This is one of the projects I've been working on for a while.
Ever since McDonald's switched out their buns I've wanted to get my hands on them as well, but you can't get them anywhere, obviously. So l've been trying to make my own.
These are not your average, heavy homemade buns.
Each of them weighs only 75 grams, they're incredibly airy and soft, exactly like the real Big Mac buns and I'm using the exact same ingredients (except for the glaze and the "Buttered Brioche" Flavor) as McDonald's Germany. I've had to come up with quite a few tricks to get a result like this.
After a year of research, calculating ingredients, nutritional values and a lot of trial and error when it comes to the preperation method, proofing and baking in a regular home oven, I'm finally so close to perfection.
This batch could needed a tiny bit more volume though, I should have let them proof for a bit longer, they're not quite as tall as I want them to be, but I'm still pretty pleased with the result. The color turned out amazing, I've never had a result where the color was so even.
Ask me anything if you like.

Holy shit.
> Ask me anything you’d like
When are you going to have the completed burger posted to /r/burgers? Be sure to include some pics of your buns
They look lush! 😋😋

TOAST IT! TOAST IT!
This is better than McDonald’s. McDonald’s isn’t homemade LOL
What are you using to get that shape?
beautiful buns 😭
Insaaaanne
Please tell me how you shape your buns, or if you’re using a specific pan or whatever it is that makes them look so perfect omg
Witchcraft! But like the good kind.

Damn, now you made me really think how they actually make them so light and soft. If you post the recipe I will try it and let you know if I managed to pull it off
Man. Now I want a burger 🙁
Ohhhh I want this recipe!!
I am so excited for the recipe for these, ngl, even if it’s just something unspecific to play with. I’ve been having great fun trying burgers with various bread dough rolls instead of from a shop.
Did you bake them in a jumbo muffin tin or something? The shape is unreal
These buns are sexy af
These look insane! I can’t wait to see the finished burger!
