Beef burger and burger bun

Well, we're out of green, so make do with plain cheese burger only :)

Beef burger

Ingredients:

750g minced beef

1 large onion, grated

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp BBQ sauce - optional

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese - optional

1 egg, lightly whisked

salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp hungarian paprika

Method:

1. Put all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix until evenly combined.
2. Divide into 6 equal portions(you will get something like the size of McD's quarter pounder) or if you wanted smaller, divide into 12 portions. You can use your 1/2 or 1/4 measuring cup to get equal portions. Shape each portion with your hand into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Place patties onto a tray lined with greaseproof paper. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to rest.

Burger Bun

3/4 cup water

2 tbsp butter, melted

1 egg

3 1/2 cups bread flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 1/4 tsp salt

1 tbsp dry active yeast

Glaze:

2 tbsp butter , melted

Method:

1. Mix and knead all of the dough ingredients — by hand, mixer, or bread machine(Program 10 on Kenwood)
2. If using hand, cover the dough, and let it rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until it's nearly doubled in bulk.
3.  Gently deflate the dough, and divide it into 12 pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball; flatten to about 3 inch in diameter. Place the buns on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, cover, and let rise for about an hour
4. Brush the buns with about half of the melted butter.
5. Bake the buns in a preheated oven at 180 degree Celsius for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden. Remove them from the oven, and brush with the remaining melted butter.
6. Cool the buns on a rack.
