Burgers anyone?

A couple of weekends ago J. told me she wanted to eat a homemade-burger, but I did not have any of the ingredients and was too late to go to the grocery store. I convinced her to wait one week and I will make a 100% homemade burger. Last Saturday I made some buns, using one of the Peter Reinhart's recipes, and some pattys. For the pattys I had to use store ground meat (I do not have a grinder, so if somebody wants to send me one I will be very happy!!), the meat was seasoned with dijon mustard, onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar and black pepper. I ate mine with lettuce, tomatoes, caramelized onions, saute mushrooms and 2 different cheeses..............super good!!!!!!!!!!!

For the buns (from Peter Reinhart)

400 gr    Bread flour
200 ml   milk 
4 gr        yeast
1/2         egg
7 gr        salt
40 gr      sugar
45 ml     oil

Whisk the instant yeast into the lukewarm milk and stir to dissolve. Set aside for 1 to 5 minutes to hydrate. Combine the flour, salt, sugar eggs, and oil in a mixing bowl. Add the milk/yeast mixture to the flour mixture and mix with the paddle attachment on slow speed (or by hand with a large spoon) for 1 minute to make a coarse ball of slightly sticky dough

Remove the paddle and replace it with the dough hook. Mix on medium slow speed (or knead by hand) for 4 to 5 minutes. The dough will soft, supple, and tacky. Transfer it to a lightly floured work surface and knead it by hand for another minute. Form it into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl (not the dough) with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or for up to 4 days.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator 2 1/2 hours before you plan to bake it.  Cut 4 oz pieces and  shape it.  Mist the top with spray oil and cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise at room temperature until it almost doubles 1 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350° F./177° C. When the bread is ready to bake,  apply some egg wash  on top and sprinkle some seeds.  Place it on a middle shelf in the oven and bake for  12 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake for an addition 10 to 12 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
