- 0.5 l Water lukewarm
- 10 gram Coarse salt
- 700 gram Wheat Flour
- 100 gram Butter soft
- 1 pcs. Egg for brushing

Beef

- 200 gram Bacon homemade, dry-cured bacon (see the note).
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
Sides
- Pickled red onions

- Ketchup preferably homemade - see note.
Instructions
Burger buns:
- Crumble the yeast into a mixing bowl, a large bowl, or in a stand mixer.
- Add water and salt and dissolve the yeast in it.
- Stir wheat flour into the yeast mixture until you have a smooth dough.
- Add the soft butter in small lumps and mix the dough well.
- Now add just enough flour to make the dough smooth and kneadable. It should not be dry; it must be slightly moist.
- Let the dough rise under a damp cloth - alternatively, you can use a shower cap - for about 30 minutes.
- Punch the dough down and shape it into flat buns.
- Let the buns rise again for 30 minutes.
- Crack the egg into a deep plate and whisk it with a fork.
- Brush the risen buns with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake the buns for 10 minutes at 210 degrees Celsius (410 degrees Fahrenheit), until they are golden and thoroughly baked.
- Let the burger buns cool on a wire rack.
Bacon:
- Fry the bacon crispy in a dry pan over medium-high heat.
- Take the bacon off the pan and place it on paper towels to drain until ready to use.
- They release quite a bit of bacon fat, which you should just leave in the pan.
Patties
- The patties are made from homemade, dry-aged (dry-aged) beef chuck and brisket. It's meat of really high quality, so it's important not to overcook them, as they will become dry and unappealing.
- Shape the meat into slightly flat patties and season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Fry the patties in the bacon grease for 4 minutes on one side.
- Then turn the meat. During frying, it is beneficial to baste the patties with the bacon grease so that the fried surface stays juicy.
- After about one minute, place a slice of cheddar cheese on top.
- Let the meat fry for another 3 minutes, then take it off the pan. Let the patties rest uncovered for 2 minutes before serving.
