These Store-Bought Hamburger Buns Are Better Left On The Shelves - Tasting Table

"While some pre-made products are soft and buttery (like these yeast rolls), there are brands that leave a lot to be desired. Such is the case with Signature Select Hamburger Buns. Though these buns are inarguably cheap and light on the wallet, they are equally light on taste. These buns do not necessarily offer an offensive flavor, but there isn't much to talk about after biting into one of these ready-made pieces of bread."

"Though these buns are inarguably cheap and light on the wallet, they are equally light on taste. These buns do not necessarily offer an offensive flavor, but there isn't much to talk about after biting into one of these ready-made pieces of bread. If you're looking for a sturdy platform to embrace your carefully made burger patties, these slight and spongy store-bought buns are not the answer you're searching for."

Signature Select hamburger buns are inexpensive and lightweight but notably lacking in flavor and structural heft. The buns present a slightly floury, sometimes dry profile and an overall mild taste that leaves little after each bite. These buns are slight, spongy, and not ideal for supporting substantial homemade burger patties. They can work as a no-fuss, budget option when quality is not a priority. Toasting with butter can improve flavor and texture. Better choices for flavorful, sturdy buns include brioche, ciabatta, or rolls with poppy or sesame seeds.
