Ever since the lockdown,one thing I have tried doing is to make our Friday dinners exciting by recreating a restaurant style dish so that we don't miss out on our weekly outings to our favourite restaurants.Though both are extremely different,homemade food has it's charm,isn't it?Some days it's pizza and on some it's Chole-Bhature.
Yesterday however I decided to try something new.New as in,something we haven't yet tasted in a restaurant.We have tasted Burger and we have tasted Pizza...this is a mix of both- Burger Pizza.Domino's has this on their menu and when I saw CookingShooking video on making this at home in a very simple method,I didn't think twice and started the preparations early evening as I was making the Burger buns from scratch too.You can try this with store bought burger buns too,to save time.
I tried the spiced Paneer filling for myself and Sausage filling for Ajay and Arjun.It can be entirely up to your choice.I also added some broccoli as we love it here.

Ingredients
Warm water - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 1 1/2 tsp
Yeast - 1 1/2 tsp
Maida - 1 1/2 cups
Salt - 1 tsp
Milk powder - 2 tbsp
Melted butter - 1 tbsp
Warm water - if required,to knead the dough
Method
Mix together the warm water and the sugar well.Add the yeast and let it proof for 3-5 minutes.
Whisk together flour,salt and milk powder.
Using the proofed yeast,make a dough adding more water if required and knead into a smooth dough.
Add the melted butter and knead again for 3-5 minutes.
Let the dough proof for 45 minutes to an hour.
Once the dough is doubled,degas the dough and divide into 5 equal portions.
Make into small even balls,using your palms to smoothen the dough.Cover the dough balls with a wet towel for 3-5 minutes.
Flatten each ball by patting the center(6-7cm diameter),keep the edges intact like a pizza,this will ensure the buns will not puff up while baking.
Prepare all the dough balls the same way.Cover with a wet towel and let it proof for an hour.
Preheat oven to 200C.
Apply milk on top of the buns and sprinkle herbs and seasoning.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the buns are golden brown,cooked and sound hollow when tapped.
Brush some butter on top of each buns and immediately cover with a towel.This method helps in trapping the steam which would result in super soft buns.
