Eggless Burger Buns

Baking bread is really satisfying and makes me feel happy . This recipe is given by Gayathri , for the 2nd day of our Blogging Marathon - Taming the yeast challenge. For details and pictures go here Each one has a different recipe for making Eggless Burger Buns and this again is a different one. Adding curd to bread is something I had never used. The curd in the bread give a unique taste and flavour. The bread turnout out so soft and perfect.

Ingredients
1 Tablespoon Butter
1/4 Cup Curd + a pinch of Baking Soda
1./3/4 Cup Flour
1/8 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Luke Warm Water
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Tablespoon Instant Yeast

Oven Temperature:160C
Rack-Centre
Method

In a bowl add flour, salt, sugar, butter, yeast, curd and baking powder mix well. Add water to knead a soft and slightly sticky dough. On a counter, knead the dough for 10 minutes to make it soft, silky and smooth. Place the dough in a clean and oiled bowl, keep it covered until double. When the dough is double in volume, transfer it to counter and punch it down. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts.

Roll each ball by cupping it inside the palm and rolling it in circles until you get a smooth finish. Place the balls on a greased baking tray with enough place for rising.

Flatten each ball. Keep it covered with a towel until it has doubled. Preheat oven to 180C.

When the balls are ready, brush the top with milk and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Place the tray in the centre rack and bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden.

Rotate the tray in between to avoid burning of the corner buns and even browning. Remove the tray from oven and brush the buns with melted butter. Allow it to cool completely before handling.

We had these burgers with something interesting. To know what is .... look out for the post tomorrow. We relished these buns. Thanks Gayathri for this recipe.
