Homemade Burger Buns

Making burger buns at home is not difficult but you need to be careful about a few things. Patience and practice are two essential ingredients along with the rest of the ingredients to bake good bread at home. 
I am not in favour of the complicated process of baking. For this recipe also there is an easy path to accomplish the great texture of the buns without using a machine. 
Come with me and follow the process and you will achieve soft fluffy airy burger buns in your home kitchen.

Instructions

  • Mix 40g of flour with 200g of water in a pan. Mix well until no lumps remain. Turn on medium heat and keep stirring until mixture thickens to a paste. (Be careful and keep the whisk moving all the time when cooking). Let it cool before adding to the bread dough. 
  • Add flour, sugar, salt, dry yeast, powdered milk to a mixing bowl and mix gently with dough hook attachment at a low speed. 
    Add in milk and Tangzhong, and knead till all comes together into a rough dough. Add butter (room temperature) and mix at low speed.
    Slowly turn up the speed to high and mix until all dough sticks together.
  • Take the dough and fold it around and underneath itself shaping a smooth ball. Place dough in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 40 minutes to an hour till its double in size. 
    Test the dough by poking your finger down into the middle. If the dough does not spring back, it is ready.
    Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. 
  • Take one piece of dough and fold it into a ball. 
    Place them on a baking tray, lined with a parchment sheet and let it rise the second time.
    Brush with some milk and sprinkle some sesame seeds on the top. Bake in the oven, preheated 180* C for 25-30 minutes. 
  • Bake till golden brown on the top. Take the buns out of the oven and rub some soft butter on the top. Let the buns cool completely before slitting in the centre to make burgers.
