Scale
Meat Ingredients:
- 650 grams (23 ounces) minced meat
- 125 grams (4.4 ounces) yellow onion, finely chopped
- 35 grams (1.2 ounces) tomato paste
- 25 grams (0.9 ounces) sweet soy sauce
- 40 grams (1.4 ounces) chili sauce
- 4.5 grams (0.16 ounces) salt
- 3 grams (0.11 ounces) red pepper powder
- 3 grams (0.11 ounces) onion powder
- 3 grams (0.11 ounces) cumin powder
- 125 milliliters (4.2 fluid ounces) water
- 25 milliliters (0.85 fluid ounces) olive oil
- Cheddar cheese, sliced
Dough Ingredients:
- 500 grams (17.6 ounces) flour
- 240 milliliters (8.1 fluid ounces) water
- 10 grams (0.35 ounces) instant yeast
- 15 grams (0.53 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 25 grams (0.88 ounces) butter, melted
- 35 milliliters (1.2 fluid ounces) sunflower oil
- 8 grams (0.28 ounces) salt
Garnish:
- Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Activate the yeast mixture by combining lukewarm water, yeast, and sugar in a spacious mixing vessel. Incorporate beaten egg, melted butter, and sunflower oil, blending until uniform.
- Gradually fold in flour and salt, kneading the dough for 10-12 minutes until achieving a silky, elastic consistency. Allow the dough to rest in a warm environment for approximately 1 hour, expanding to double its original volume.
- Transform the risen dough into a rectangular shape, subdividing it into 12 uniform segments. Position these portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, delicately brushing with beaten egg and optionally sprinkling sesame seeds.
- Permit the dough segments to undergo a secondary rise for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C, then bake for 8-15 minutes until achieving a golden-brown exterior.
- Simultaneously, prepare the meat filling by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium-high temperature. Introduce minced meat seasoned with salt, paprika, onion powder, and cumin, cooking for 4-5 minutes.
- Incorporate chopped onions, then blend in tomato paste, sweet soy sauce, chili sauce, and water. Simmer until the mixture slightly thickens, then fold in cheddar cheese slices off the heat.
- Slice the freshly baked rolls, generously stuffing them with the seasoned meat mixture. Enhance with preferred fresh vegetables and additional sauce as desired. Serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use lukewarm water to activate yeast properly without killing it, ensuring the dough rises perfectly.
- Knead the dough thoroughly to develop gluten, creating a soft and elastic bread texture that holds the filling beautifully.
- Let the dough rise in a draft-free warm area to help it expand and create a light, airy bread base for the cheeseburger.
- Experiment with alternative meat options like ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for different dietary preferences without compromising flavor.
