today we're going to be going over some plant-based burgers that not only
look like meat but we're going to flavor them so good
they're going to bring you back to those picnics and cookouts that you remember
we're also going to be using our favorite dough
to make the easiest and tastiest burger buns
(inaudible words singing then piano playing - music goes to background when words start being spoken)
YEAHHHHHHHH
welcome and welcome back thank you for tuning in
my name is Andrew i am one of the halves of the duo
at makeitdairyfree.com it is almost summertime
and i don't know about you but every uh like first
few weeks of the summer i get that uh i get that one
song stuck in my head
(♪♪ Summertime by Will Smith playing)
plant-based burgers so they're there's like a ton of them right
um but in my experience i've i've encountered a few issues with
a good amount of them at times they can they can be too soft
or they break apart really easy or you you just can't cook them
everywhere maybe you could bake them maybe you
could put them on the stove who knows but the burger we're gonna be
making today solves all of that full disclaimer your
first bite you're gonna put the burger down and go
look at the ingredients not only are you not gonna believe that you made it
but you're probably not gonna believe it's vegan either to add to that we
are going to make some of the juiciest buns
out there i mean like warm buns that you can just squeeze and they
bounce back listen when you see my buns you're gonna want buns that look just
like mine but no worries because i'm going to show you how to
shape some really good buns so that way after you see my buns maybe
you can show me your buns (awkward pause)
(upbeat music playing)
all right guys let's start with getting
our hands on these buns we're going to be using our everything
dough for this video but i'm going to be starting out after
the first rise if you're new to the channel we have a
bread dough that we call the everything dough that
you can use for literally everything we'll insert the
video
around here somewhere but definitely in the description
from here we're going to show the dough who's boss
then get it out on the counter to a floured surface
now use a knife to separate the dough into eight pieces
cut it in half and then cut that half in half
cut those pieces in half and you should have eight personally
i'm a bit of a perfectionist so i usually weigh the dough on a scale
then do the math to divide that by eight and pinch off pieces of dough and weigh
them to make sure they're the appropriate size when ready
with each piece you're going to pull the bottom
of the dough to the top on each side then turn it over
into your hand or on the counter push the dough
against the surface and roll it in a circular motion
to make the dough balls so you do want to take the time
to shape perfect balls (awkward pause)
so you can have perfect buns all i got to do now is take my shirt off and
suddenly this became an old spice commercial set them balls down on a
baking sheet giving them good space for an additional
rise after about an hour they should be doubled in size they
will get larger in the oven so add your butter on top then take them
to the oven to bake when your buns are ready
walk them over to the counter and don't forget to oil them
while they're hot mmm who doesn't like some oily buns
(music playing)
so to start the burger we need to prep two
of the ingredients separately for the rice the idea is that you're using
leftover rice if not you could always prep the rice
that moment and pretty much use it right away i'm gonna show you how to make
the perfect brown rice we're gonna be using brown rice because the texture of
it is perfect to resemble some of the chewiness that you would get
from a traditional hamburger rice is one of those ingredients that
sometimes some folks have a hard time making the first
couple times around i know i did but once you nail it once you know exactly
what to do every time after basically you're
doubling the liquid in the same amount of cups that you use
for the rice on a one to two ratio while you can use
water we're going to be using vegetable stock
we want to sacrifice no opportunity to add flavor wherever we
can so your steps are easy you're going to
let your vegetable stock come to a boil add your rice
stir it to make sure that it's covered then put a lid on
now turn down your heat and let it simmer give it a few minutes
and once all the liquid soaked up you might want to let it hang out in there
for a few more minutes just to steam through and then use a
fork to break it all up
(piano music playing)
tvp or textured vegetable protein it's pretty simple to prep
basically this ingredient comes dry and all you really want to do is hydrate
it add boiling water or vegetable stock and stir it to make
sure everything is incorporated and combined
with the liquid about five or 10 minutes later this is
ready to go
(saxaphone music playing)
now to create this epic burger we really are just throwing
everything into a food processor and then pulsing
until it's ready some quick tips in using a food processor
you do want to put everything in a bit strategically so don't just dump
ingredients in one place spread your stuff out to make
sure everything gets flavored evenly the same
applies for fresh ingredients you can roughly chop your ingredients
but definitely don't put them in whole or
chopped in half food processors are not built like a blender a lot of the
ingredients that you put in will just it will just sit on top
of each other and every once in a while will get in the path of the blade and
other times you're gonna have to put in a little
work use a spoon or spatula to turn the ingredients over
to make sure everything gets touched if you have a food processor that's too
small to fit everything in simply just add half of the ingredients
in pulse that together then add the other
half in and do the same thing once everything's
incorporated perfectly dump it all into a bowl and just use
your hands to make sure everything is combined to your liking now it's time
to shape them you can use a little oil or possibly
some gloves and you're just pinching pieces off and
making them into patty shapes first make a ball then
squash it after that you guys officially made it you can
choose to cook these in a skillet as you see here or in an oven an air
fryer or the way i like them best is on the
grill these things are easy juicy they pack a lot of flavor
and will easily become a family favorite this summer
