To make the bread buns
01. Stir the yeast into the warm (35 °C) water with a fork until it dissolves. Allow to rest
for 1 minute.
02. Put the salt, flour, sugar, butter, egg and yeast liquid in the main bowl fitted with the
dough blade.
03. Process for 30 seconds.
04. Transfer the dough to a floured mixing bowl using the spatula. Cover with cling film or
a damp cloth. Leave to rest for 30 minutes.
05. Knock the dough down by giving it a few gentle punches. Turn out onto a floured
worktop.
06. Divide into 6 equal pieces using a sharp knife

11. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, or until golden.

Chef’s tips: you can replace the sesame seeds with poppy or sunflower seeds. For people
with a healthy appetite, make four buns instead of six.
To make the burgers and garnish
01. Wash the lettuce. Peel and halve the onion. Slice the tomatoes, one of the onion halves
and the lettuce in the midi bowl with the 2-mm slicing disc. Set aside.
02. Cut the remaining half-onion into pieces, transfer to the main bowl with the metal
blade and pulse 5 times.
03. Cut the meat into large pieces. Add to the onion in the main bowl. Pulse a few times -
the meat should be minced, not hashed. Season. Pulse 2 more times.
04. Shape the hamburgers with your hands. Fry them in a frying pan with a little olive oil
for about 2 minutes on each side.
05. Top each hamburger with a cheese slice. Cover the frying pan until it is time to serve.
06. Make the mayonnaise according to the recipe on p.28, halving the amounts.
07. Split the buns, fill with tomato, lettuce, steak, mayonnaise and ketchup.
08. Eat while they are hot.
Chef’s tips: for even tastier hamburgers, add a slice of bacon to each one. Serve with
french fries.
