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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
