Hello lovelies, I hope you enjoy the beautiful weather to the fullest and I have the perfect recipe for it today: Tomato burger buns. We like to eat burgers in summer, and if possible make them completely ourselves. But not only the topping of the burger is important, but especially the bun is. I'm not a fan of the mostly plump buns you can buy in the store. The tomato burger bun has everything a good burger bun has to have. It is crunchy on the outside, nice and soft on the inside and tastes fantastic.

I created this recipe in cooperation with Knorr Switzerland*. In order for the bun to taste really like tomato, I added the new Knorr tomato flakes to the dough. The tomato flakes have a fine tomato flavor, but also contain some garlic and basil. They are made of 100% natural ingredients and don’t require the addition of salt, so you can salt your dish to your own taste.

Tomaten Burger-Bun

We kept it red with these burgers and added red hummus, ketchup, radicchio, tomatoes and small radish – that didn’t only look very nice, but was really delicious. This time the burger patty was made from Seitan. I like to experiment with it and as soon as I am 100% satisfied, I will also share the recipe with you.

But you can built the tomato burger buns according to your preferences. There are no limits to your imagination. They are perfect for Mediterranean burgers with grilled vegetables, or for a classic with salad, cucumber, tomatoes and your favorite patty.

As usual I’m curious, do you make your burger buns yourself or do you buy them? They are really made so quickly, just prepare the dough in the morning, let it rise, bake and ready for dinner from the grill. Or just make a larger amount and freeze them, so you always have a bun at hand when the burger cravings come.

Of course the Knorr tomato flakes are also delicious with a Mediterranean salad, bruschetta or on pizza. And have you already discovered the other spices of the series? You can find my recipes with them here.

Love, Verena
