Gosh! Teddy Bear Burgers
Recipe by Gemma Ogston www.gemswholesomekitchen.com in conjunction with www.goshfood.com
Serve with sweet potato chips or crisps for a hearty lunch box treat!
Makes: 4 Burgers
Ingredients:
• 2 packets of Gosh! Beetroot Burgers
• 1 large tomato
• Lettuce
• Gherkins, sliced
• 4 slices of cheese (vegan alternative e.g. Violife)
• Favourite burger sauce
For the Teddy Bear Bread Rolls:
• 350g of strong bread flour
• 1 tbsp of olive/vegetable oil
• 3g of quick action yeast (1/2 a sachet)
• Pinch of salt
• 210ml of warm water
• Milk of choice or beaten egg for a wash
To decorate:
• Seeds (e.g. chia, poppy, sesame)
• A few currants/raisins for eyes
• Grated cheese of choice
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan).
2. For the bread rolls, mix everything together in a
large bowl until it forms a firm dough. Add a little
water if it is too dry or a little flour if it is too sticky.
3. Put the dough on a floured surface and push your
hand into it, gather into a ball and repeat. Do this
for about 5 minutes.
4. Then separate and shape the dough into 4 teddy
bear rolls and then separate each of these into 2 (you
will be using 2 bits per bear.)
5. To make the teddy bears, roll one of the 2 pieces
into a ball for the bear’s body and put it on a greased
baking tray and flatten a little. Then, break the other
piece in half. Roll one piece into a sausage shape
about 15cm long and the other into a small ball.
6. Using your egg/milk wash and a brush, brush
one side of the small ball and stick it on the body to
make the head.
7. Then break off a small piece of the sausage shape
and stick it on the face and pinch it to make a snout.
Cut 2 small pieces for the ears and then 4 bigger
ones for the legs. Position them as you like and stick
them on the same way. Using a sharp knife score
the ends of the legs to make them look like paws
with claws.
8. Now cover with a tea towel and leave somewhere
warm for about an hour until they double in size.
9. Next decorate them by using currants for eyes
and the seeds and cheese on the bear’s body. Use
the egg/milk wash first so that the seeds stick.
10. Bake them for about 15-20 minutes until they
are golden brown and then leave to cool.
11. While the bears are cooling, turn the oven down
to 190°C (170°C fan) and then cook the Gosh!
Beetroot Burgers for 20 minutes in the oven.
12. Once they are cooked, very carefully slice the
teddy bear bread roll through his belly lengthways
so you will still see the bear shape. Add a Gosh!
Beetroot Burger, lettuce, slice of tomato, gherkins,
slice of cheese and burger sauce.
13. Serve with some homemade chips, sweet potato
fries or crisps for a perfect teddy bears picnic!
