Burger bread / hotdog roll no egg

Long overdue post ... this one. I have been thinking of putting up this one for a long time, as all in family love this freshly made version of the burger bread rolls which are not difficult to make at all. They do take sometime as all recipes containing yeast as they need time to rise and proof as well but apart from those intervals these are pretty easy to do and healthier as well as they are made of wholemeal flour. Asian people can use wholemeal i.e normal Atta.

This recipe would give you about 8 rolls.

The ingredients you need are -

Wholemeal flour - 3 cups

Butter - 1 Tablespoon + some for brushing

Milk - 1/2 cup warm

Water - 1 1/2 cups

Yeast - 1 table spoonful (use dry active yeast)

Sugar - 1 tea spoon

Salt - 1/2 teaspoon 

Sesame seeds - 1 spoonful

(If you are vegan do not bother adding milk , use only warn water instead.)

Add yeast to the warm milk + water mix and keep aside for it to get frothy. This will take about 10 minutes as depends on the room temperature as well.

Meanwhile add 1 table spoonful butter to the wholemeal flour and mix well with fingertips. 

After its been mixed well properly this will look like this.

When ready the yeast mixture will look like this frothy on the top.

Now keep adding this liquid mixture to the wholemeal flour mix little by little. You have to make a very loose sticky dough like this (shown in the picture). If you find water too less please add some more water to get desired consistency.

Now cover this witha cling film and keep aside to rise at least double the size. This took about 2 hours for me.

After this has risen to double and you have to knead again really well as all the air bubbles need to go away.

and mixture wouldn't stick to the sides anymore rather would feel very smooth to roll.

Now we have to divide the mixture in equal parts. Cut it into two equal parts. Smaller portions are easier to handle.

I divided into two batched of four one in round shapes for burgers and another batch a little longer shape for hot dogs.

 Preheat the oven at 200 degrees and arrange the burgers/ hot dog dough in the baking trays

Cover them with cling film and keep in a warm place to rise again for 3.-45 minutes

After they rise they would look like this 

I baked them for 25 minutes and when they came out they looked like this

Now, This is the time when I brushed them with some butter.

 

Here is the ready platter of my home baked burger/ hot dog buns ready.
