Milk Buns

Ingredients

500g Strong Bread Flour

50g Granulated Sugar

265g Milk (Whole Milk Preferred)

10g Active Dried Yeast

2 Eggs

10g Salt

90g Softened Butter

1 egg yolk (optional)

Method
  1. In a large mixing bowl add the flour and sugar
  2. In a jug mix; the milk, yeast, one egg (the second egg is for an egg wash before baking), and one egg yolk (optional). Mix throughly
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the large mixing and combine with a fork
  4. Once the mixture is combined, remove from the bowl onto a lightly floured surface and knead for around five minutes
  5. Add back the dough back into the mixing bowl, add the salt and incorporate the butter (in two batches). This can get very messy, and you may need to add a tiny extra flour to help with incorporating, or you use a stand mixer for ease
  6. Once the butter is incorporated you should have a nice smooth elastic dough
  7. Remove the dough from the bowl and add to a well oiled container and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours
  8. Take the dough from the fridge and shape into eight even shaped buns (these will be about 50% smaller than the finished product)
  9. Place evenly spaced out on lined baking trays and cover for around 2 hours or until doubled in size
  10. Crack and whisk the remaining egg and apply egg wash generously to the buns
  11. Bake in the oven at 160C for around 14 minutes until golden brown

Beef Burgers

Ingredients

4 Beef Patties

4 Brioche Buns

4 Slices of Cheese

Homemade Burger Sauce

Pickles

Utensils

Cast Iron (preferred)/Frying Pan

Spatula

Cooking Instructions (Buns)
  1. Heat cast iron/frying pan over a medium heat until warm
  2. Slice brioche buns in half, and lightly spread with butter before toasting in frying pan until golden brown (around 2/3 minutes).
  3. Transfer buns to a plate (toasted side up)
  4. Spread a generous amount of burger sauce on both sides, place pickles on the bottom half of the bun and add a slice of tomato
Cooking Instructions (Burger)
  1. Turn up the heat on cast iron/frying pan to medium and heat until hot (around 2/3 minutes).
  2. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides of each patty.
  3. Place patties into the cast iron/frying pan. Using a sturdy (metal if possible) spatula, firmly ‘smash’ each patty into around 1/3inch thick.
  4. Allow the patties to cook for around 2/3 minutes (until you can see the edges on the underneath side starting to brown). Then flip each patty and place a slice of each on top and cook for a further 1 minute for medium (2/3 minutes for well done).
  5. Transfer to bun and add the top half of your bun

VOILA!
