Instructions

Burger buns

  • The recipe yields 15 pieces.
  • Put flour, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer.
  • Mash the boiled potatoes and mix them into the flour mixture.
  • Add egg yolks and lukewarm milk mixed with yeast, and add the mixture to the stand mixer.
  • Let the dough mix in the bowl for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add soft butter to the mixture and let it mix for 3-4 minutes (the dough will be quite soft).
  • Transfer the dough to a bowl greased with a little oil and let it rise for 2 hours with a damp cloth over it.
  • Shape the burger buns into approximately 15 equal pieces.
  • Then place them on a baking sheet covered with baking paper (make sure to give them good spacing).
  • Press the buns slightly flat on the baking sheet so they get the right round shape.
  • Let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Put the buns in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) (fan) for 20-25 minutes.

Burger dressing

  • Chop the pickles as finely as possible.
  • Mix the remaining ingredients together.
  • Preferably place the dressing in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

Quick pickled green

  • Boil vinegar, sugar, and water in a pot to make a pickling brine, along with freshly ground pepper.
  • Turn off the heat when the sugar has dissolved and remove the pot from the heat.
  • Cut onions and cucumber into thin slices, and chop the parsley.
  • Mix onions, cucumber, and parsley into the lukewarm brine.
  • Place the brine in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the recipe.

Cheeseburger

  • Finely chop the lettuce.
  • Shape the ground beef into four equal-sized balls.
  • Heat a pan with neutral oil and place the balls in the pan.
  • Press the balls down against the hot pan with a spatula so they become flat.
  • Fry the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  • Place the cheese on the patties 2 minutes before they are done so it melts.

Notes

Tip: The burger buns can be made without a stand mixer, but then the dough needs to knead a bit longer. The burger buns can also be baked on a Baking Steel.
Tip: Consider making "smash burgers". The smash burger method helps create the perfect caramelized crust on the meat.
