30gm. Unsalted butter, melted

140ml. Warm water

2 tsp. Sesame seeds

For the burger:

100 gram- Bread crumbs
2- Egg white, beaten until frothy
cooking oil for deep frying
Mayonnaise, Cucumber, Tomato, Lettuce, buns, Cheese
For the chicken:

300 gram- Chicken, finely chopped
30 gram- Onion, chopped
1 clove- Garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp. Green onion, thinly sliced
1- Egg yolk
2 tbsp. Bread flour
½ tsp. Pepper powder
Salt to taste

Method:

For the bun:

1. Mix together the flour, salt, sugar and yeast into a large mixing bowl. (If your yeast needs activating in water, follow the instructions on the packet and subtract whatever water you need to use from the 140ml water listed above.

2. Weigh the water into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients, pour in the melted butter and mix it all together to form a dough.

3. Tip the dough out on to a floured work surface and knead it until it has formed smooth, elastic dough.

4. Form the dough into a ball, lightly oil the inside of the mixing bowl and put the ball of dough back into the mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with a plastic-wrap, put the bowl somewhere warm and leave it to prove until it has doubled in size(1-2 hours).

5. When the dough has doubled in size, tip the dough out of the bowl, cut it into quarters and shape each quarter into a ball. Leave the balls of dough on the work-top, cover them with a lightly oiled plastic-wrap and leave them to prove for a second time until they have doubled in size.

6. When the balls of dough have doubled in size, put them onto a lightly oiled baking tray and gently press them down to form the burger bun shape.

7. Brush the top of each disk of dough with some milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

8. Preheat the oven to 170°c.

9. Leave the buns to rise for the final time until they have puffed up (not necessarily doubled in size but close).

10. Then put the tray with the buns into the oven and bake them for 20 minutes.

When they are cooked, take the burger buns out of the oven and leave them on the tray until they have cooled to room temperature (when they come out of the oven they will feel very firm but leaving them to cool on the tray greatly softens the crust).

For the burger:

1. Chicken: Mix all ingredients together until blended. For those into 4 parts, flat round shape.

2. Dip in beaten eggs and roll them in bread crumbs.

3. Heat oil in a wok and deep fry them until cooked on both sides.

4. Take one part of the bun and put mayonnaise, tomato, lettuce, a chicken piece, cucumber, cheese then again mayonnaise and then second part of bun and serve.
