Recipe - Home Made Burgers With Freshly Baked Baps

One half Onion
1 Clove garlic
150 g Lean mince beef; (5oz)
1 small Beaten egg
2 tablespoon Fresh breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper
1 Pinches cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon Tomato ketchup

FOR THE BAPS
680 g Strong white flour; (1
1/2lb)
1 Sachet east blend yeast
One half teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar
430 ml Lukewarm milk and water
mixed; (15fl oz)
1 Beaten egg
2 tablespoon Sesame seeds

For the baps:

Mix flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a bowl. Add mik and water and mix in
with fingers. Turn onto floured board and knead for 5 minutes–until dough
is soft and elastic. Put dough back into bowl and cover with a damp tea
towel. Leave until doubled in size (about 1 hour). Knock dough back and
divide into about 10 portions. Shape each one into around ball, then
flatten out like a bap. Put onto baking trays, leaving plenty of room for
them to rise. Leave to rise until doubled in size (about 30 minutes). Press
your thumb into the centre of each bap (this will make the surface
flattish, rather than domed). Brush with beaten egg and scatter over samsmw
seeds. Bake in a hot oven at 220øC/425øF/gas mark 7 for 15 minutes. Put on
a wire cooling rack and cover with a dry tea towel. This will help to keep
them sot rather than crusty.

For the burgers:

Chop the onion finely. Heat a nonstick frying pan and spray with oil.
Saut‚ onions over a gentle heat until transparent. Add crushed garlic.

Break up minced beef with a fork in a bow. Add the saut‚ed onions, beaten
egg, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper, chilli powder and tomato sauce. Mix
together and squeeze with your hands. If the mixture feel very wet at this
stage, add more breadcrumbs.

Divide into two and shape into burgers on a floured board.

Heat a non–stick frying pan and spray with oil. Fry burger for 5 minutes on
each side.

To serve:

Slice the baps and insert the burger, adding cut or sliced up gherkins, American
mustard and tomato ketchup as required. Garnish with salad for a
nutritionally balanced meal.
