  3. After the dough has doubled in size, punch it down gently and knead it slightly. Split the dough into equal-sized portions and shape them into balls. Arrange these balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, brush their tops with melted butter, and sprinkle sesame seeds over them.

  9. Shape the meat into flat patties. Cook them in a hot skillet with vegetable oil, flipping several times, until they are browned and fully cooked. Patties should release clear juices when lightly pressed.

Recipe Notes

Buns: To save time, you can use store-bought buns for your hamburgers. Carefully slice them before assembling the burger to avoid tearing the edges.

Patties: Use thin ground beef patties that expand in size when fried. Fry them just before assembling the burger. Adding a bit of butter to the ground beef can make the patties juicier.

Sauce: Experiment with different sauces, including vegetable, tomato, and other varieties, to suit your taste preferences.

Assembly: Slice the ingredients thinly and place the cheese (for cheeseburgers) on the hot patty immediately to melt it evenly.

Yeast Activation: Ensure the liquid in which you activate the yeast is not too hot (no higher than 40 degrees Celsius). Test the yeast by mixing it with warm milk and letting it sit in a warm, draft-free place for 10-15 minutes until a foamy cap forms on the surface. If no foam appears, the yeast may be expired or spoiled, and you'll need to use fresh yeast for successful baking.

Flour Adjustment: You may need more or less flour than the recipe indicates. Focus on achieving the desired consistency of the dough rather than strictly following the amount of flour suggested.

Oven Variability: Keep in mind that ovens vary in temperature and cooking times. Adjust accordingly based on your oven's performance for optimal results.
