Babish Culinary Universe - Quadruple Patty Garlic Burger from Burger King Japan | Anything with Alvin
The video details the process of recreating Burger King Japan's 1B quadruple garlic burger with a focus on enhancing the garlic flavor. The original burger uses three types of garlic: fried, powdered, and fresh. The homemade version starts by roasting whole garlic bulbs to bring out their sweetness. The host then prepares a garlic-infused burger bun using a recipe that includes baked potato and roasted garlic, resulting in a soft, squishy bun. For the beef, chuck roast is used to create fresh ground beef patties, which are seasoned and cooked to achieve a fast-food style texture. The highlight is the homemade garlic sauce, which combines mayonnaise, fried garlic, lemon juice, and chili oil, among other ingredients, to create a strong, flavorful sauce. The burger is assembled with layers of beef, cheese, pickles, and the special garlic sauce, resulting in a rich and garlicky homemade burger. The video also includes a creative use of leftover buns to make a garlic-infused grilled cheese sandwich.

4. 🥯 Perfecting the Garlic-Infused Burger Bun
- The objective is to create a more garlicky version of the standard fast-food bun using Brian Leger strom's recipe as inspiration.
- Start by microwaving a potato for 5 minutes to achieve a baked consistency, yielding 150g, and then rice both the potato and roasted garlic cloves to avoid large chunks in the dough.
- Ingredients include: 650g of flour, 8g of instant yeast, 12g of salt, 80g of sugar, riced baked potato, soft garlic, one large egg, 70g of melted butter, and 200g of warm water.
- Mix the dough at medium speed for 10-15 minutes until it becomes sticky, then place it in an oiled bowl, using a turn technique to develop gluten structure, similar to sourdough or baguette dough.
- Allow the dough to proof at room temperature, covered, for about 45 minutes, checking for a soft and elastic texture to ensure proper fermentation.
