it's very long time i do not write any post. Time goes fast and i'm waiting the third child... eh... Lisa's do infact but also the job of a full time dad it's quite hard! :)
In this year i did a lot of pizzas and focaccias, people start to request me for birthdays, convention etc etc, it's not my job but i really love to cook, my grand father was a chef, my mom she's so great in cooking , so in my DNA it's written.
Few months ago a best friend of mine opened a Cafè Risto Pub "Bulldog cafè" in a small place called Casteggio. Casteggio is located in a super wonderfull area, the Oltrepò pavese rich of grapes, sun and hills, it seems a small Toscana. My friend would like to set in the menù the Burgers but in the whole Casteggio he didn't find find any bakery who prepare the perfect brad for the Burger, the BUN.
So he asked me some help... and after many and many test... i mixed a lot off recipes found on web and i've fixed my own one. Ehy Guys! now i'm selling those Buns to my friend and some others cafès in Milan.
At the moment i'm writing , in Milan there is the Burgers fashion... tons of places, bars, pubs, cafè opened with the focus to offer the best burger! I tried most of them and no one give you a home made bun, but most of the time are industrial buns. ( nothing to say for the delicious meet).
So here we go, this my recipe ( i have no time to describe the whole flow process) i will do in some further post, here my ingredients:
For 6 buns:
200 gr of flour (type 1)
400/450gr of water
5 gr salt
6 gr dried beer yeast of 22-23gr of the fresh one.
1 tea spoon of honey
50gr of sugar
25 gr of butter
1 soup spoon of vegetable oil ( i use peanuts one)
1 full egg + 1 yolk ( the other albumen we will keep and use to make buns shiny)
3 Soups spoon of milk ( i use oat drink)
Water in the bowl add yeast, honey and sugar, peanuts oil and mix up.
Add half of flour. Start mixing use a kitchen aid or similar.
In the meanwhile melt the butter in a small pot and let it cool down
Add the 1 and half eggs in the kitchen aid bowl, continuing mixing.
Add Salt
Add the melt butter keep attention to use it once coold down or you caould cook the egg ;) or if you prefer switch the process add first the butter and then the eggs it does not change.
add the rest of the flour and mix for 15 / 20 mins.
Once mixed put the dough in a bowl and let it rise for 90/110 mins ( it depends on weather, temperature etc)
Put the dough on the working table cut pieces of 100 grams and make a small ball.
Put the six balls on the baking thin and let them rise ( covered with cellophane or a cloth) for around 30-45 mins.
Mixe the albumen and milk in a cup
Bring the oven to 250 degrees and before cooking the six balls brush them with the mixed albumen and milk, this will make them brightest.
Have fun! Ask if problems!
Here the results:
