Homemade fast food

The most important thing in a burger is the bun, and the best one is one baked at home. With such a bun, we can serve burgers in different versions: beef, with grilled halloumi or with crispy panko-coated chicken.

The burger is the most important part of the burger.

What is panko?  Panko is a Japanese flaky coating,  equivalent to breadcrumbs, except that it is softer in flavor and crunchier. Panko also has the advantage of absorbing less fat during frying than traditional breadcrumbs. Panko can be purchased at oriental food stands.
