Homemade Burger


My husband has been such a burger-holic & has been taunting me forever for not ever making a burger for him. So naturally I had to make this at some time. Since I had this recipe to make a bun I went ahead with the same & have listed out the same below. But otherwise any burger bun that is available in the stores would also do well. Finally when the burger was served & devoured my husband was at peace & I just hope there will be an increment in my pocket allowanceJ!!

Ingredients

For the bun
  • 2 Cups of plain flour
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. instant  yeast
  • 1 tbsp. butter softened
  • 2 tbsp. Warm milk + warm water required to knead the dough
  • 1 egg + 1 egg white
  • Sesame seeds to sprinkle

For the Burger patty
  • 3 bread slices
  • 250 gms minced meat
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. pepper powder
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded(or any cheese))
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1 tbsp. garlic salt
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp. mayo
  • Few lettuce leaves


For the Bun: In a standing mixer, add milk, water, yeast and sugar. Add egg until incorporated. Add flour and mix completely and then add the butter. (You can add more warm water if you feel the dough is thick. But do not add more flour; this will make your bun tough)
 Knead everything into dough and keep it to rise for about 2-3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the bun on a baking sheet and brush with egg whites on top and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

For the patty: Coarsely grind the bread slices and add 1/3 cup of water and mix nicely. Add 1 egg, minced meat, minced garlic, pepper powder. Shape into thin disc like patties. Put some mozzarella cheese onto the middle of the disc and take another patty and put it on top of the other. Seal the edges using fingers.
Dip the patties, in the egg and then in the flour mixture and keep them in the freezer for 20-25 minutes. Take them out and again dip them in the egg and flour mixture and deep fry until golden on both sides.
Divide the bun and spread some mayo on both sides of the burger. Put some grilled onions, tomatoes, lettuce and juicy patty and enjoooyyyyyyyyyy the bliss!!!!!
