Monster Stacker Hamburger Bun Recipe

Making a hamburger bun from scratch couldn’t be easier with this recipe from Taste of Home.

Grilling it in a Cedar Plank tray on the grill couldn’t be more fun.

Eating it with my Monster Stacker Burger is just the icing on the cake or hamburger if you will.

Here is the 40 – Minute Hamburger Bun recipe that I used in my Monster Stacker Burger video:

Changes made to recipe for the Cedar Plank trays: Divide dough into thirds, grill for up to thirty minutes, use toothpick to test if done.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons active dry yeast
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (110° to 115°)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.
Add oil and sugar; let stand for 5 minutes.
Add the egg, salt and enough flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 3-5 minutes.
Do not let rise.
Divide into 12 pieces; shape each into a ball.
Place 3 in. apart on greased baking sheets.
Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Bake at 425° for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Just a couple of notes:

Preheat the Cedar Tray to eliminate any bacteria.
Spray or coat the tray on all insides.
Grill indirect heat.
Cooking time will vary, a 5 x 5 hamburger bun will take up to thirty minutes.
Use a tooth pick inserted into the center of the bun to see if it is cooked completely. (toothpick pulls out dry if done)

Chipotle Cheddar Chile Beer Bread

Sometimes inspiration strikes and it all comes together. Dutch oven, Beer, Bread, Cheese, my favorite sauce and Cooking Outdoors. For me it was exciting because I love to create new recipes and this time I actually wrote it down to share. How many times have you managed to put a fantastic meal together from scratch and then say “I need to write that down”. Whoops, all gone …

Not this time, I tell ya!

Beer bread, the ultimate outdoor cooking bread. Fast, easy and requires beer, I love it.

Chipotle Cheddar Chile Beer Bread

Ingredients

3 cups self rising flour

3 tbls sugar

1 tps salt

8oz Chipotle Cheddar Cheese (I used Bravo Farms Original Chipotle Cheddar)

1 small can diced Chiles (Hot or Mild) undrained

2 tbls All Spice Cafe Chipotle Garlic Sauce

1 can of beer (Cheap can like Pabst Blue Ribbon)

Preparation

Cube the Chipotle Cheddar Cheese up and add to all of the other dry ingredients, mix thoroughly. Now add your All Spice Cafe Chipotle Garlic Sauce and beer, mix till it is blended (do not over mix, lumpy is good). Poor this into a grease 10″ Dutch oven or a Bread loaf pan for the grill. It will look like a wet glob of flour and that is perfect. No rising or kneading necessary.

Bake at 350° F for 40 minutes. Outdoor Cooking with a 10″ Camp Dutch oven will require 7 coals on the bottom and 13 coals on the top. Grilling your Beer Bread will require indirect heat.

It’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and thumping the bottom sounds a dull thump when you rap it.

Warm Beer bread with a slight kick to it! The cheese was gooey and tasty, crust had a wonderful crunchiness to it. Great for sopping up some soup or sauces! But, I ate mine just as it was, warm, crunchy, gooey and delicious!

This was a big hit at the last Dutch oven Gathering I was at. I you try this recipe, please let me know what you think!

Jalapeno and Cheese Beer Bread

My wife was making us some Enchilada soup the other night and she casually mentioned that some bread would be nice. You know, just whip something together in an hour for dinner!! So I scrambled around and decided on something spicy and hot for a bread, beer bread to be exact. This is what I came up with, hope you like it.

Ingredients:

3 cups flour

3 tbs sugar

1/4 tsp salt

1 can Mexican beer

1/2 – 3 Jalapeno chile’s (depending on taste) diced

2 green onions diced

1 clove garlic minced

1 4oz can Fire roasted diced green chiles (mild or hot)

1 tsp cumin

1/4 cayenne pepper

1 1/2 cups of Mexican blend cheese

Preparation:

Mix flour, sugar, salt, cumin and cayenne pepper together until blended well. Mince Jalapeno chile’s and garlic. Dice green onions and place all three in a pan or Dutch oven to saute for just a couple of minutes to release the flavors. Mix all ingredients (except beer) together until well blended. Add whole can of beer and mix till you have a moist glob of batter, yes it needs to be the consistency of a glob of wet flour. Pour this into your well greased pan or Dutch oven.
