Recipes for hamburger and cheeseburger like at McDonald's. What are McDonald's patties made from? Is there meat? Cooking hamburgers at McDonald's

This recipe makes hamburger buns just like McDonald's. They are just as soft, delicate, and if you press on the top, it quickly restores its shape. Fast food is unhealthy, but fortunately there is a compromise! I advise everyone to give preference to homemade buns. They do not contain harmful additives, you see all the products that are used and control the cooking process. This recipe with photo suggests making yeast dough, and using sesame seeds as a coating for the buns. And the hamburger recipe itself will appear here soon.

The secret of soft yeast dough is well-chosen proportions of ingredients and the right temperature. Yeast is a living organism that works in heat. It is convenient to buy bags of dry instant yeast weighing 7 g; they are designed just for 0.5 kg of flour. You can knead the dough without milk, that is, replace it with an equal amount of warm water. But baked goods with milk have a more delicate taste and aroma. Ready-made sesame buns can be used for hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and other homemade fast foods. And they cannot be compared with those buns that are sold in bread stores. And why buy if you can prepare delicious and soft hamburger buns at home for a week in advance. It will turn out no worse than at McDonald's, and even better, because everything is natural, made with your own hands! You can also store the buns in the refrigerator, wrapped in cling film, for about a week. Let's prepare fluffy buns step by step; photos are attached to the recipe for your convenience.

Homemade hamburger buns recipe

Probably, as long as fast food has existed, passions have been raging about its harmfulness to health. “Exposing” programs have been shown on television more than once, dozens of books and thousands of articles have been written on this topic.

In turn, representatives of fast food chains are trying in every possible way to rehabilitate themselves by introducing salads, yoghurts and fruits into the menu. They print calorie counts and convince you of the innocence of their wonderful hamburgers. And lately, journalists and bloggers are increasingly being invited to production sites so that they can personally see that their buns are the best in the world, and that their cutlets contain nothing but 100% meat.

This time we were invited to the Italian enterprise MARR RUSSIA (popularly known as Marusya), where they produce 100% of all beef cutlets for McDonald’s restaurants in Russia.

MARR RUSSIA is an independent Italian company that supplies a huge variety of products to fast food chains, hotels and restaurants in Russia.

For McDonald's, they make absolutely all beef cutlets for Russian restaurants. And today there are about 251 of them and they employ almost 25,000 people. The farthest one is in Tyumen and all the cities to the east have not yet been “makdatchen”.

Until recently, the largest McDonald's in the world was a restaurant on Pushkinskaya in Moscow. It now remains the largest in Europe and the most visited in the world of the 118 countries where the fast food giant has a presence. In Russia, about 900,000 people visit McDucks per day.

One of the main features of the Russian market is the lack of a franchise for opening a restaurant. All eateries are directly owned by the company. In most other countries, you can open a McDonald's franchise. Our company management is afraid that the level of service may drop and the quality will be difficult to control.

The central office where the recipes are created is located in Munich. In Russia, McDonald’s has a huge number of suppliers who make cutlets, buns, sauces for them at different factories, grow vegetables, etc. Seafood products come from Norway, potatoes of the Santana and Innovator varieties come from Poland (supply 50 thousand tons per year). All this goes to the restaurant, the ingredients are combined and... “Free cash register!”

Our excursion to the meat production began with the fact that a representative of the Marusya company said that photographing anything is strictly prohibited. After negotiations with the director of the company, we managed to obtain permission to film, subject to their approval of all photographs.

The security measures here are similar to those at a nuclear facility. Everywhere there are people in spacesuits, the meat itself can only be viewed through bulletproof glass, under the gun of laser beams.

Before entering the production facility, employees remove all jewelry and place it in special mini-safes.

When you think about it, now you see the place where McDachny cutlets are produced for the whole country, you imagine giant halls with dozens of moving belts with thousands of semi-finished products.

In reality, everything turned out to be much more modest than imagined. Everything takes place in two main halls. In the first hall there are two main installations. One is for the production of minced meat. Meat is served along two belts: the first - fresh, Russian-made, the second - frozen, foreign.

The meat of our lean cows is very low in fat (about 8%). Therefore, to achieve the required 20% fat for cutlets according to the recipe, it is brought to the level of foreign, fattier meat. 70% is meat from bulls and 30% from cows. By the way, it is precisely because of the lean meat that South Americans consider our hamburgers tasteless. And ours consider their hamburgers too smelly for the opposite reason :)

Frozen.

Proceeding along these two belts, the meat is ground and combined into a homogeneous mass in a 50/50 ratio. Here the receiver of the finished minced meat is already waiting for him.

The minced meat lines up and waits to be taken to the next machine, which will turn it into cutlets.

The main words in production are safety and quality. The temperature of the minced meat “while waiting” should not rise above a certain temperature. This is monitored by a special person with an equally special device.

Having waited its turn, the minced meat is loaded into a molding machine, which makes two cutlets of different thicknesses.

And... drum roll! Here they are, cutlets for all Rus'.

Despite the apparent miniature production, about 1,000,000 cutlets (about 70 tons) come out of this line every day! Which completely covers the demand of all Russian fast food lovers from McDonald’s. Nothing works at night, all equipment is washed and checked.

There are two metal detectors on the production line to ensure that nothing gets into the meat.

All cutlets are frozen and appear in the next room, where they are packaged in special boxes.

Thick and thin.

Specially trained people in spacesuits monitor the process.

There is quite a bit of noise here, so everyone is wearing headphones with antennas. Iron cars, people in white spacesuits, bright red meat, antennas on their heads - in general, it’s quite a sight :)

Cutlet boxes are served from a separate room.

Other machines finally pack everything and send it for shipment.

And of course we looked into the laboratory, where the quality of the meat is constantly being checked.

In general, the process is of course incredibly simple. The meat is salted and peppered “on the spot”. According to McDonald's employees, nothing else is added to it.

By the way, they said that there is as much sugar in a bun as in a piece of cake. This is done so that during baking a crust will form and the necessary fluffiness will appear.

Speaking of my thoughts, it always seemed to me and still seems to me that McDonald’s products contain flavor and aroma enhancers, as well as other additives. I think they are in sauces. It may be that they are added to bun dough. Whether this is true or not is not known for sure. The company claims that there are no flavor enhancers in their products.

We checked the meat and found nothing but 100% beef :)

Special thanks to

In those not-so-distant times, it was not so easy to refuse a bun with a cutlet inside at a clean plastic table, and even wash down this “delicacy” with Coca-Cola in a beautiful branded glass.

We'll tell you how to cook a hamburger at home that tastes better than McDonald's. There is nothing complicated about this - a sandwich is just that, a sandwich, even with a cutlet.

To prepare hamburgers you will need: meat (veal, lean pork), milk, white bread, pickled cucumber, tomato, lettuce, processed cheese, mayonnaise, salt, and, of course, ready-made hamburger buns. First, soak white bread in warm milk and grind it together with the meat in a meat grinder. Salt the minced meat, mix and form it into small flat cutlets. It is convenient to do this by placing the meat balls on a sheet of cling film and covering with the same sheet. Lightly press down this workpiece and get semi-finished meat flatbreads. Fry them until cooked, preferably on a grill grate or Teflon frying pan without oil. Cut tomatoes and pickles into neat circles. We cut the buns in half lengthwise and grease the inside with mayonnaise. On the bottom half we place a leaf of lettuce, a cutlet, a tomato, cucumbers, and slices of processed cheese. If desired, season everything with ketchup and cover with the other half of the bun. Our homemade hamburger is ready. Bon appetit!

However, it is worth keeping in mind that a hamburger is not only tasty, but also very high in calories. To eliminate excess saturated fat, use lean ground beef for your patties and mix it with chicken or turkey. Add more oatmeal and mushrooms to the minced meat.
By the way, chic burgers are prepared for reasonable money in a Belarusian pub and in a trendy cafe on Oktyabrskaya Street, and if you are too lazy to travel, you can take my advice and get burgers straight home.
We'll also give you a recipe for a burger (a close relative of the hamburger) with mushrooms for 6 servings. To prepare this dish you will need:

Lean ground beef – 250 g.
Chicken or turkey mince – 250 g.
Champignon mushrooms – half a cup finely chopped
Oatmeal – 1/4 cup
Onions – 2 tbsp. tablespoons finely chopped
Green lettuce leaves, onion rings, tomato
Whole grain bun – 6 pieces

How to cook? Yes, just like a hamburger. Mix the ingredients for the minced meat and form 6 flat cutlets from the resulting mass, and then fry them on the grill. We cut the buns lengthwise, put the cutlet, herbs, onion rings inside and add ketchup or mustard.

Well, for advanced cooks we offer a full cycle of preparing hamburgers at home.

Hamburger buns recipe. For 6 pieces you will need:

3 cups flour
1 glass of milk
1 packet of dry yeast
1 tbsp. spoon of sugar
1 tbsp. spoon of melted butter
1 teaspoon salt

Mix the bun dough in a suitable bowl. To do this, first mix 1 cup of flour with milk, yeast, sugar and butter and put in a warm place for a quarter of an hour. Then add the remaining flour little by little to form an elastic mass.

We form buns from the dough and place them on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil. Leave some space between them so they don’t stick together, and let them sit for at least half an hour to rise. Then brush the tops of the buns with egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds and place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake hamburger buns at 200° for 10-15 minutes.

Well, you already know how to assemble all the ingredients into a beautiful, appetizing sandwich in the form of a McDonald’s hamburger. Experiment for your health!

McDonald's is a favorite place for a snack or a hearty lunch for many residents of almost all countries and cities. When working or studying at the institute, there is no better moment than lunch. Most people agree that McDonald's food is unhealthy, but still many of them consume such food. And their favorite dish is hamburger. McDonald's is famous for its special recipes for preparing its dishes.

Myths or reality? Stories about McDonald's hamburgers

There are a lot of rumors about the health hazards of fast food. The McDonald's hamburger is no exception. Such food is not so harmful as its composition, products for preparation and production technology. Expired products, chemicals to enhance taste and addiction, additives to ensure that prepared food remains fresh for a long time.

In kitchens like McDuck's, where the flow of customers does not decrease throughout the day, it is difficult to keep the cooks' work areas perfectly clean. Frying oil is changed very rarely - saving product and lack of time. And such oil contains harmful substances from the combustion process, cholesterol, and also has an unpleasant odor and taste. All this is harmful to overall health.

There are also stories that a McDonald's hamburger does not spoil for about ten years. This was told by people who decided to check it out from their own experience. As an experiment, several clients purchased a hamburger and stored it unrefrigerated for several years, checking it every week. They described their experiment on the Internet, posting photographs. The longest shelf life is twelve years. During this time, the McDonald's hamburger did not become moldy, did not rot, but only dried to a stone state.

What is added to it for preservation? Hamburgers and other food at McDuck are stuffed with preservatives and salt so much that even mold can’t take it, so why are people used to this junk food?

Additive for taste in food from McDonald's

Many people stop cooking at home, preferring to eat at McDonald's and order food home from there. And what they cook with their own hands seems tasteless, bland and inedible. The thing is that cunning entrepreneurs, in order to keep regular customers in their establishments, add seasonings that are harmful to health. These additives are addictive due to their effect on the taste buds. Such food has a richer taste, which means you like it more.

Over time, with frequent consumption of such products, ordinary seasonings and salt become unrecognizable to the receptors, making ordinary food seem bland and tasteless. People don't pay attention to the fact that they are gaining weight. Such food has a detrimental effect on health.

How much does a hamburger cost at McDonald's?

At McDuck, hamburgers are not very expensive, which is what attracts people - its price is only 130 rubles, and its size is impressive. But it will be cheaper to cook a hamburger at home, like at McDonald's.

The recipe is simple and does not require any special skills or products. At the same time, homemade food is much healthier, more profitable and tastier. All you have to do is give up snacking at McDuck to learn how to sense taste normally again. There is no need to eat in such establishments so as not to pay for your health, especially your own children.

How to make hamburger buns

Making these buns is simple and quick. If you want to eat a McDonald's hamburger, but don't want to buy it because you're worried about your health, you can cook it yourself. To do this you will need:

• a glass of milk;
• half a glass of water;
• approximately fifty grams of butter;
• half a kilo of flour (high grade);
• a packet of quick yeast;
• two tablespoons of granulated sugar;
• half a teaspoon of salt.

The dough needs to be kneaded, rubbed with sunflower oil and placed in a warm place until it rises. It will take approximately forty minutes. Then spread the baking sheet with sunflower oil, form bun balls from the dough, place them on the baking sheet, and flatten them. Bake as usual until fully cooked and the crusts are golden brown. The hamburger buns are ready! All you have to do is wait for them to cool down, but in the meantime, start preparing the cutlets.

How to cook hamburger patties?

At McDuck, cutlets are made from things that even animals can’t eat. To prepare them, fat is taken from beef meat, which is soaked in ammonium hydroxide! This is poison for living organisms! After this procedure, the fat becomes an appetizing meat color; it is chopped, adding seasonings and flavor enhancers.

If you're still ready to eat it, it's up to you, but if not, then prepare the food at home. A McDonald's hamburger patty can be made from any meat you like. You will need:

• cream;
• potato;
• Champignon;
• salt;
• red pepper;
• curry and turmeric;
• dill and black pepper.

Prepare minced meat and onions (mince or chop). Divide into two parts: add all types of pepper and salt to the first, curry, turmeric, dill and salt to the second.

We make puree from the potatoes, fry the mushrooms, add them to the puree, pour in cream and mix with a blender.

A canned food can is ideal for baking cutlets. Lubricate it with oil, put the first layer of minced meat, spread puree on it, cover with the second part of the minced meat. If you are preparing a lot of hamburgers, bake the patties on a baking sheet or baking sheet. This is a puff cutlet, like at McDuck, but you can make cutlets without a potato layer, from one part of the meat.

Assembling a hamburger from homemade products

When the buns and cutlets are ready, all that remains is to assemble the hamburger, just like at McDonald's. The assembly recipe is simple:

1. To do this, take a bun and cut it into two parts.
2. Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the bottom, place a cutlet, a lettuce leaf, a round tomato, a slice of pickled cucumber and a square piece of cheese, preferably processed.
3. Cover the whole thing with a bun top and microwave at full power. Let the hamburger cook there for one minute.
4. When you take it out, you can grease the hot top with butter so that the sesame seeds stick, and then sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Ready! Only, unlike the original, it will not harm your body.
