Buns
« on: May 24, 2013, 05:50:15 PM »
With the apparent disappearance of Wonder, we're having a bun crisis. 

Does anyone have suggestions for hot dog or burger buns that are safe for PN, TN and Sesame?

Quite honestly, I'm sure DS eats products that are X-contam for sesame quite frequently and has never had a problem. But I am really uncomfortable buying stuff that I know for sure is contaminated.

Pepperidge Farms labels for sesame.  So we use their bread.  I can't remember if I've found safe buns made by them or not.  We also do Kings Hawaiian.

I'll have to check out the King's Hawaiian. I know there is one store here that carries them.   :)

You should double check, but I think Mac uses these too.

We use pepperidge farms smaller rolls. We just make sliders and kids love them. There are 2 different kinds that read safe. Kings hawiian rolls are safe, but they do have egg.

I avoid sesame (no reaction history but positive RAST and small reaction in a skin test) and have a hard time finding buns.  Do you have a Shop Rite where you live?  That is the only brand I can find w/o a sesame warning.  I haven't checked Martins Potato Rolls bc they have milk in them but now that the kids can do baked dairy, I should check them again.

Yes she does!  And King's Hawaiian buns. Inhve found them at Target. I don't think I've seen Martin's since we moved to MN. :(


And I am so grateful tht PF labels for sesame--so that we know not to eat those buns.

We are pretty sure that Franz (local PNW brand) is safe for pn/tn/egg-- but I have to check on the specifics of the TN used and see if there are any almonds in the facility where they are made.  There ARE seeds and treenuts (hazelnuts, at least, and maybe walnuts?) in at least one of their facilities given their other product lines.  Haven't had time to call, though.


That is THE cutest picture.   :heart:

On the other hand, for the non-vegetarians among us, I feel compelled to note that the OTHER kind of bun also widely regarded as... er...


edible.

Martin's does make a sesame seed bun.  However, they do label well.  I have not called them about their manufacturing processes because we only deal with peanut, tree nut, and egg (so Kings Hawaiian are a no go for us).

AH but I must comment here!  The hot dog buns are safe!  They do not carry a sesame warning like the hamburger and when I called - years ago I was told they were safe.  Due to their size and shape they are not made with any sesame buns like the hamburger buns are.

When I'm too lazy to make hamburger buns, DD doesn't mind if I split her burger and put halves side by side in a hotdog bun.

I've never found a safe hamburger bun.  I make my own thanks to some encouragement from Cookingmom so long ago.  I use my bread machine to prep the dough, take it out, shape and let do final rise and bake.  If you want them soft, brush hot bun top with melted margarine and let cool.  If you like it a with a little crunch, just cool.

I freeze a bunch and thaw as needed.  Send these to school for the school cafeteria too.  They keep them in the freezer for when DD is going to buy something that needs a bun.


Oh and PF sliders as of yesterday still have a sesame warning.  I always look at those but yesterday, along with the warning is a row of sliders with sesame seeds.  Poo!

Purplecat I wonder if it's regional. I've never seen a safe PF hotdog bun.  That is Virginia and Minnesota.  I also remember having to check for htis in the Houston area.

Interesting.  Here in NY metro both the hamburger and hott dog buns list sesame as an ingredient.  ???
