Hamburger Buns?


amberlynn

Recommended Posts

amberlynn Contributor

My son will ONLY eat hamburgers if they're on a bun... I attempted buns tonite, but they were a fail. They tasted OK, but fell apart in seconds. I remembered the xanthan gum too, perhaps I need more of it?? They were moist, more like buttermilk biscuits (which is what I'd meant to make this MORNING for biscuits and gravy, lol!!).

I'm not intimidated in the kitchen by any means, lol - I'm determined to be able to make whatever I want!! But these biscuits are making me nutso, lol!! <_<

So, here's what I did... I had to work with what I had on hand cause we have no grocery money right now...

1 1/2 cups Brown Rice Flour w/ 1/2 cup corn starch

1/2 tsp xanthan gum

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

2 T brown sugar

dash of salt

1 T baking soda

2 eggs (saved about 1/2 an egg to brush on top of dough)

splash of apple cider vinegar

2/3 cup of rice milk... give or take..

Like I said, they turned out like buttermilk biscuits, what you'd usually have with biscuits and gravy! Nice and flaky, but not hamburger bun material, lol...

Help?? :rolleyes:

I'd love some tips on hamburger buns, too.

My mom bought me one of those muffin-top pans for my birthday, and I guess people make hamburger buns in those. I used the gluten-free pantry bread mix. I got some decent rolls out of it, but they really weren't shaped right for buns. The dough is too sticky to roll into balls, and it doesn't go into a smooth shape on its own. They were just too bumpy/lumpy to be able to slice neatly with a knife for sandwiches or hamburgers.

If anybody has mastered the art of hamburger buns, please share!! In detail!

I would love some tips on a good hamburger bun too! I took a Kinnickkinck bun (spelling ?) to Five Guys and it was horrible! Too dry! There has to be a better hamburger bun out there! Went to Tommy Bahama's restaurant in Sarasota, FL on Friday and ordered their cheeseburger without the bun and it was sooooo good, I didn't even care that there wasn't a bun. I could go bunless :rolleyes: for the rest of my life if everyone made a buger like Tommy Bahama's!

I bet you could have a really smooth top if you dip a spoon in water and smooth the top of the batter with the back of the wet spoon.

If you don't have rings...try folding 12" foil into a strip and tape the ends together and spray, I use it for english nuffins and it works great. I save them in a ziploc bag and reuse several times.

I got this recipe from this website - sorry I don't remember who posted it first.

This recipe looks kind of weird, but it was all stuff I keep on hand, so I tried it. I thought it was surprisingly good. And it is great to be able to make a single, fresh bun.

You can make this recipe in about 5 minutes total. I use a 5-inch round Corelle dish. When you take out the bun, the bottom will be a little soggy, so I usually turn it upside down and put in a heated toaster oven for another couple of minutes.

Microwave sandwich buns

1 large egg

2 Tbs. brown rice flour

1 Tbs. almond meal

1 Tbs. flaxseed meal

1/2 tsp. baking powder

3/4 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. cocoa powder

shake of salt

Spray your microwave dish with non-stick spray.

Crack egg into dish and stir with a fork until it's well mixed. Add all other ingredients and stir well. Cook in microwave on high for 90 seconds.

      Once you have removed the inflammatories, it is time to focus on the deficiencies.  A lot of them not specific to Celiac, but deficiency in them elicits symptoms associated with Celiac. According to research, celiac disease tends to be more prevalent in urban areas compared to rural areas.  Same is true with airborne viruses.  Because urban residents get less sunlight.  To top it off we use lotion and gear to block the little light there is.  This compremises the vitamin D blood level.  A virus attack further lowers vitamin D and the immune system loses control over the Celiac genes and they go into acute symptoms. 40% to 75% depending depending on country are vitamin D deficient. 50% do not eat the Adequit Intake for potassium (4700 mg a day) 90% do n ot eat the Adequit Intake for Choline. Iodine intake since 1970 had dropped 50%.  The western diet is typically excessive in omega 6 fatty acid compared to omega 3.  Above 14:1 by some estimates.  So they sell us expensive, processed oils to compensate.  Anyway after 10 years gluten free myself,  here is what has helped me in just the past few years; once I realized I was at a healing plateau and just GFD would not cut it, and reallized my deficiencies.  Most recently, I started a statin which I only took for two weeks before it started to cripple me.   Got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid to 2000 and am more flexible now Plus HDL went 29 to 44, eGFR from 55 to 79. I also learned if the pharmacist gets a prescription for Niacin that it is dealer's choice whether you get Nicotinic Acid or Niacinimide.  And it comes out of a regular vitamin manufacturer.   "likely deficiencies and what I take to boost my intake (I get anorexic at the drop of a hat so I take them to keep me stable):  the ones that helped me the most noticibly Was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Nicotinic Acid - increase capillary blood flow, lower cholesterol. I recently started 2000 mg a day instead of a statin which I cannot tolerate. I the first month my HDL went from 29 to 44. eGFR (kidney function) jumped from 55 ti 75. It also has make my whole body less stiff. The ichy, flushing with the first few doses goes away. The non flush forms of vitamin B3 do not work. It is the relaxing of the capillaries and tendons. 500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation Whole Milk Vanilla yogurt to which I add 100 grams of raspberrys, black berries and blueberries has lots of probiotics and makes my tummy and body happy. Red Bull has sugar (not high fructose corn syrup) and the vitamins (B2,3,5,6 need to metabolize to ATP energy and Taurine as an antioxident). It is a good source of energy for me because my genetic hyperlipidemia does not process complex carbs well.

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!
