This is another one of those things, once again you've bullied me into

making

something I really don't want to eat or do, but that won't stop us from

making

the best version ever, so today we're making the

filet

-o-

fish

from

mcdonald

's first in name, if someone speaking normally to another human being says

filet

-o-

fish

, immediately kick that person out of the building if they don't know what this is, it's basically a

sandwich

with two buns per piece. cheese, for some reason, fried fish, tartar sauce

sandwich

ed between two rolls. Now, thinking about it, I could see how it could be good hypothetically.

I've honestly never had one of these before so with all that being said let's try it and see if I can make it oh my gosh we're back to hating it when people say

mcdonald

's is obviously mick right m.c donald's mcdonald's yes we are back at mcdonald's hello, we're not there yet proudly serving our community here's a white man, good time to Order the one thing I never thought I'd say Hello, can I get two fish fillet sandwiches? Thank you very much, so unfortunately we have the bag. I keep telling them that we don't need to do all modern art. bag of hamburger okay imagine you're dyslexic and look at this I'm so sorry for you leave a fish here we go I don't even know if this is hype really if everyone can see everyone's face in this room right now oh just don't look at it what do you think about this jojo? oh my god I shouldn't have done that, it's like it bites you when you smell it, what is this not even a whole slice?

They 3D printed this bread, what? flag is this what is the difference someone will feel this no, it's part of the bread it's part of the bread mom close your eyes oh that cleansed very well the palate it's not crunchy it has no flavor all I taste is fake bread I think I taste the cheese fake and it's absurdly sweet and all I have to say is there shouldn't be any of that in this, we're not even going to improve it, we're just going to redo the whole thing, let's reschedule it or something, let's do it, you know, McDonald's bagels They are a tragedy and also why they smell like that and my resolution to that tragedy is a beautiful Hokkaido milk bread roll.

This dough is exactly the same as my muffin recipe, except for the shape. of sandwich rolls, so I'm going to give a very quick overview of the dough, but the full process can be found in the original video link in the description. It's very simple, we are going to make a quick rube paste, also called tangzhong. heating two tablespoons of flour, two tablespoons of water and four tablespoons of milk, mix and heat until thickened into a paste, then hydrate two and a half teaspoons of yeast in half a cup of milk and half a cup of warm water separately.

I have my stand mixer where you will beat your 525 grams of bread flour, one tablespoon of sugar and two teaspoons of salt, mix them in your stand mixer, add three tablespoons of vegetable oil, your tang zong paste, one egg plus one egg yolk. egg and of course, its delicious yeasty milky stuff, from there you will cover it, give it a respectful name and rise until it doubles for about an hour, then you will remove the life from it and dump it onto a lightly floured work surface. Now from here you will divide it. the dough into nine equal pieces weighing about 80 grams each, once done, take each of those pieces of dough and gently shape them by bringing their ends together in the center, turning them over and rolling them into circles with the seam facing down while maintains constant contact. with your work surface until they become doit balls, repeat with the rest and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Also, don't forget to leave room for your kids to grow, then simply cover it with another inverted baking sheet and let it rest. room temperature for 30 minutes once it's done, give it a light brush with egg wash, which is one egg beaten with a teaspoon of water, then make sure to brush the entire surface of each muffin. Okay, no bald buns, then throw them in a 375 degree oven. for 15 to 18 minutes or until they turn into beautiful, luxurious fluffy tasting bulbs and optionally you can give them a good brush with melted butter right after taking them out of the oven while they are still warm and then let them cool completely on a rack below before le poisson we need a very special sauce, start with a cup of mayonnaise a tablespoon of finely chopped chives a tablespoon of finely chopped dill a very finely chopped shallot a tablespoon of finely chopped capers and last but not least, a two finely diced pickles, depending on their size, this is technically a broom cut which, to be honest, you should know, but if not, it's okay, Dad finally got it right with the zest and juice of a large lemon , season to taste with salt. and pepper and mix all that together until it's well combined, although it's technically a signature tartar sauce, I actually prefer to call it horse sauce even though it's not, don't ask me why because I really don't know.

Okay, now we have our components. we must go to the sea and by this I mean the seafood section of your supermarket, that sounds terrible, it just takes away the romance. The first thing we need to choose is our fish generally most white fish will work but actually prefer haddock or a nice thick cod. You will need about two pounds, which should be roughly equal to one large side of the fish. Cut it into four equal-sized fillets, about the size of your buns. Then once you have the fish, season it generously with kosher. salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature or wrap it overnight in the refrigerator.

This is essentially a light cure. Once cured, you are ready to make the dough. In a large bowl, add a cup and a quarter of all-purpose flour. tablespoon garlic powder 2 teaspoons ground white pepper 2 teaspoons cayenne powder two teaspoons old bay leaf optional give it a little whiskey until it's well combined now, next you'll add a whole egg yes, it will get fuzzy, just for Please stay calm, stay calm, and then gently add a 12-ounce can of beer. It sounds like an infomercial, the way I said that and look, not just any beer, a lager or lager will be the ideal candidate.

Now beat it until it is fully incorporated and that is your batter. please try to avoid any clumps, okay now I want to fill a pot with at least two and a half inches of vegetable oil and make sure it doesn't come up more than three quarters of the way up the pot you use, it's a dangerous heat that sometimes medium heat until it reaches 365 degrees Fahrenheit and is ready to fry. Now your frying station should look like this. Get a small bowl with about a cup of flour, your batter, and of course your frying oil and a landing zone for your fish. take a piece of fish, toss it in the flour to coat it and when I say cover I mean every little crevice, shake off the excess flour, then dip the fish in the batter, coat everything and gently but quickly drop it into the oil .

I do not recommend frying more than three pieces of fish at a time. Now fry your fishy men for three to five minutes or until a beautiful golden brown fish emerges. Spider it out and drain it on a rack and then just repeat. with the rest of your fish for a very beautiful time now that we have our components, let's put this together first, take your rolls, cut them in half and twist them in a pan with a little butter until they are wonderfully almost sensuous, toasted and then hit your bottom bun with one or two. slices of cheese, this is a sharp cheddar, I lightly melted mine with a kitchen torch and then carefully lowered your quiffy boy, hit him with a greasy spoonful of your sauce, look, I like a lot of sauce, it's okay, there's no nothing wrong with that, put it in your heart. wish and finally grab your top bun and crown your king and my goodness look at this cute fish sandwich my buns are shiny fish they look crispy sauce and they look drippy let's see who the winner is here okay I don't even know why what we are doing. this we won, we won too it held together a beautiful beer battered fish I don't know what to say it's good not bad like the other the fish is perfectly cooked it tastes fresh it's not fishy it's oceanic like it should be you have the acidity of this beautiful tartar sauce and you've got all those nice herbs and the onion and of course the fish, that crispy, crunchy, crunchy spiced beer, I mean what more could you ask for?

We can't have a

better

bus even though we are pretty. Lots of cattle, let's try this anyway, from now on, today we have Jojo, he's a new man, well no, he's the same man, he's just a new employee, yes, everyone, club for jojo, the super exciting thing, oh my god, stickers jumping, don't drop the platform. just detect, so fun fact, jojo doesn't like mayonnaise, i don't know why he wanted to be in this one, so god bless you, can i beat him up? He's like number one, my little baby, describe your experience right now, the fish.

It was absolutely amazing, the breading was bad, absolutely amazing, that's after sitting for 45 minutes, this breading is like it wanted to fall off so hard it was horrible, yeah I don't want that in my mind, I feel like most of the people don't want this. However, I know there is one amazing feature about this is that you can throw this away and it won't fall apart. What did I say? What did I say? It's okay just because he hit that post, although it's not really a long story. We're the winners, but

better

episode, you want to know what else is full of crispy fish, man's dreams sandwiched between my voluptuous buns, all good guys, and that's it, so we made our fish, I mean, I think we knew I was going to go over this well, but what I did discover is that fish sandwiches are something that needs to be more at the forefront of things.

They are so good fried fish, two buns, fried fish tacos, I want to see more of that in the world. There are many different ways you can do this too, you can mix and match the different sauces, you can make different types of cheese, like this one, it's kind of a modular sandwich, if you want, you can even change the breading, but I would recommend sticking with the beer dough because it is very good now with everything said if you liked this video or learned something leave a like subscribe and I will see you next time
