Description:
This recipe, inspired by Kelly Canfield’s Jalapeno Bread, has evolved into delightful burger buns through experimentation and ingredient tweaks. Perfect for those who appreciate a bun that enhances the flavors of a good burger, these Jalapeno Burger Buns are a must-try. You can also adjust the size to make smaller buns if desired.
Ingredients:
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 pimientos
- 4 black olives
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
- 20 ounces frozen bread dough, thawed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Allow the frozen dough to rise overnight in the fridge (if using fresh, let it rise until doubled in size). |
| 2 | Knead the dough in your mixer for 5 minutes (or by hand for 10 minutes). |
| 3 | Add all the ingredients to the dough and knead for an additional 10 minutes. |
| 4 | Cut the dough into 14 equal pieces (adjust for smaller buns if desired). |
| 5 | The dough may be slightly moist due to the added ingredients, so use a little flour on your hands to form the buns. Avoid using too much flour, as it may hinder the rising process. Place the formed buns on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with vegetable oil. |
| 6 | For optimal results, bake the buns on a baking stone, covered with parchment paper and lightly sprayed with vegetable oil. Cover the buns and place them in a warm spot to rise until doubled in size. An oven with the light on provides a warm, draft-free environment for rising. This may take 1-2 hours depending on the dough. |
| 7 | Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). |
| 8 | Bake the buns in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. |
| 9 | Transfer the baked buns to a cooling rack. |
| 10 | Once cooled, the buns can be stored in the freezer for future use. |
These Jalapeno Burger Buns are not only flavorful but also versatile. Whether paired with a juicy burger or enjoyed on their own, they are sure to be a hit at any gathering. Plus, they freeze well, making them a convenient option for busy days. Give this recipe a try and elevate your burger game!
