Burger Buns

 

   

   

Burger Buns are easy to make. Instead of buying them we can bake them and have them fresh. We only need to decide on what fillings we want to layer on them. The combinations are endless. But first...bake the buns. I have a lot of pandan plants in my garden so I just use the leaves to encircle the dough for baking. After baking I changed the pandan leaves to fresh ones.

Ingredients: (to yield 8 buns of about 73g each)

• 150 g warm milk
• 3 g yeast
• 30 g sugar
• 325 g bread flour
• 1 egg
• 6 g salt
• 40 g butter

Method:

• Activate the yeast by adding warm milk and sugar to the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast on top.

• Once bubbles have formed add bread flour, salt and egg to the mixer.

• Knead the dough till a ball is formed.

• Add butter and continue to knead till window pane is reached.

• Proof the dough till double in size.

• Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 pieces (or 7 pieces for bigger buns).

• Place the dough onto cake liners and place them on a baking tray.

• Let them proof till double in size.

• Egg wash the buns and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.

• Bake the dough in a pre-heated oven at 175 deg. C for 18 min.

• Remove the buns from the baking tray to a metal rack to be cooled down.
