Baking Hamburger Buns

Hi,

I've tried baking buns using the recipe on this site and love the flavor. I have used several cans and tried just placing the dough on a cookie sheet. It all gives me something to hold a burger in but most are very pointed in the center, like a volcano. I'm wondering if my oven is too hot or does anyone have any other suggestions. This doesn't affect flavor but it looks a little weird. I made yeast bread in my preGF days and I Do like for my baked stuff to look nice (a bit of a perfectionist, grin). Any help will be appreciated. granny

Have you tried making the dough just a little thicker so that you can form them instead of pouring them?

Vincent,

I can tell you to go to the site index on the first page of this site. Choose the 9th item: recipes and cooking tips or something similar. Then click the 3rd item: Biscuits, rolls, and buns. It's in the next window: hamburger and hot dog buns. I'm not really good on the computer so this is the easiest way to tell you, for me. If you meant something else or don't find it, I'll try again. Or maybe someone more knowledgeable on the computer can help. granny

Donna, thanks for the suggestion. Sometimes the simplest thing can allude us. I never even thought of doing that. I tried them again today with a lower oven temp and they were better but one still peaked. I guess 1 out of 5 isn't bad.

I think I will try making the dough a little thicker next time. Thanks again, granny

Vincent,

Thanks for putting the link info here. I feel so dense sometimes but have to hope my son has time to help me with stuff like that. He's my teacher and with 2 adult daughters and a granddaughter of his own, he doesn't always have time to teach me these new things. Oh, he's a truck driver and is only here on week-ends.

I hope you like these buns as much as I do. Maybe you can figure out what to do to prevent the volcano effect. I lowered the temp to 375 and had better results but had to cook them longer, which worked better for me. granny

I will let you know how I do. I love baking, but rarely get time for it. My son have celiac disease is re-awaking that love of mine. So I guess that makes it a good thing! :D

Granny,

I just made a batch and and have failrly roudned tops. I followed the directions, execpt I did the following:

1) I used a little more gum they they siad, prbly 1/4tsp more.

2) I left out the salt - I never use it.

3) Used Splenda instead of sugar

4) I dont have any muffin/etc forms I can bake with so I just dropped them on the cookie sheet directly.

When I put them on the sheet I flatened them out like I was making pancakes. Then I baked at 400 for about 15 mins.

Since they rise a bit in baking, I am assuming that you put rounded plops on your pan,and when they rose the made thier points bigger. So try squishing them. :)

I had an afterthought...don't add too much flour or they will be more like biscuits than rolls.

Hi Vincent,

I just found this and wanted to ask how high they rose up after smashing them.

I finally gave up and purchased the mini-spring form pans from Wal-Mart and they turned out better. I paid special attention to keeping the center lower as I loaded each pan and only one peaked on me. I think your idea of smashing them in a great one. granny I love the pic. of your little boy--he is so-o-o cute!

Sorry Granny, I do not recall right now. I want to get the forms like you bought befor I try again. But it sounds like you got it about right already? I would think they prbly at least doubled in height. I would say make them the way your doing it and just make sure they have a flat top. You realy dont want to "smash" them, that was to strong of a word that i used. more like smoth them out. They should rise in the center a little more then the edges, so plan for that when you shape them.

Hi, Granny! Here's what worked for me. I broke down and spent $20 for a hamburger bun pan from the King Arthur Flour website - they have all kinds of really cool pans for any type of bread you can think of. They have some silicone pans that I think would be especially good for nasty sticky gluten-free recipes. Their print catalog is like pornography for celiacs, it's so full of pictures of wheat breads and pastries. They even carry a few token gluten-free mixes. But I digress. I use the "True Yeast Bread" recipe from Betty Hagman's The Gluten-Free Gourmet (revised) and spoon it into the well-greased and rice-floured bun pan, smoothing the tops out with the spoon. Turns out there's enough dough for 8 rolls and only 6 forms in the pan, so I take two 4" rings and grease/flour them and put them on a greased/floured cookie sheet. Let rise until doubled, then bake at 400 uncovered for 10 minutes, then cover with a piece of foil and bake 15 minutes more. They are not perfect, but pretty good, especially the day they are made. I slice them before freezing. When thawed they also make good bases for what I used to call English muffin pizzas. Good luck. I have also had much more success with all my breads since borrowing a Kitchen-aid heavy duty mixer instead of doing it by hand with a wooden spoon.

This is too funny... but I also digress... Their catalog has a lot of neat items we can use even if the gluten-free flours are too pricey.

I ordered 2 sets (4 per set) of English Muffin Rings (I think I found them on amazon .com) and use them set out on a cookie sheet to make my hamburger buns and my english muffins. The rings cost me about $4.00 per set. Well worth it to have a bun at a barbeque. I slice them, then freeze them individually.

I use either a wet spatula or wet fingers to smooth the tops before they rise. I let them rise on the back of the stove for at least an hour before I bake them. I also use an egg beaten with a little water brushed on top of the buns then sprinkle on PoppySeeds or Sesame seeds.

Yes. those are the ones. Order two or three sets as most recipes make at least 8 rolls/buns/muffins.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
