Nutrition per serving
Step 1/ 3
- 25 ml milk
- 15 g butter
- 67½ ml water (cold)
- ¼ egg
- 125 g flour
- 2½ g salt
- 3¾ g sugar
- 2 g active dry yeast
- olive oil (for greasing)
- pot (small)
- bowl (small)
- whisk
- bowl (large)
- rubber spatula
Place milk and ⅔ of the butter in a small saucepan and heat until the butter has melted. In a small bowl, whisk water (use a little less, so the dough will not be too liquid) and one egg until well combined. Add flour, salt, sugar and dry yeast to a large bowl and mix well using a whisk. Add the milk-butter mixture to the water-egg mixture and mix well. The mixture should now be at the perfect lukewarm temperature, ready to be added to the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Then stir using a rubber spatula just until combined and the flour is no longer visible. Brush the surface of the dough with a little olive oil or butter, cover and let rise in a warm place, about 1.5-2 hours or until the dough has doubled in size.
Step 2/ 3
- flour (for dusting)
- pastry cutter
- parchment paper
- baking sheet
- kitchen towel
When doubled, transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and gently knead to release air from the dough. Shape into a loose ball with only as much flour as needed, then divide into equal-sized (or equal-weight, if you want to be precise with a scale) pieces, making around 6-8 buns, depending on how big you want your burger buns. After rising, the dough will weigh about 1 kg. That would then be about 125 g per dough ball for 8 buns or 166 g for 6 buns. Then shape each into firm balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for another approx. 30 min. until they look plumper.
Step 3/ 3
- ¼ egg
- 7½ g butter
- sesame seed (optional)
- oven
- bowl (small)
- pastry brush
Preheat the oven to 220°C/428°F top/bottom heat. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with a dash of water until well combined. Brush the mixture evenly onto the dough pieces, sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired, and then bake for approx. 15-20 min. on the middle rack until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush directly with a thin layer of melted butter. Let cool, then slice and use for hamburgers and sandwiches of any kind. Enjoy!
Enjoy your meal!
