Your Guide To The Most Popular & Commonly Found Burger Buns

Burgers are delicious, easy to cook, and affordable. It is no wonder they are one of the most popular dishes in the world. While many would say that the ingredients are the key elements to making a good burger, choosing the right bun is equally as important as the right bun helps to gel everything together.

Speaking about buns. There are so many varieties in the market these days! While it only felt like not too long ago there were only approximately three varieties, these days you have things like ciabatta and even lettuce as buns! Hence, to introduce to you the modern world of burger buns, as well as help you select the best bun for your desired burger, we have compiled a list of some of the most popular and commonly found burger buns in the world.

Spoiler alert: To discover what Wildfire Burgers’ preferred burger bun choice is, the answer is at the bottom of this article!

Types of burger buns

Plain white bun

It is one of the most original and basic burger buns. Known to be simple and does not offer any additional flavour or textures, it is also inexpensive. Because it has a plain flavour, it can easily be combined with other ingredients. Many individuals, when preparing a burger at home, especially for a large group or a party, go for a plain bun as an affordable option.

As simple as it is, it gets the job done. However, it lacks durability and substance. The majority of the time, the plain white bun is unable to last long before it breaks apart and cannot support multiple condiments, toppings, and meat patties at once.

Sesame seed bun

One of the most common and popular choice for burgers today are the sesame seed buns. They are essentially plain white buns with a dash of sesame seeds on top. The sesame seed adds a touch of earthiness and nuttiness to the existing flavour profile. Besides taste, the crunchiness of the sesame provides another layer of texture. However, considering that sesame does not provide that distinct of a flavour and that they fall off the burger rather easily, they are just pretty much there for aesthetic purposes.

Ciabatta bun

Ciabatta buns first originate in Italy as an attempt to provide an alternative to French baguettes. However, using it in burgers is definitely a newer option in the market and a definite result of the craft and gourmet burger trend. Typically used in traditional deli sandwiches, the ciabatta bun offers burger lovers a whole new level of enjoyment. 

Not only is it able to perfectly withstand the juiciness and condiments that we so love when it comes to our burgers, but it is also flavourful. The hard exterior and soft interior work well together, absorbing the juiciest of burger patties without any worry of falling apart due to their hard exterior. However, the textures can also be the reason why some people do not find them appealing as well, as they can be too hard to bite. 

Brioche bun

First originated in France, brioche buns consist of flour, milk, butter, and egg. They are known for their light and puffy textures. If there were a vote on the most popular burger buns, brioche buns would definitely be at the top, and Wildfire Burgers can agree no less. 

We think it is the best burger out there, and therefore, it is our preferred choice of bun for all our burgers. For starters, they are more flavourful than any of the buns listed above. That is because of their higher butter and egg content. Without overpowering the rest of the ingredients, it not only holds them together well but also adds another layer of flavour to the overall burger.
