what is the best bun? it’s brioche!

We took an American classic and paired it with a French hallmark. Get ready for the best burger bun…brioche!
Savoir-faire, our artisan bakers know the ins and outs of brioche bread baking. That comes in handy when following the unique and rigorous baking process necessary to make brioche. For more information on the history of brioche, take a look at this interesting article.

new age burgers means new age buns

what do we mean?

One new trend sweeping across the world is the craft burger. You’ve probably seen them while out to eat with the family. What does the gourmet burger trend look like? Standard toppings are being passed over for more unconventional toppings like guacamole or a fried egg. Garnishes never thought of as burger toppings in years past can now be found almost everywhere. Even fast-food joints are catching on and releasing their own take on the craft craze. Skimpy and wilted shredded lettuce, flat-top grilled patties, American cheese, and white bread buns are being replaced by farm-fresh mixed greens, flame-grilled grass-fed beef, sharp Wisconsin cheddar, and French brioche (which we think is the best burger bun!). 

painting a summer picture

A cool summer breeze rustles through the backyard, the sun still high in the sky on these long seasonal days. You have everything prepared for the barbeque and laid out on the table. The condiments sit in the middle waiting to be squeezed and add a nice touch of red and yellow to the presentation. An array of toppings are lined up and ready to be passed around for everyone’s personal customization. Melted cheese blankets some of the steaming, freshly grilled hamburgers. But getting handed around the table first are lightly toasted, golden-brown brioche bread buns. Now, the feast begins.

how can you elevate your burger?

When you can’t eat out or would rather stay home in the friendly confines of your own backyard (perhaps with friends), you can still bring restaurant quality to your home. We aren’t going to tell you what you should put between the buns of your cheeseburger. But we do think you might want to reconsider using that plain old white bread bun!

Brioche bread makes the best burger bun with just the perfect combination of taste and texture (and according to internet polls, brioche is the best bun out there)! Brioche burger buns are very soft and lightly sweetened, with a golden tone and rounded shape. Our “out of this world buns” are excellent for burgers, but also elevate any kind of sandwich to the next level. However you like our buns, we are sure you will be more than satisfied!
