Quick Sourdough Discard Burger Buns#BreadBakers

These buns are made using sourdough discard and yeast as a leaven. This yields a bun that is sweet, tangy and perfect for burger night party. My favorite burger just got an upgrade. These buns are sweet, soft and come together same day! This is an amazing way to use your sourdough discard!

I have made 7 large buns, like the ones you get in fast food chains, each bun is weighs 124 grams. If you make small ones you will get 10. 

Makes 7 Buns
Ingredients
200 Grams Lukewarm Water
2 Teaspoons Instant Yeast
100 Grams Sourdough Discard
1½ Tablespoons Melted Coconut Oil cooled
1 Large Egg
460 Grams Bread Flour Or All Purpose Flour
40 Grams Granulated Sugar
10 Grams Pink Himalayan Salt
Method

Add the sourdough discard, oil, yeast, sugar, egg and water to the food processor or stand mixer, and give it a mix. Then add the flour  and knead till the dough until it becomes one smooth elastic ball, that is smooth and passes the window pan test. 

Place this into a bowl or box and let it sit at room temperature until it doubles in volume.

Since I kneaded the dough at 1.00pm and wanted buns for dinner, after the dough doubled in volume punched the dough (here the dough rises in about 25 minutes since the weather is quite warm) and kept it in the fridge for slow fermentation (for about 4 hours) Checked after 2 hours again the dough has risen, punched it, again refrigerated it for another 2 hours.

I baked these buns 2 hours before our dinner time. Remove the dough from the refrigerator onto a clean, lightly floured surface and divide the dough into 7 equal pieces ( weighed the dough, each burger bun 124 grams) or depending on the size of bun your would like. Oil baking tray and burger rings.

Shape your dough into round balls let them rest covered for 10 minutes.

Place them into rings. Take your palm and press down the dough so it becomes like a pita shape: round and more thin. These buns really puff up, so don’t be afraid to really squish them down.

Repeat to all your dough pieces and place the tray covered with a damp towel in a warm area to rise double in size.
Preheat your oven to 180°C.

When ready to bake, brush the top of your buns with a little melted butter (optional) and bake in the oven for 16 to 18 minutes. 

Remove them when golden brown, while they are still warm, brush more butter on top to give them a shiny texture and cover with a tea towel to encourage further softness.

Let cool about 10-20 minutes before eating! Serve with any filling of your choice! They keep 7 days in the fridge and reheat beautifully in the toaster or microwave.

These buns are a perfect addition for a burger night, so soft , delish and fluffiness is too good. Do try these since they turned out incredible and will be loved by all.

Salmon Burger With Cocktail Sauce#FishFriday

I am big fan of fish burger, love the McDonald's Filet O Fish. When we visited Ice Land I ordered a big fat salmon fish burger. I went to take a bite the fish filet just slides from the bun to the ground ( can't forget the incident), I cried, but ordered a another one and enjoyed having it.😂 

Making this salmon fish burger was a real pleasure. This is a perfect and filling meal for one. It's so satisfying to have a crispy fat fish burger, freshly made with fresh ingredients.

Serves One
Ingredients
150 Grams Boneless & Skinless Salmon - cut into small cubes
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
1 Green Chilly - minced
A few drops of Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Fresh Bread Crumbs
1 Teaspoon Chopped Flat Parsley
1 Teaspoon Chopped Coriander leaves
¼ Teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1 Tablespoon Scallions- only white part - finely chopped
A Dash Black Pepper powder
A Dash Paprika powder
1 Small Clove Garlic - finely chopped
Sea Salt to taste
For the coating
Rice Flour or Corn Flour - I used rice flour
Panko Breadcrumbs as required
1 Small Egg - lightly beaten
Oil as required for frying
For the Cocktail Sauce
2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon Hot Sauce
A Dash Lemon juice
1 Teaspoon Chopped Coriander leaves or Parsley
1 Teaspoon Finely Chopped Gherkins/Pickled Cucumber
1 Teaspoon Finely Chopped Dill Leaves
2 Leaves Romaine Lettuce
Sliced Tomato and Cucumber
Method

In a chopper add the onion, parsley, coriander leaves, green chilly, salt,, paprika and pepper powder, mayonnaise and bread crumbs, salmon cubes and pulse it two or three times ( the salmon should be in tiny cubes). Take this out into a bowl and add the lemon juice, mix well and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours for the flavors to develop and also at this stage it is difficult to handle. The mix will firm up in the fridge.

Remove from fridge and form into patty. Roll in rice flour and keep this in the freezer for 15 minutes only. 
Heat a non-stick pan/skillet with oil.
Beat an egg lightly add a pinch of salt.
In a plate spread the panko bread crumbs. Keep aside .
Take the cake out from the freezer.

Dip the cake in egg. Roll it in bread crumbs and immediately place it in the frying pan. Fry on medium high heat till golden on both sides, frying for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, adjusting the heat if necessary. Turn and cook until the other side is browned, Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
For the sauce
Mix all ingredients well sauce is ready. Keep this in the refrigerator to chill.

Arrange the buns, cut-side up, on a grill pan an toast them well for about one to two minutes. Apply cocktail sauce on both sides.  

Arrange the lettuce leaves, tomato slices. Then salmon patty on the bun; top with sauce, pickled gherkins and romaine lettuce,

sliced tomato and cucumber, with a sliced of cheddar cheese and some more sauce.

Enjoy!!
