Home Made Burger

My niece Lydia & I tried out this home made burger recipe from Chef Bob of Hotel UiTM Shah Alam one evening. After we finished with the meat part, then only we realised that we didn't have any bun to go with it. So I looked in Alex Goh's book and tadaaa... Try it.. Very simple and easy to make.

Burger

Ingredients:

• Minced Beef/Lamb/Chicken
• Chopped Carrot
• Chopped Onion (I used yellow onion)
• Breadcrumbs
• Salt & Pepper
• Egg

*I added some garlic and chopped celery as well

Mix everything together, shape them as you like, and refrigerate. Take them out once you want to grill them.

Method

2. Add C & knead to form a smooth dough.
3. Let it prove for about 45 min or double in size.
   
4. Divide the dough into 80g portions, mold into balls and put into greased pan.
5. Let them prove for 15 min, then flatten slightly and continue to let them prove for 30 min.
6. Brush with water and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.

Potato Bread

Always love Giant's potato bread. Very soft and delicious.. Found a recipe by Alex Goh and tried it one evening.
The turn out was delicious, and as I love custard, I put extra on top of the bun before eating it.. yumyum...
The best part of it was when my youngster couldn't wait to get his hand on the buns.. my loyal fan.. hehe..

3. Make the dough into a ball. Put it in a bowl and cover with clear film. Put in a warm place to prove for 45 min.
4. Make the dough into a ball again and let it rest for further 15 min.
5.Divide the dough into several 30g pieces, mould them into balls and put then on 2 greased 23cm square baking pans. Makes 16 pieces per pan.
6.Cover and leave to prove for 40 min or till double the size.
7. Brush with egg wash and pipe the custard to make a cross on top.
8. Bake at 180 degree C for 25 min on the low shelf of the oven.















I used my BM, so I just dumped (A), start the machine, then (B). Add (C) when it's well blended and already form a dough. Let it sit in the BM for the 1st prove.

** As the dough is a bit sticky, you can put some flour on your hands before you starts to make it into balls.
