I quite often make a double batch of Rissoles, one night we have them with potatoes and salad and the next as Burgers. However, my husband insists on fresh burger buns and this puts our 'one shop a fortnight' system into disarray.
His brilliant idea was for me to make them, and it really was easy, although my misbehaving toddler made my afternoon, one of those that needed a gin after!
I'm very proud of myself, they were an absolute triumph!
Whats in the basic breadroll dough?
This makes 16 rolls, which for a family of 3 is excessive, I would tend to 1/2 the recipe or par-bake half of them and pop them in the freezer, and then next time we're having burgers I'll just pop them into the oven for 71/2 minutes and viola! Fresh burger buns!!
400ml Spring or Filtered Water
2 Tbs Oil (Olive or Rice Bran)
1 Tspn SeaSalt
4C High Grade White Flour (or wholemeal or a mix of both)
2Tbs Manuka Honey or Sugar
2 Tspns Bread Machine Yeast
2 Tbs Milk Powder
How do you make them?
Throw everything in the order of ingredients into the breadmaker and switch on to a dough setting, once its risen (and I usually forget it about and by the time I've got to it, its risen nearly to the top!) Take out of breadmaker, divide into 16 balls (this mixture is quite wet) and I kneaded in quite a bit of flour so that they weren't so sticky. Bake in a moderate oven 180 degrees C for about 15 minutes.
