Hullo!
Yesterday was Sunday, and it's been a long time I want to make my own burger bun. So I got this Indonesian blog, Dapurnya Rina, from a mailing list I joined into. She said in this blog that the bun's recipe actually from Smittenkitchen(which actually got from another source also). So I decided to make burger for Sunday lunch.
Since I don't want to keep so much bread, I made just half of the recipe. The recipe I post below is for one recipe, so if you want just half of it, just cut down all the measurement in half. The buns came out soft and I love it.
The note is don't make any buns to close to meal time. My kids, and my hubby, kept on wandering around the kitchen asking whether the lunch was ready or not. Sometimes they just hang around staring without saying anything. But it's not a new thing in our home. It's not just once or twice men in my home were staring at the fridge and food cupboard as if they were watching TV.
The burger patty I made from this recipe with a little adjustment. It's actually very good, but it makes me having an idea of adding one ingredient in it. If I make it again later(and turn out good), I will post it. (otherwise, I won't post, he he). Oh and I grated the onion because I got this idea from Katjaskitchen. Good idea. Since I ran out of mayonaise, I just put some shredded mozarella on the patty while it's still hot. Put the veggie you like and there it is, the Sunday burger lunch.
I'm so glad I can make this 'fast food' by myself, where I can be sure that the ingredients are fresh, healthier and insyaAllah Halal. You know, since we moved here to NZ we can not just drop by to any fast food restaurant expecting all food are Halal. I told my sons that most of them are not Halal even though the restaurant is just like in Jakarta. So it is so nice to give my kids a treat once in a while. But of course from more trusted hands, which is mine, he he.
Ingredients:
1 cup warm water
3 tablespoons warm milk
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs (1 for the dough and 1 for the egg wash)
3 cups bread flour
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Sesame seeds (optional)
Directions:
- In a bowl, combine one cup warm water, the milk, yeast and sugar. Let stand until foamy, about five minutes. Meanwhile, beat one egg.
- In a large bowl, whisk flours with salt. Add butter and rub into flour between your fingers, making crumbs. Stir in yeast mixture and beaten egg until a dough forms. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. The dough will be on the sticky side so it can be a bit messy at first, but keep on kneading and it will get better.
- Shape dough into a ball and leave it in the bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, one to two hours. (I just put it in warmed closed oven)
- Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Divide dough into 8 equal parts(or 4 parts if you make half recipe). Gently roll each into a ball and arrange few centimetres apart on baking sheet. Put in warmed and closed oven again, or cover them with plastic on top and let buns rise in a warm place for one to two hours.
- Set a large shallow pan of water on oven floor. Preheat oven to 200C with rack in center. Beat remaining egg with one tablespoon water and brush some on top of buns. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using. Bake, turning sheet halfway through baking, until tops are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Makes 8 burger buns
Burger patty
Ingredients:
500g beef mince
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 egg, light beaten
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 small onion, grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Directions:
- Add all ingredients into a bowl and then use your hands to make sure the mixture is well combined.
- Make round patties about 1cm thick and 12cm wide.
- The source said that you can use baking paper or cling wrap between the patties to stack up so they don't stick to each other and they store well in freezer too.
- The patties will shrink a little when they are cooked.
- Cook until cooked through.
- Put in the burger bun with all sauce and vegetables of your choice
- Enjoy!
