Finally made something edible out of this dough we have working on for awhile the idea is a so called "Mexican" hamburger bun. My thoughts are it should have the texture of a regular hamburger bun with the taste of tamale dough the overall idea is for someone that is opening a hamburger joint and wanted something different. Well he came to the right place we are the different bakers
First recipe we made with cornmeal it just didn' have enough corn flavor, very dense, and the cornmeal made the crust spotty. Next try we used masa de harina and replaced some flour and water from our Challah bread, well we mixed some hockey pucks not enough water in the dough but good flavor, and the color was really yellow.
With the third try I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do first I need white masa, so this required a trip to
Mariana's which I got to say this place has the best costomer service of any grocery store I have been in Flamingo and Peco's they rock by the time I paid for my bag of white corn flour I had got a free demo on making Horchata
which is a rice milk drink with cinnamon, vanilla, sugar. the reason i ask most restaurants use the horchata mix and i wanted to taste the real thing.
Finally get back to work make the next dough same porpoations of the last recipe just added more water, it was like a coupletely different dough proofed well after shaping, looked great in the oven, and smelled like a tamale factory when they came out the oven, when you broke it open smelled just like a tamale like going to grandma's house one bakery said.
The taste was good, might need more of a corn taste to stand up against a charcoaled burger, so we are in the processes of mixing one more dough for fun with double the corn flour inside so for the next couple family meal dinners we will be eating our new bread MASACHALLAH.
The different projects are coming along good, got pushed back on my exite plan from work until September
so that will give some extra time to get everything ready. This week looking to buy a nice mixer brand new its to big for one restaurant they want to trade or I can buy discounted well so will go for it.
