Ingredients

• 150 g high-gluten flour
• 50 g low-gluten flour
• 1 egg
• 80 g milk
• 20 g sugar
• 2 g yeast
• 25 g butter
• 1 g salt
• to taste sesame seeds
• 4 burger patties
• 4 cheese slices
• 1 egg for frying
• to taste mayonnaise
• to taste ketchup
• 1 cucumber

Instructions

1. 1Add ingredients to the mixing bowl

   

   Place the high-gluten and low-gluten flour into the mixing bowl, followed by the egg, milk, sugar, and yeast to begin preparing the dough mixture.

   Tip: Ensure the ingredients are added carefully into the bowl before turning on the mixer.
2. 2Mix the ingredients

   

   Combine all the ingredients together inside the mixing bowl using a stand mixer to begin forming the dough.

   Tip: Make sure all components are thoroughly incorporated during this initial mixing phase.
3. 3Incorporate butter and salt

   

   Add butter and salt into the mixing bowl with the formed dough to enhance its flavor and richness during the kneading process.

   Tip: Add the butter and salt after the initial dough has formed for better gluten development.
4. 4Shape the dough balls

   

   Divide and roll the prepared dough into small, uniform portions on a clean countertop.

   Tip: Keep the portion sizes consistent to ensure even baking later.
5. 5Coat with sesame seeds

   

   Take each shaped dough ball, dip it lightly in water, and then roll it in a bowl of sesame seeds for an outer coating.

   Tip: Ensure the surface is slightly damp so the sesame seeds adhere properly.
6. 6Cook the burger patties

   

   Place the burger patties into a four-section pan on the stove to cook them evenly.

   Tip: Make sure the pan is properly heated before adding the patties.
7. 7Flip patties and fry an egg

   

   Using a spatula, flip the burger patties over and crack an egg into the remaining section of the pan to fry it alongside the meat.

   Tip: Use a silicone spatula to easily flip the patties without damaging the non-stick surface.
8. 8Top patties with cheese slices

   

   Place a square slice of cheese directly onto each hot, freshly cooked burger patty so it softens and melts from the remaining heat.

   Tip: Add the cheese while the patties are still in or just removed from the hot pan for the best melting texture.
9. 9Toast the buttered buns

   

   Slice the baked burger buns, apply butter to the cut sides, and toast them in the pan until golden and crisp.

   Tip: Keep a close eye on the buns while toasting as buttered bread browns very quickly.
10. 10Apply mayonnaise to the buns

    

    Squeeze an even layer of mayonnaise directly onto the toasted burger bun halves to add creaminess.

    Tip: Squeeze gently to control the amount of mayonnaise and spread evenly for balanced flavor.
11. 11Add cucumber slices

    

    Place fresh cucumber slices neatly on top of the mayonnaise-covered bun halves as part of the assembly.

    Tip: Slice the cucumbers thinly and evenly so they fit well inside the mini burgers.
