Buns and Burgers : Handcrafted Burgers from Top to Bottom (Recipes for Hamburgers and Baking Buns)

Everyone has their go-to burger. For some, it's a chargilled patty, while others prefer the crust of a flat top. Melted cheese? Mayo and mustard? Raw or caramelized onions? The options are endless. However, most people don't think creativity when it comes to buns. For a special, adventurous occasion, you might opt for the local grocer's ciabatta roll or pretzel bread, but that barely scratches the surface of the possibilities. Why is it that we pay so little attention to the foundation and roof of America's sandwich? In his debut cookbook, Buns and Burgers: Handcrafted Burgers from Top to Bottom, baker and burger-aficionado Gregory Berger (yes, his last name sounds just like that) teaches us not only how to create delicious burgers but also provides recipes for baking burger-specific buns that will elevate your cookout game. From classic sesame to black charcoal buns, learn how to bake your way to an Instagram-worthy burger that will more than satisfy your friends and family. Berger understands that not everyone has the resources and skills of a professional chef. He himself is a work-at-home dad who got his start in the culinary world by picking up baking as a hobby, and now he has gone on to create bread recipes for some of Sacramento's top restaurants. Because of this, Buns and Burgers intentionally emphasizes that all these crowd-pleasing burgers and buns can be made by anyone.
