This Burger Recipe covers everything needed to make delightful veggie burgers from scratch, including how to prepare and pan-fry delicious homemade vegetable patties. And because no veggie burger is complete without its own special sauce,
You all know about my second love as I mentioned it earlier also, yes, ‘ baking ‘ and as you know I try to make everything possible at home and believe me it’s fun. But it all depends on how you want to go about it …burger buns are easily available at any grocery store but I rarely use them as I like to make my own, if you also want to try it out at home follow all the steps carefully and you will get the same good looking buns …
For Home Made Burger Bun ...
Ingredients:
400 gms…….All Purpose Flour/ Maida
50gm…………Butter
2 tbsp………..Sugar
Salt to taste
Warm Milk as required
1 1/2 tbsp ……Yeast
Oil to grease the bowl
2 tbsp…………Milk for brushing on top
Sesame Seeds for Sprinkling on top
Method:
1.Take Warm milk in a bowl. Add in butter to that and allow it to melt down. Now add in sugar and yeast and mix well. Let it stand for 5-7 mins till it rises and fluff ups.(In my previous post I explained the importance of temperature at this stage , again just to remind you that temperature is one of the most important things when it comes to working with yeast. Too hot, and it will kill your yeast. Too cold and it won’t activate it or will make it slow. So very careful about temperature .)
2. Now take flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Pour the yeast water in it and mix well and form into a soft dough.
3. Now grease another large bowl with oil. Put this dough in that and cover it with a wet cloth. Leave it to rise for a couple of hours till they have risen in double.
4. Punch the air out of it and knead it for 5 mins. This step is very important the more effort you put in kneading more fluffy bun you will get .
5. Divide the dough into equal portion and form smooth balls out of it.
Arrange it in a Oiled parchment lined baking sheet and allow it to rise again for 30 mins. This is again a very important stage ‘ second rising’ give some time to your dough balls to rise again double in size . You really need patience when you are making bread . Making good fluffy bread is an art .
6. Preheat the oven to 220 Degree C/ 450 Degree F.
7. Brush the risen dough with milk and sprinkle some sesame seeds on it.
8. Bake it for 20-30 mins till the top gets nice colour.
9. Remove it and You can brush the top with some butter if you want and use it accordingly.
