Domino's Style Burger Pizza

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.

Ragi Dosa | Finger Millet Dosa

For the longest time I was apprehensive about introducing millets to our diets.Long back I tried making dosa with Sama/Barnyard Millet and it turned out to be a bad experiment.Maybe that is what kept me from trying out anything new but I kept hearing about its health benefits and wanted to try it out again.

Saw this video on YouTube(where else!)and it looked very simple and too good that I immediately purchased some Ragi and soaked it to try making Ragi dosa the very next day.The process is indeed simple and very similar to how we would soak and grind for regular idli/dosa.The batter fermented really well and the dosa too came out wonderful,light and crispy.

Paired with a coconut chutney it made for a delicious breakfast.I have also tried making Ragi Masala Dosa and that's just taking it a level up in taste department.Do try out this recipe and enjoy the health benefits of Ragi!

Eggless Triangular Lamingtons

There was a time during earlier days of blogging where I used to bake very regularly.All were trial recipes as I was still in my learning stage,to bake.I remember the excitement and the joy when I shared my baked goodies with friends,to hear good things about my baking,that motivated me to keep on baking.I believe those trials helped a great deal in my journey as without that I wouldn't have any idea about baking,hits or misses.

Now when someone asks me why the cake sunk or why it doesn't cook properly,I know exactly why because it has happened with me too!

Anyway,today's recipe,as usual is a super simple one chosen by my toddler.We watch a lot of cooking videos together,he loves watching Masterchef Australia with me :) and when we came across this video,he asked "amma can you make that"? Of course I had to,though I knew very well he would eat just a piece as he doesn't have a sweet tooth at all.Although I have to say,he loved this cake.

It is a basic eggless cake,baked in a sheet pan and then cut into triangular shapes,dipped first in a chocolate sauce and then in dessicated coconut.It does sound complicated but believe me,it isn't.Make it for a party and enjoy the ooh and aah's :)
