Burger Buns
-
Begining
In a bowl, mix yeast, sugar, and warm milk + water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
-
Add flour, salt, egg, and softened butter. Knead into a soft dough.
-
Knead 8–10 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise 1 hour or until doubled.
-
Divide dough into 6 equal pieces, shape into balls, and place on a baking tray.
-
Let rest 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
-
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds.
-
Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown. Cool before slicing.
Beef Patties
-
In a bowl, gently mix ground beef with salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
-
Form 6 equal patties, slightly wider than the buns (they’ll shrink during cooking).
-
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil.

Cook patties 3–4 minutes per side for medium, adding cheese in the last minute to melt.
Assembling Burgers

Toast bun halves lightly on a pan or grill.
