These soft yoghurt burger buns are soft, slightly chewy and easy to make at home. The yoghurt and milk give them a light richness without being heavy, while the high heat bake creates a golden crust with a tender centre. Shaped into round buns with a signature criss-cross top or finished with nigella seeds, they’re perfect for filling with the Persian Lamb Burger Patties, chevaps or anything saucy. A simple dough that proves beautifully and delivers bakery-style results without the fuss.
