Ingredients:

For the Buns:

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg

For the Patties:

• 1 1/2 lbs ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Toppings:

• Lettuce leaves
• Sliced tomatoes
• Sliced onions
• Pickles
• Cheese slices
• Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise

How to Make Freshly Baked Burger:

1. Prepare the Buns:
   1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
   2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg.
   3. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
   4. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
   5. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
   6. Brush the tops of the buns with a little melted butter or beaten egg for a shiny finish.
   7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack.
2. Prepare the Patties:
   1. In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
   2. Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions and shape into patties, making a small indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing up while cooking.
3. Cook the Patties:
   1. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
   2. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Add cheese slices during the last minute of cooking if desired.
4. Assemble the Burgers:
   1. Slice the freshly baked buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill or in a skillet.
   2. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked patty.
   3. Top with sliced tomatoes, onions, pickles, and your favorite condiments.
   4. Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.

Tips:

• For extra soft buns, add a tablespoon of milk powder to the dough.
• Let the patties rest for a few minutes before assembling the burgers to retain juiciness.
• Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar, Swiss, or blue cheese for varied flavors.
