I'm looking into doing this, here's why. I buy frozen patties, they aren't that bad, really. OK, so now I go to supermarkets to buy hamburger buns. They all have 2 sizes. One size (the smaller size) hasn't changed since the 1930's and is too small for frozen patties. Then there's the larger sized buns. These are too big for frozen patties, they leave at least 1/2" of excess bread around the patties. So, I buy the smaller Popeye sized ones that Wimpy would gladly pay you Thursday for. They are too small, overly fluffy and compress down terribly as you handle the burger while eating.
So...I'm looking into baking my own. Sized slightly larger than the 1930's sized buns and firmer than the air injected dough bread on store shelves today.
I've found this site showing how to bake your own. I'd appreciate any feedback if you've baked your own hamburger buns. Btw, no hamburger joint uses the fluffy air buns you see on store shelves, they have buns baked exclusively for them, to their specifications.
