FAQs

Why are burger buns bad? ›

An ordinary bun makes it easy to hold a juicy burger, but the bread doesn't add much in the way of nutrition. Most burger buns, including enriched white and whole wheat, average 20 to 25 grams of carbohydrates per serving. All those carbs come with at least 1 gram of fat and more than 200 milligrams of salt.

The ideal soft burger bun should be pillowy, squishy, and tender, with a tight but soft crumb and a distinct sweetness. It should hold up nicely to the burger's juices, but should never be tough or cottony. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you don't want a burger that disintegrates half way through your meal.

*Please note all our buns, rolls and tortilla wraps are toasted in the same toaster as buns topped with sesame seeds.

Try basting your buns for moisture and flavor.

"Using melted butter with just a 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic powder, chili powder, or cumin can totally transform a boring bun."

Hard crusts/bread/buns etc means that you are either baking on too low heat and for too long, OR the dough you started off with was not kneaded well enough.

The bun flour should have good viscoelastic properties and a high gas retention capacity. A high protein content, soft gluten – is ideal. While the strong gluten flour tends to be a disadvantage. To deal with this you have to work with special proteases to achieve a soft, supple dough structure.

Milk buns. Light yet sturdy, crusty, and sponge-like, milk buns have become a burger lover's favourite. The milk bun absorbs the juice from the meat and sauce, without turning into a soggy mess. It's more savoury than sweet (compared to the brioche burger buns), offering a delicious balance of flavours.

A classic, every time. Please note onion is now added on to our beef burgers during cooking. We cannot guarantee any beef burger will be onion free, even after onion has been removed on request.

McDonald's has made small modifications to the way it cooks and prepares its much-loved beef burgers, enhancing all the elements customers enjoy most. From adding onions to patties at the grill for extra flavour, to changing the sear of the beef patties – it all adds up to its most delicious burgers yet.

We've been making some improvements to our burgers

Juicier patties, new toastier buns and meltier cheese. The classics are now a little more 'Mmmm'. Your browser can't play this video.

Are McDonald's patties fried? ›

McDonald's burgers are made of 100% ground beef, formed into hamburger patties, and then quickly frozen at our suppliers to seal in great fresh flavor. We add salt and pepper to our burgers when they are cooked on the grill at our restaurants to bring out all that great beef taste. * Weight before cooking 4 oz. (ea.)

Though we don't serve 'bunless burger' per se, you can simply order a burger without the bun - just ask your server when ordering and they'll take care of it.

Our 100% beef is ground, formed into patties, and then flash frozen. Flash freezing is when beef is quickly frozen to seal in fresh flavor. From the day it was formed, it usually takes about two to three weeks until the burger is served.

Refined carbohydrates are those found in white rice, baked goods and white breads, including hamburger buns. While you may save a few hundred calories removing the bun from your hamburger, this step alone is not likely to lead to significant weight loss.

Best: Rudi's Wheat Hamburger Buns

These buns use basic ingredients like whole wheat, potato flour, cornmeal, sunflower oil, and bran. Each serving has 5 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and just 10% of the recommended daily limit for sodium.

Buns are an excellent source of carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins, and minerals, preventing deficiency diseases. However, the primary nutrients they offer are carbohydrates and fibre. Various buns are enriched or fortified with nutrients. However, buns made from refined or regular flour are not healthy.

Though burgers provide protein and other nutrients, they're not seen as a healthy food option. That's because they're high in saturated fat and cholesterol. They're also often bundled with sodas and french fries, which contain large amounts of sugar and saturated fats.
