 <\/em>I made turkey burgers the other night.<\/p>\n

They were great- but I didn\u2019t have any good buns<\/p>\n

in the freezer and I didn\u2019t want to run out and buy <\/p>\n

any- so I decided to make some.<\/p>\n

I had about a cup of tempura batter that I had made up<\/p>\n

the night before- and I\u2019d used skim milk and an egg in the<\/p>\n

batter, so I refrigerated it and decided to use it in the buns.<\/p>\n

PLUS- my starter was really in need of being used.  I had neglected<\/p>\n

it lately and was just starting to feed it up, but I had a LOT of starter<\/p>\n

and didn\u2019t want to throw it away so I decided to make sourdough<\/p>\n

ham\/turkey burger buns!<\/p>\n

\"008\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They really turned out delicious!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the recipe.<\/p>\n

1 cup sourdough starter (recently fed 1 cup water\/1 cup flour)<\/p>\n

4 cups AP or plain flour<\/p>\n

1 tsp rapid rise yeast <\/p>\n

4 Tbs. melted butter<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup milk, scalded then cooled<\/p>\n

small egg, beaten<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup HOT water<\/p>\n

2 tsp salt ( I like a salty bread- you could cut this down if you don\u2019t)<\/p>\n

The milk and egg were the base of the tempura batter.  So if you have<\/p>\n

some left over- feel free to use it in their place!\"Smile\"<\/p>\n

I made a sponge with the starter, 1 cup flour and the milk.<\/p>\n

I mixed it up and left it for a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

It was bubbly when I came back, so I added everything else and mixed<\/p>\n

it all up, oiled the bowl and left it to raise\/rest for a bit.   About 10 minutes<\/p>\n

later, I came back and folded it about 5 times, covered it and left it again-<\/p>\n

this time for 20 minutes.  Then I folded it again for 5 or 6 times- it was smooth<\/p>\n

and pliant- I placed it back in the bowl and let it raise for 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

Then I shaped the dough into balls about the size of my fist, flattened them <\/p>\n

down with the palm of my hand and using a bread press made slits across the tops.<\/p>\n

\"007\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used parchment paper to bake on and sprinkled semolina flour on the paper before<\/p>\n

placing the buns on top.<\/p>\n

I let this raise for about 25 minutes ( suppertime was drawing near) and then baked in<\/p>\n

a preheated oven 375 F for about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"009\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They are so good.<\/p>\n

\"010\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And so were the turkey burgers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
