Burger Buns
With barbeque season now upon us, our Executive Pastry Chef Xavier Torne shares his recipe for homemade burger buns. Burger Buns (makes 8). Ingredients:
250g strong flour
65ml warm water
75g eggs (1 and a ½ eggs)
5g salt
25g sugar
7g dry yeast
70g butter
Method:
Pour the dry yeast into the warm water (about 35c) and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Pour the strong flour, eggs, salt, sugar and yeast mix into a bowl and mix at a slow speed for 15 minutes.
Add the soft butter to the dough and mix well.
Cover with cling film and let it prove. Then portion it into 70g pieces and let them prove again. When complete, shape the pieces into firm balls and prove again until they are triple their size. Egg wash the buns, sprinkle some sesame seeds and Maldon salt on top and bake at 180c for 12-15 minutes.
