The buns are soft on the inside and crisp outside.You can toast nearly any type of bun.You can either grill the buns on a hot grill, bake them in an oven, or just stick a bun in a regular toast.If you want to find out which way gives you the best toasted buns, choose a method that is most convenient for you, or experiment with them all.
Step 1: If you want your oven to heat up quickly, set it to BROIL.
Go to the broil setting on your oven by turning the dial.If it has different settings, use the highest one.If you want it to toast your buns, preheat it for 10 minutes.If you are using a regular oven, make sure you have an oven rack in the top position.If you use a toaster oven that has multiple rack positions, you can put the rack in the top position to get the buns closer to the broiler.
Step 2: The buns should be on the baking sheet.
Pull the buns apart to expose the inside.The cut side of the buns should be set on a baking sheet.If you have to cut the buns in half, make the 2 halves even so they toast evenly.If the buns are supposed to be attached, you can spread them apart as much as you want.
Step 3: If you want the buns to turn golden brown, Broil them for 30 seconds.
Close the door and put the baking sheet in the oven.When you see that the buns are turning a golden brown, remove them after 30 seconds.It is important to stay and watch the buns as they toast because it is easy to go from toasting to burning.
Step 4: Pull the buns apart or cut them in half.
Pull the precut buns apart.If the buns are not precut, use a knife to cut them in half.The method works best when you are already grilling.You can use a grill already hot to toast the buns on.If the buns are meant to be attached, such as hotdog buns or sub sandwich buns, then just open them up as much as you can without pulling the halves apart where they connect.Before grilling the buns, you can brush them with butter or olive oil.
Step 5: The buns should be on the grill.
The buns should be cut-side-down on the grill.There are large flames that will burn the buns on the grill.If you are using a charcoal grill, make sure the charcoal is not flaming to toast the buns.If you are using an electric grill, wait until it is heating up on medium-high heat for at least 5 minutes.The safest place to put the buns to toast is around the edges of the grill.This will toast them without burning them.
Step 6: The buns should be toast for 10-60 seconds.
tongs should be used to lift up the buns every 10 seconds to make sure they are toast.When you start to see char marks on them, remove them.The grill temperature, the type of grill, and the position of the buns affect the length of time to toast.You can serve up burgers and dogs to order if you toss the buns on the grill at the last minute to make sure everything is ready.
Step 7: You should preheat your oven to 350 F.
Set your oven to bake.Allow the temperature to warm up for 5 minutes.If you want to evenly bake the buns, make sure the oven has an oven rack in the middle position.
Step 8: The buns should be put on the baking sheet.
Pull the buns apart if they are pre-cut.The cut side should be face-up on the baking sheet.You can bake buns 30 minutes to 1 hour ahead of time and then store them in a basket covered with tin foil or a clean towel to keep them warm.Try brushing the buns with butter or olive oil before grilling them to give them a flavor boost.If the buns are supposed to be attached, such as hotdog buns or sub sandwich buns, then just open them as much as you can without pulling the halves apart.
Step 9: The buns need to be baked for about 5 minutes.
The baking sheet can be put on the middle rack.Close the door and allow the buns to bake for at least 5 minutes.After 5 minutes, you can remove the baking sheet and poke the buns with tongs or a fork to make sure they are not fried.Place them back in the oven for 1-2 minutes if they are still soft.
Step 10: The bun should be split into 2 halves.
If you separate the bun into its two halves, it will be easier to put in the toast.If you have to cut it apart, make sure you cut in half.The method of toasting only works for hamburger buns.If you want to fit the bun halves in the toast, you'll need a lot of slots.You won't be able to use this method for hotdog buns.If you want to toast the buns, don't put butter, olive oil, or any other substance on them.It will cause a lot of smoke and a mess.
Step 11: TheToaster can be set to a medium level of toasting.
You can adjust the toast cycle on different toasts.You should toast the bun in one of the medium range settings.You can change the settings after the first bun to toast future buns more or less.You can adjust the heat on some toasts.
Step 12: For the full toasting cycle, toast the bun.
Press the lever down to start the toast.Wait for the toasting cycle to end and then toast the bun.When you put the bun in the toast, it doesn't matter which direction it is in.Unlike other methods, this procedure will toast the bun halves on both sides, resulting in a bun that is more flaky and dry.
