Delicious Melted Cheese Meat Hamburger Recipe

How to make Hamburger with cheese and meat filling

• 1

  Mix the dough

  Put 180g of type 11 flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of dry yeast into a bowl, then use a whisk to mix all the ingredients together.

  Next, heat 120ml of fresh milk in the microwave for about 2 minutes until warm, then add the milk to the flour mixture, stirring well to combine.

  Note:

  • Do not put salt directly on the yeast as it will kill the yeast or weaken its activity. You should mix the flour with the salt first, then add the yeast.
  • If you are not using instant dry yeast, you need to activate the yeast with warm water or milk (32 – 38 degrees Celsius, not exceeding 40 degrees Celsius), stir well and let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes until the yeast swells to form a texture like crab bricks. It should not be hotter as it will kill the yeast or weaken its activity).

  Kneading the dough

  Use your hands to knead for an additional 5 minutes until the dough forms a uniform mass, add 35g of unsalted butter, and continue kneading until the dough is evenly combined with the butter, then transfer the dough to the table to knead using the Folding and Stretching technique.

  First, you use the dough to hit the table, then use the back of your hand to press and stretch the dough away. Note that you should press and stretch the dough away, not press down.

  Next, rotate the dough mass 90 degrees and repeat the two steps above until the dough forms a uniform, smooth, elastic mass that does not stick to your hands.

  How to identify if the dough is ready:

  • The dough is soft and smooth, with good elasticity.
  • The dough does not stick to your hands: When pressed, it feels slightly sticky, but when you lift your finger, the dough does not stick.
  • The dough can be stretched into a thin film without tearing.
  • Check the dough using the Windowpane test. Tear off a piece of dough, stretch it out. If the dough forms a thin membrane that is not easily torn and light can pass through, it is ready.

  Proofing the dough

  Place the dough mass in a bowl, cover it tightly, and proof for about 1 hour at room temperature until the dough doubles in size.

  Tip: To check if the dough has proofed properly, press your hand deeply into the dough mass; if the indentation remains, the dough is proofed correctly.

  Shaping the hamburger

  Take the risen dough out, knead it lightly by hand to release all the air bubbles inside, then divide the dough into 6 equal parts. After that, roll each dough portion into a ball, using plastic wrap to cover the dough so it doesn’t dry out.

  Next, take one dough ball out, sprinkle a little flour on it, then use a rolling pin to flatten the dough ball into a round piece. Then scoop 1 tablespoon of sautéed beef into the center of the dough, add 1 tablespoon of diced tomatoes, and 2 small pieces of pickles.

  Scoop an additional 1 tablespoon of cheese sauce on top, then place a slice of cheddar cheese on top, gently wrap the dough around, skillfully roll it into a ball again to finish.

  Use plastic wrap to cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
