Hamburger dough

In order to prepare dough for homemade hamburgers, it is necessary to pour drinking water, preheated to a temperature of 33-35 degrees, into a small container (cup or glass). Then dilute the instant yeast in this water and leave it for a while to activate it.

Melt a small piece of butter in the microwave or in a water bath and transfer to a large container. Add a little liquid honey there (if solid, then melt). Mix it up.

Beat the chicken egg separately with a hand whisk. Add room temperature milk to it and mix the whole mixture again until smooth. And then pour the resulting liquid into a container with butter and honey.

After the yeast has been activated (a characteristic white foam should form on the surface), transfer them to a container with the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly with each other.

Separately, it is necessary to sift wheat flour of the highest grade. And only then add it to the liquid ingredients in small portions a little at a time. Season the mass with salt.

Gradually adding flour, knead a soft, but at the same time elastic dough that will not stick to your hands. You can use a food processor or a bread maker for this. Or knead the dough by hand, shifting it to a work surface previously sprinkled with flour.

Lubricate the container with olive oil and put the kneaded dough into it. Cover the top with cling film or a clean kitchen towel so that a crust does not form. And leave it in this form for one and a half to two hours so that it rises.

After the specified time, the dough should increase in volume by two or even three times. It must be removed from the container and kneaded again, sprinkled with a small amount of flour. Then form buns of the desired shape from it. And leave again for an hour, so that the dough rises. After that, you can start baking buns.

Successful culinary experiments!
