Homemade hamburger

This recipe was #InspiredByHarry

In the prologue of “Finding Freedom“, the author Omid Scobie reveals that “Happy Meal” was one of prince Harry’s favourite moments with her mother, princess Diana, who fought to raise him like a normal child.

In this spirit @Guendolyn79 tries to recreate an “Happy Meal” for the wonderful adult he is now. So this Hamburger is healthier but nevertheless tasty and totally homemade with selected and refined ingredients that reflect his work: QUALITY ABOVE ALL.

Dont’ forget we have a foundraiser #inspiredByMeghan #inspiredByHarry running till the 15th of september, help sub-african girls to go to school, follow this link and donate!!

DIRECTIONS FOR THE BUNS

Mix together the flour with the yeast and sugar.

Mix warm water and warm milk together.

Add the soft butter and then, little by little milk+water .

Knead well and add the salt.

Knead again for 10 minutes.

With a knife, do a cross in the dough, cover with a wet tea towel and leave to rest for 2 hours.

COMPOSE YOUR HAMBURGER

Grill the hamburgers. Cut the hot buns and put the cheese slices when it’s still hot, so the cheese melts.

Fill the bun with the hamburger, tomatoes, onion rings and salad if you want…
