Homemade Burgers with Fresh Buns

Mix water and milk, heat slightly. Add sugar and yeast, stir and let sit for 10 minutes.

Add salt, olive oil and egg, mix well. Add the sifted flour in small portions and knead until you have a soft dough. If it's sticky — that's normal; if it falls apart — add more flour.

Cover the dough and let it rest in a warm place for 1 hour.

Transfer the risen dough to a table lightly coated with vegetable oil. Divide into 8 balls.

Line a baking sheet with oiled parchment paper. Arrange the buns, lightly flatten them and shape them attractively. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Brush the buns with egg, milk or butter, sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Put in the oven and bake until golden brown. After cooling, the buns can be lightly browned on the grill.

Finely chop the beef or use ready-made ground beef. Add an egg, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Form 8 patties slightly larger than buns — they will shrink when frying. Grill until cooked through.

Cut the bun in half. On the bottom half, place a cutlet, processed cheese, a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and several onion rings.

Add mustard sauce with basil and close with the top half of the bun. Serve immediately.
