated charcoal. This type of charcoal is safe for human use, but there are some downsides you should be aware of as it can affect your digestion. (Black Burger Bun)

What is The Taste of Squid Ink?

If you think that squid ink will taste salty, then you are quite right, reminding you of seafood, that squid ink is salty and looks like fish food. However, when you add it to the dough, that flavor will not dominate and will not spoil the taste of the general black burger bun. (Black Burger Buns)

The only thing you need to remember when using squid ink is to pull down the salt you intend to use with the dough. This is important as you will get enough saltiness from the squid ink, you should not use half a teaspoon of salt for this recipe.

Ingredients

• 3 cups of bread flour
• 7g of active dry yeast
• 3 tablespoons of sugar
• ½ teaspoon of salt
• 8 tablespoons of softened butter
• 3 whole eggs
• 1 cup ml of lukewarm milk
• 16g / 0.56oz of squid (cuttlefish) ink
• Eggwash or melted butter
• Black Sesame seeds (Black Burger Buns)

Preparation – Step By Step

With all the ingredients ready, it’s time to start recreating this black burger bun recipe. Make sure you take the time and follow the steps closely to achieve the best possible result. Follow the measurements as well, as they are key to making the best dough. (Black Burger Buns)

Step 1 – Prepare The Ingredients

The first thing you should do is warm the milk. You don’t want it to be hot as the yeast doesn’t like the hot liquid next to it. Add 7 g of active dry yeast and a tablespoon of sugar, mix well and let it activate. Meanwhile, add 3 cups of sifted bread flour to the mixer bowl. (Black Burger Buns)

Add two tablespoons of sugar and ½ tablespoon of salt to the flour. Start mixing with the flat beater and prepare the dough hook for later. Begin adding the softened butter while mixing the flour, salt and sugar. Gradually add the butter to ensure it mixes well with the flour and mix until crumbly. (Black Burger Bun)

Step 2 – Mix The Dough

The next step would be to crack three eggs into a separate bowl and add squid ink to it. Mix well and add the egg and squid ink mixture to the mixing bowl. After adding the eggs and squid ink, add the activated yeast to the flour. Mix until everything is combined. (Black Burger Buns)

At this point, you want to replace the whisk and replace it with the dough hook. Continue mixing at medium speed until the mixture becomes a smooth dough. This part should take at least ten minutes. You will notice that a smooth dough is formed. (Black Burger Bun)

Step 3 – Rising The Dough

Put some flour on the work surface and transfer the dough onto it. Work the dough using your fingers to push it from the outside of the dough to the middle. Once you have formed a smooth round dough, place it in the bowl coated with a little olive oil and let it rise until the dough has doubled in size. (Black Burger Buns)

It is important to cover the dough with cling film or cheesecloth to maintain the temperature and help the dough rise sufficiently. It will take at least two hours to double its size. You can put it in the oven with the lights on to warm up enough for the dough to rise. (Black Burger Buns)

Step 4 – Working The Dough

When the dough has doubled in size, use your knuckles to suppress the air. Transfer the dough to the cake board that you sprinkled with some flour. Gently bend the dough to form a log shape and divide into ten to twelve pieces, depending on the size of the bun you want. (Black Burger Buns)

Step 5 – Shape Your Black Burger Dough

Form each piece of dough into a ball by pushing the outer ends towards the middle. This will help you create round and even buns. The next step is to prepare the baking sheets and cover them with parchment paper. Arrange the dough balls on the tray, spaced apart.

Step 6 – Leave Your Dough To Rest

Cover the buns with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 60 minutes or until doubled. Meanwhile, prepare the egg wash using one whole egg and two tablespoons of water. Mix well with a fork. Brush the scones lightly with the egg wash. You can also use melted butter instead of egg wash.

Step 7 – Bake Your Black Burger Buns

Do not use too much egg juice to avoid discoloration of the scones. Top the buns with some black sesame seeds or regular sesame seeds. Preheat the oven to 375ºF / 190ºC and bake the muffins for 15 to 18 minutes. The time depends on the size of your buns.

Step 8 – Cool Down Your Buns

When the pies are cooked, take them out of the oven. The black color will be well preserved and your buns will be smooth and shiny. Put the donuts on the cooling rack and let cool. These black burger buns are ready to serve when they are cool enough.
