Anyone Find A Great Hamburger Bun?

Hello. Being new, I'm looking to make this transition as easy as possible for myself. We love to eat out at Red Robin, and I see that they have some potentially safe foods. Anybody want to chime in on what the Best bun would be that's gluten-free? I would have a tough time eating a hamburger without a bun, and thought maybe I could bring my own with me. :D But, I'm big into tastes, too. So, which tastes the most like a "real" hamburger bun??

Thanks!

I'm not sure about Red Robin, hopefully someone with some experience with them will chime in to confirm things on that.

Hamburger buns - Kinnikinnick English Muffins (not the hamburger buns) make nice, soft, squishy buns if you know the trick). The trick is that you have to put them in the microwave for a bit. Then they get soft and squishy. Kind of on the chewy side, but it works really well. www.kinnikinnick.com

Whole Foods just started making gluten-free hamburger buns. It may not be at every location yet, but if they have them near you, it will probably be in the freezer section with some other gluten-free stuff (pizza crusts, breads, cornbread). When you get them, you'll notice that they're hard as a rock and twice as heavy, but use the microwave trick and they'll get soft. These reminded me of really good hamburger buns. Makes me want to go buy some more.

We like the Glutino buns. They are made from corn flour, and are a bit tougher in texture than the wheat flour ones that I once ate. But they are very good, especially if lightly toasted. Visit Open Original Shared Link to learn more.

I have taken the Gluten-Free Pantry Sandwich Bread mix and the French Bread mix, prepared it for conventional oven but poured a small amount into a small round baking dish. I used a corningware bowl that we had but if you plan to do this a lot I have seen mini-springform pans that might work better.

You have to experiment a little to get the right thickness (but you can cut a middle layer out if it is too big). As with most of these bread mixes, it is better the first day or so after baking.

Can you tell me how many calories are in the Glutino burger buns?

I recently went to Whole Foods to buy theirs to find they had 360 calories each. Yikes! That changed my mind pretty quickly and I went without.

No, it is a recipe I have at home. It is not dairy free, it has butter and heavy cream in it. I am not sure how you could convert heavy cream into dairy free. I can post the recipe anyways if you want?

I've used the gluten-free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread in 4 inch springform pans to make buns and they turned out really good. The downside is you end up making a bunch of buns at one time and it takes time for yeast bread to rise.

I recently tried Fast and Fresh Hamburger Buns and I'm impressed. You mix and make one bun at a time, spoon it into a plastic bun shaped mold, microwave for one minute and then toast it to brown it. It turns out a bun with good texture that holds together in a burger with all the good stuff on it and it takes less than 5 minutes. The downside is you're trading time for money. The starter kit is $8.99 and the refill kit is $5.49, each kit makes 4 buns.

To me the trade-off is worth it because it allows me to go have a burger on the spur of the moment without having a 2 hour baking session before hand but I don't do it that often. If burger runs are a frequent event, you may prefer to bake a bunch and freeze them. If you toast a frozen bun, they still taste pretty good.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
