Mattia’s Burger

My favourite burger combination. There might be an Italian influence in the choice of cheese and liberal use of olive oil and it’s so good

Step 1

Start by mixing the yeast, milk and sugar until almost fully dissolved. Add the flour, oil and salt and knead for 5 minutes until almost smooth. Work into a ball and place in a bowl for 2 hours to rise at room temperature. After the two hours shape into 4 balls and put on a baking tray with parchment paper, beat an egg and brush the buns, topping lastly with the sesame seeds. After 2 more hours of rising, preheat the oven to 180°C and once it gets to temperature cook for 20 minutes. Rest until cooled down

Step 2

Mix mayo, mustard, pickle juice, pickles and onion powder, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Adjust to your liking

Step 3

Slice the onions and cook in a pan with olive oil and a fair amount of salt to get the moisture out. Cook for 20/30 minutes on medium low and deglaze with balsamic vinegar towards the end

Step 4

Cook the patties in some butter, topped with salt and pepper. Flip once, add the cheese and cover with a metal bowl to allow the cheese to melt perfectly.
