- Swap the whisk for a dough hook turn to a medium speed and slowly add the warm yeast mixture and the eggs.
- Once you have a sticky dough, turn the speed to high and knead for 10 mins.
The dough is ready when it feels soft and bouncy – this means that the gluten strands have developed. - Place in an oiled bowl, cover with cling film and set aside to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, knock the air out and knead again for 2 mins. The dough should be much less sticky now, but add a little flour if it needs it.
- Divide the dough into 8-12 even pieces. Roll into balls and arrange on lined baking trays. Loosely cover with oiled cling film and leave for about 20 minutes.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and place a shallow baking tray at the bottom.
- Uncover the trays, brush the buns with egg and bake for 20 mins or until golden, then leave to cool on a wire rack.
Loaded Burger
Ingredients – Serves 3:
- – 2 medium red onions
- – olive oil
- – 6 Jacob’s crackers, or 4 slices of bread
- – 400 g quality lean minced beef
- – 1 large free-range egg
- – 30 g Parmesan cheese
- – 50g of grated cheddar
Method:
- Peel and finely chop the onions.
- Put a splash of olive oil into a large frying pan on a low heat and add your onions.
- Fry for 10 minutes or until the onions have softened, then put to one side to cool completely.
- Blitz your crackers or bread (remove the crusts first) in a food processor until you get a fine consistency. Oil a clean baking tray and put aside.
- Put the cooled onions into a large bowl with the rest of the burger ingredients. Use clean hands to scrunch the mixture together well, then divide into 3-4 equal balls for burgers and 18 equal balls for sliders.
- Wet your hands and roll the balls into burger-shaped patties about 2cm thick. Place your burgers or sliders on the oiled baking tray and pat with a little olive oil. Cover them with clingfilm and put the tray into the fridge for at least an hour, or until the patties firm up.
- If using a frying pan or griddle pan, put it on a high heat now and let it get hot. However, you decide to cook your burgers, they’ll want around 3 or 4 minutes per side – you may have to cook them in batches if your pan isn’t big enough.
