Eggless Burger Buns/Eggless Hamburger Buns

Personally for me, baking burger buns at home was quite a dream, i have crossed couple of recipes and dunno why i never tried my hands with them. If you get a chance to make your own burger buns at home, how can you miss it, definitely ' no' rite. Yes this happened for me, as i picked Tame the yeast as this week's theme, i was  supposed to bake some burger buns for this week's blogging marathon .If the host of this month's Tame the yeast theme gives you an eggless version of burger buns how can you resist to it. Hence i tried my hands and got these beauties successfully with spongy and softy texture. This hamburger buns came out extremely awesome, we finished your dinner happily with these cuties.

Curd and baking soda are used to replace the egg here, somehow i felt that this recipe is a keeper and doubled the quantity of ingredients to make almost 10 burger buns. Gayathri of Gayathri's Cook Spot suggested us this incredible hamburger/burger buns. Most of us know very well that Gayathri is an expert in eggless baking and all her bakes speaks on behalf of her how much she loves baking. Everytime i'll go to her space, i'll be surprised to see how beautifully she would have converted a bake prepared with eggs as eggless one. Actually she is also one among those bloggers who pulled me to stop running behind the eggs. Well, coming to this burger buns, one can make easily at home with less efforts and these breads are dangerously addictive when served with anything. Stay tuned to know with what i served this hamburger buns, if you think that i would have served this buns with tikkis, you are absolutely wrong. However we had a super filling dinner with this soft burger buns. Since i ran out of sesame seeds, i just replaced it with black poppy seeds,if you have sesame seeds, just stick with it.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#45.
