Let me tell You first of all. There no hard and fast rule for doing this tutorial. You can modify which should at last look visually good.
Open a document 600px X 400px. Create a new layer. Next, create an ellipse as shown and fill it with #9b5524 color.

By using the ellipse marquee tool, create a ellipse like below.

Invert the selection (Ctrl+Shift+I), and hit delete key to remove the area.

Now duplicate the layer.

Select the newly created layer and apply transform (ctrl+T). Select scale and scale down to 85% - 90%. No hard and fast rule. Scale a little so that an outline like below can be seen. Change the layer style to “Screen”

Repeat the same by duplicating an transforming a new layer. Apply the same layer stlye. It would look like this.

Now create a rounded rectangle, same as the width of the top (half bun) by selecting the shape tool (ctrl+U). From the options on top , change the radius to 30 px. Fill with the same color we used for the first layer.
Now using the transform tool (Ctrl+T) select the “warp” and shape is like below.
Now duplicate as we did for the top part, by duplicating layers > transforming> change layer style to “Screen”
Create an ellipse as below with #ffe0b1 filled.

Now select the dark colored layer and the ellipse layer (#ffe0b1). Duplicate both and place it on top of these layers.
Change the color of the dark layer to #6d4732 and the ellipse to #855b45.

Now we have to make sliced tomatoes.
Step 1. Draw a ellipse shape with #ef9a5a.
Step 2. Apply Strokes, from the Layer style> stroke size to 8px. Change the color of strokes to #d60000.
Step 3. Select shapes > Custom shapes> select flower6, color it with #ffd193
Step 4. Select all the layers and by using the transform menu scale it vertically to 50%.
Step 5. Create a rectangle shape of 10px height and apply Transform >Warp. Move the bottom handles down to get the concave shape.
Step 6. Place the concave layer below all the tomato layers.

By changing the colors, it will look like cucumber, blueberry….. or whatever you wish to put.
Now lets make leaf. For that we need to create a rectangle and fill it with green color (#48cd00).

From the filters menu select > Distort > Wave. And apply the following settings. You will get a wave effect.

Select the dodge tool from the tools. Make the brush size to 40 and Exposure to 100%. Now on the “up wave” area move the dogge brush 3-4 times. You will get the result shown below. Repeat the same for the rest.

Now lets create a cheese slice. Make a sleek rectangle shape, height around 8-10px with #fde289 color. Next draw another bigger rectangle of 70px height, and apply #fcd86a .Now add perspective by right clicking the bigger rectangle as shown below. Select perspective and change the ” H ” (horizontal skew) to 35. Select both the layers and merge it. (ctrl+E)

Now apply a wave with the below given settings.

Arrange tomatoes one by one on top of the cheese (4 -5 nos.)

Now repeat the same by laying the cheese slice again and on top arranging the cucumber and blueberry.

Now on top pour some jam. For that make a shape as below and fill it with #971112 color.

Bring the top part of the bun closer down. Arrange all properly and tighten it.
Make small dots on the top part of the bun to spread some sesame seeds.
Hope You enjoyed doing it.
