As a family we love hamburgers but i am always a little disappointed in the Buns we can buy in the shops, so while we have time now i decided to try out some recipes to get the perfect Hamburger Bun. Here is the recipe for the best so far, i found the orginal recipe on an american site but i have changed a few things less sugar and less fat. Theyn are great the day you make them but can be a bit dry the next day. Go very well with my homemade hamburgers, Recipe is in recipe column, hope you like them.
450 gr plain flour
1pk dry yeast
235 ml Warm water
1 Egg
2 tbl sp Melted butter
1 tbl Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 tbl oil any kind
ove n temp 190 oC
In a large bowl att 75 gr of the flour the yeast and warm water. Give it a good stir and leave for 5 mins so the yeast begins to bubble. Then whisk in the egg, melted butter, sugar and salt. when all whisked in them add the rest of the flour. Mix till you have a sticky dough then knead on a floured surface for about 5 mins till the dough becomes more elastic. Put back in the bowl and cover with plastic, leave in a warm place for 2 hours.
After 2 hours knead the dough again then divide into 12 equals pieces, roll the dough into balls, buns then place on a baking tray with baking paper, space the buns out a bit as they will rise and spread out at this point you can if you like brush the rolls with beaten egg and sprinkle over some sesame seeds . cover the tray with a tea towel and leave again for 1 hour.
After 1 hour they are ready for the oven, bake in a pre heated oven for about 15 - 20 mins, they are ready when they are golden brown and sound hollow if you tap the bottom. Eat as soon as you like and enjoy!
