CHARCOAL BURGER BUN

Burgers are one of our comfort foods. Patties of pork, beef, fish or chicken accompanied with slices of cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles smeared with mayonnaise and mustard, ahhhh... just imagining it makes me drool!

After successfully made my charcoal pandesal, i decided to try it in a burger bun and it worked well too! Here is it--

Place dough ingredients in a bowl of stand mixer.

Mix to rough dough, after which start the timer of 15 minutes and knead to smooth dough.

When done, form the dough into a big ball.

Place in a greased bowl and proof for an hour or until double.

When ready, punch the dough.

Divide into 80g each and roll into ball.

Place the bun on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and gently pat the top to flatten.
