I have been planning to make burgers from scratch forever now. Finally I achieved this grand ambition last month when we had the Burger theme for the Blogging Marathon. Smart girl that I am, I immediately saved up the burger bun recipe for Bake-a-thon. So here it is.

Recipe from here.

Makes 4 buns

WHAT WE NEED

Lukewarm water                          1/4 – 1/2 cup

Butter, room temp                       1 tbsp

Egg, small                                       1

All purpose flour                          1  3/4 cup

Sugar                                                2 tbsp

Salt                                                    3/4 tsp

Instant yeast                                  1 1/2 tsp

Melted butter                                 2 tbsp

WHAT TO DO

• Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl to form a dough
• Set aside in a greased bowl for an hour or till the dough doubles in bulk
• Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 parts
• Roll each part into a round bun and place them on a greased baking tray
• Set aside for an hour or till the buns appear puffy
• Preheat the oven to 190 C
• Brush the buns with half of the melted butter
• Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes till the top of the buns are golden brown
• Remove from the oven and brush with the balance melted butter
• Cool the buns on a wire rack
• Enjoy with a patty of your choice!
