The return of the King. Hope your wife is doing OK.

Ketchup, mustard and mayo? Straight to jail, chef 😂

Chef John is a madman, and I love it.

"a nice big pinch of sugar" 😂

Awe man , I only have stale hotdog buns! And I don’t want to put relish and sauerkraut in it😂

I remember at the casino I worked at, the buffet would make bread pudding with the leftover donuts and cinnamon rolls from the day before.

Toasting the buns reminds me of when I was teaching my youngest how to make french toast. She was confused why we didn't toast the bread first. It is french "toast" after all. So we toasted two of the slices first and she loved it. Now we always lightly toast the bread first before we dip and fry.

Hey Chef John I was just thinking about bread pudding I had a friend who used to go to the bakery and get stale Donuts and he would make the most incredible bread pudding out of old donuts and cinnamon rolls I just so happens I have an abundance of hamburger buns😂😂😂

I don't understand why so many people disparage bread pudding. It's like meatloaf. Both are a great way to turn ingredients nearing the end of their usefulness (e.g., carrots that are no longer crisp, stale bread, etc.) into something awesome.

I reminds me of my mama. She used to make us toasted hamburger buns with custard cream for lunch😂

I was thinking that brioche buns would be the way to go, but now I'm wondering about those sweet Hawaiian dinner rolls.

I always get brioche buns @ Aldi . This sounds good but I bet the brioche would make it even better .

My 14 year old daughter loves bread pudding. We’ll have to try this.

I can also vouch for bagel pudding and Apple fritter pudding. Both worked very well.

Now I can just see the boys faces at deer camp when I pull these out of the oven!

This is my church, this is where I heal my hurts!😊

Perfect timing, I’ve been looking for bread pudding recipes

Making this rn, and I dont have yellow mustard nor ketchup I have dijon and bbq sauce so well see how this turns out lol! Update: Its delicious! No surprise from Chef John. Can’t wait to tell my wife about the secret ingredients!! Highly recommend to have it soak overnight as the buns took awhile to get fully saturated. Definitely chill until cold especially on hot days. I have a 2 y/o so the wife didn’t want him to have any of the whiskey caramel sauce. Though a little real dark maple syrup was suitable. Plus I doubt my son is gonna recognize the nuance of the smokey buttery amazingness from the original. Thank you Chef this will be such a wonderful memory!

You always make me smile :) ~Love you chef John!! ❤❤Thanks & Blessings!

This is insane, chef John

DAVE'S KILLER HAMBURGER BUNS WORK GREAT!!!😂

I don’t think I’ve had a bread pudding that I haven’t loved. This version looks great. One of my favourite versions uses panettone. Yum!

Looks fantastic!!! I'm a big fan of bread pudding. My favorite is made with glazed donuts, way too many walnuts, and two more eggs than my recipe calls for 😊

Hopefully the wife is doing well and this looks great

“Btw, if your buns are already actually stale and dry..”😂

Love the King Canut reference.

Bread pudding is one of my favorite confort sweets that I'm not supposed to eat.

My second favorite bread dough (after my sourdough) is a slightly sweet enriched dough that I use for everything from hamburger buns, to dinner rolls, to braided seeded loaves, to sandwich bread. It would be perfect for this in any form. Thanks for the idea.

I think I would have soaked the raisins in the whiskey myself!

When he added the ketchup I almost actually did turn the video off. 😅

Since you added raisins it’s got me wondering if mincemeat would also work.

‘A pinch of sugar you say’….😮

I feel like I should made two. one with KMM and one without. i mean I don't recall the last time I put raisins and cinnamon on my hamburger

Nice buns John 😊

Bread pudding makes my buns swell up too.

Oh so yummy......I can smell it!

peak chef john recipe

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! But for real, hamburger buns have always been so sweet to me that it makes sense

I often let your videos cue up on their own. One question and one suggestion... Do you have a stand mixer? Get some Allclad cookware, seriously! It's a game changer!

Been making cold biscuit pudding for decades, I make extra biscuits so I can make the pudding a couple days later. It's as good as this, possibly better. ;)

I love bread pudding with raisins!!

Recipes like this and your humor equals 4.5 million subscribers and you can quit your day job!

bounced on my boys burger bun bread pudding to this for hours

Whiskey makes everything better, especially though in this case.

Time to bust out my stale pretzel burger buns. Thank you for the inspiration, Chef.

I thought for sure the secret ingredient was going to be Chinese 5 spice. Also, I never not laugh at the "touch" of sugar 😂

Looks great! I’ve used the croissants from Costco. Very yummy too!

By pinch. Chef means cup! yum! love a good bread pudding and this looks that! I knew the secret greds were K, Ma, and Mu.

I would have soaked the raisins in American whiskey.

I often make french toast with brioche hot dog buns from a local bakery that they sell for half price the day after

This looks quite a bit better than bread pudding made from whitebread

You're a genius.

That looks/sounds delicious! Definitely a recipe for me to save for winter/fall. Florida is just a bit too hot in July.

OMG! I have always thrown out stale burger buns… thank you so effin much!!!

Suns out, buns out. Get em toasted! 😆

GENIUS!

Rarely ever here this early nice.

I'll add July 9 to my calendar as July fools day

Dang…Chef John, a pinch of cayenne?

French Toast

One of my favorite breads to make bread pudding from is Kings Hawaiian rolls.

You have to add Raisins!!!! 🙄🫨😱

Just a point, this is bread and butter pudding, bread pudding is something quite different altogether.

Chef John strikes again with another fantastic recipe.

So I’m absolutely NOT adding the secret ingredients when I make this 😂❤️🤘🏽

Just a pinch of sugar..... :D

Thank you!

Welcome back, sir. I hope all is well. Also, I’m making this tonight!

I did this with brioche hamburger buns I didn’t want to go bad. Delish. But made it before I saw this video, so no ketchup, mustard.

NICE!!! Hope Michell is doing well.

Looks like an excellent breakfast.

Drool 🤤 😮

I've done a similar dish called Mulatte's Bread Pudding from a restaurant in Naw'lins called Mulatte's.

GOTTA TRY THIS!

Great!

Mad man!!!!

If you're really fancy, you can call your raisins "sultanas".

This looks so tasty but who has burger buns leftovers? Not me 😭

Bread pudding is my favorite never thought about using hamburger buns❤

I read somewhere from one of those food nerds (and I’m saying food nerd as a compliment.). Dry bread is different than stale bread. Toasted dry bread will absorb liquids and flavors better. ( I don’t remember the exact science on why) Stale bread is ok if you do not want to waste. But if you are starting with fresh bread, dry it in the oven instead of letting it sit out and stale.

Everybody's so creative!

👉🏾At 4:18, he said, “Those Buns Has Really Swelled Up, As They’ve Soaked Up All Of That Beautiful Custard Mixture?!?” 😮😮😮 😂 😂 😂

Sod that! Try cheese and marmite bread pudding with a bit of bacon on the side. Super savoury, incredibly umami without msg and gorgeous. Doesn't taste like marmite either!

I am a Brit retired in Northern Thailand, I make Bread and Butter pudding with Butter croissants, My Thai family eat it quickly like their life depended upon it.

My wife has been complaining that she finds my buns stale for years. Nothing compared to what her boss has. This recipe will surely save my marriage!

Hope Michelle is well.

"A nice big pinch of sugar" MATE

Freaky fab recipe ! 🍔🍔🍔

oh dear

You could ad a little drizel of meat broth.🤣

I'm not doing the secret ingredients, brodawg.

I love bread pudding and my buns are stale

Is Chef John ok? The man must've been hit in the head with an errant firework at a 4th BBQ to come up with this one. Is he still seeing stars? American madness.

No! That poor bread pudding. "Raisens, humilated grapes really"

The whiskey may be optional but that it is bourbon is mandatory.

You are fancy, chef!

Aaah... interesting.

annnnd this channel has officially jumped the shark

I wonder if you can use chia seeds instead of sesame seeds. I also learned from GBBO that the Brits call the Green Grape raisins Sultanas and Purple Grape raisins as Raisins. I use Sultanas now, just so I can differentiate the two. Since I don't mind Sultanas, but I have textural problems with Purple Grape raisins.

I'd like to know what you imbibed or inhaled when you came up with this. 😂
