Homemade Wholemeal Burger Buns


Wanna share one of my encounter with my readers..
This happened in a supermarket in Singapore.
There's a small bakery in there, and there were 2 bakers,
the bread that they are selling are premium and pricey..
I saw one of the baker opened the refrigerator to get the bread dough out,
and guess what?
the dough dropped onto the floor...
OK..it's ok..as long as he doesn't use it..
But to my horror, he actually picked it up and started to knead it on the worktop!
I can't believe it!
Maybe I shouldn't expect much from outside food,
but I'm quite particular with hygiene when it comes to food handling.
Can anyone accept this? HAHA..I doubt so?

So the thing that I wanna say is...
Nothing beats homemade bread!
Free of preservatives..
Free of bread improver...
Free of artificial flavourings..
But....filled with love!

I love to see theses "babies" rise...

  1. What a coincidence, just last week I made this wholemeal burger. Your buns looks very soft and yummy and the inside filling also looks too delicious.

  2. Coraine, what you saw unfortunately happens much much more often than what you think. That's why I prefer not to see what the cooks are doing behind the kitchen's door ;).

    Your rolls looks delicious, I need to bake more too, but then, it's quite easy to get inexpensive, delicious rolls here...
