Threw a bunch of flour and shit into it to knead into an ugly yellow color. I’ll get orange sweet potatoes next time or even purple to see the effect on color.

Allow this already rising boy to rise in the fridge.

Deflate on a floured surface

Into 80g balls, the perfect size for buns. I line a tray with heavily oiled baking paper before dropping in the balls

Allow the yeasts to brap for 30 minutes in a lightly pre-heated oven. About 45 degrees C will do for minimal wait time.

Egg wash was applied last minute. I find egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of milk good for all purposes.

Into the center of a nice, hot oven for 15 minutes. Any uneven surfaces tend to flatten out in 5 minutes.

Wala!

Here’s the crumb. I think it’s a good texture for a small burger, a crisper, harder one will be good for big burgers

Here we have a small chicken patty slider. Frozen supermarket patties, ketchup and American cheese.

Things I would have changed:
1. Much more sugar in the dough, overnight the yeast seemed to have deleted 60%
2. Purple sweet potatoes for incredible visual purposes
3. Replacing some of the water with blended sweet potato juice for much more flavour
4. Not frozen chicken patties. Instead I’ll use seasoned minced beef cooked to medium, with some onion and tomatoes. No lettuce

Get the fuck out of here and never come back.

This is what I’ll gun for next thread. Bone a petit

>those trips
Guess I have to leave this board.
But anon please this was a proof of concept. I went to the store last night and there wasn’t any minced beef.

I don’t understand the hate for ketchup and American cheese however.

your buns look good.

>>12269673
Thanks. Next time the burger will be better too

Make sure you post it. Do you mix anything in with the meat?

>>12269680
Yea I’ll post. The plan is salt pepper, 80/20 beef, and a raw egg with sprinkle of breadcrumbs to bind. Probably herbs but undecided.

Will also get smoked Gouda. No lettuce because I’m a turbo autist and I don’t like the texture

When I make my own burgers I do sriracha meme sauce, v8, and liptons dry onion soup mix. I like the flavor. Salt and pepper the outside and get a good crust.
I like the lettuce, I can't stand tomato on my burger for some reason.
Dammit, now I want a big juicy burger...

For sure add cumin, mustard, fennel, garlic, onion powder, and nutmeg.

Also always grind your nutmeg and seeds fresh. I might also add some basil and oregano.

OP here taking notes. Prepare for the deliver tomorrow

>>12269707
I hadn't thought about that, I do garlic powder or salt and onion powder from time to time.
>>12269728
I like a good burger with good flavors throughout. Give a thought to adding stuff to the meat before you make patties of it.

>>12269707
That’s a lotta stuff. I think I have like half of those things come to think. Gonna raid my dads place for the rest.

>>12269745
make sure you do minced onions at least in the meat, it's really good.

>>12269745
Grinding fresh makes a HUGE difference let me tell you. Since I got a burr grinder my old coffee grinder has become my spice grinder.

>>12269865
What cut of steak do you grind up to make ground chuck?

>>12269753
>>12269865
This is my setup for blending I don’t have much other equipment. Think it’ll work? I have peppercorns and maybe some spices I’ll blitz it nice

>>12269913
I just use my hands.
