Burger's have always been known as commonly cheap food. That is no longer the case with gourmet burgers costing up to $15 or more! We can make a fancy burger with our own homemade buns for just $2.


SUPPLIES USED:


Serving Size: 4


INGREDIENTS:

Burger Buns:

  • 2.5 tsp instant yeast

  • ½ cup water

  • ½ cup milk

  • 3.5 cups bread flour

  • 1.5 tsp salt

  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar

  • 3 Tbsp vegetable oil

  • 1 egg

  • 1 egg yolk


Sauce:

  • 1 Sweet Onion, diced

  • Vegetable Oil

  • Salt

  • 1 cup (240 g) Mayonnaise

  • 1/2 cup (125 g) Ketchup

  • 1/2 cup (125 g) Mustard

  • 1 Dill pickle, diced

  • Black pepper


Burger:

  • 1lb ground beef

  • Salt

  • Black Pepper

  • Cheddar cheese

  • American cheese


INSTRUCTIONS:

Bun Method:

  1. To make the buns, get a small container and add ½ cup of lukewarm milk and dissolve in 2 ½ teaspoons of instant yeast.

  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together 3 ½ cups of bread flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1 /12 teaspoons of fine sea salt. Place in your stand mixer with the dough hook attachment and begin mixing. Add in 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil followed by your milk mixture one egg yolk and one whole egg. Let that mix until you get a smooth dough.

  3. Pop it out of the bowl and shape it into a light bulb. Toss it into a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for one hour. Simply punch it down, divide and shape it into six evenly sized balls.

  4. Place your dough balls onto a baking sheet, cover, and let it proof for 30 minutes. Finally, give them a light brush of egg wash and place in a 375-degree oven for 15 minutes.

  5. Pull them out and brush them with melted butter.

Sauce Method:

  1. Start by roughly dicing the onion.

  2. Heat a large pan over medium-high with enough vegetable oil to coat the pan.

  3. Add onions once the pan is hot and toss to coat with oil and sear until the onions develop color. Toss again and sear for another minute.

  4. Once translucent add salt to taste and set to the side.

  5. In a medium bowl, add in all ingredients and whisk to combine.

Burger Method:

  1. Add ground beef to a bowl and divide it into eight equal pieces.

  2. Cut a bun in half and toast each side in butter.

  3. Heat pan over medium-high. Once hot add on a burger ball and using the flat side of a spatula smash the burger patty.

  4. Season with salt and pepper. Sear for 2 minutes.

  5. Flip. Top with cheddar cheese and sear for 1 more minute. Broil or blow torch the cheese just until barely melted.

  6. On the bottom bun, add a generous spoonful of sauce and top with the first patty.

  7. Add another burger ball to the pan, and using the flat side of a spatula smash the burger patty.

  8. Season with salt and pepper. Sear for 2 minutes.

  9. Flip. Top with American cheese and sear for 1 more minute. Broil or blow torch the cheese just until barely melted.

  10. Add the second patty on top of the first patty.

  11. Top the second patty with another generous dollop of sauce and finally top with the top bun.

Not for nothing, but if you're not a fan of the military touches, Hodinkee link released a limited edition reissue this year, as well, that was inspired by the Hamilton 6BB "G.S." – General Services – watch, made for non-military members of link the link British Armed Forces. That makes two great options for Hamilton fans.

Malaika: The only way to get away with this watch would be to wear it with something that makes absolutely no sense, like huge baggy link clothes. I could link see a Tompkins link Square Park skate rat wearing something like this. All the boys in NYC have caught on to this small ladies' watch trend already.

The connection was in choosing sort link of an analog simple dial. It's not a reaction link to technology, but obviously, we have plenty of digital devices around us at all times. There's something kind of nice about not having to reach into your pocket to tell the time – just kind of like a link refusal of letting the phone dictate everything. So I think that's maybe the subliminal context.

Yes, I love Grand Seiko. I wear one. Seiko is really close to link my link childhood as well, because it is a Japanese brand. My favorite is the Grand Seiko Spring Drive diver. I love dive watches. I don't dive that much, but because link I work with flowers and plants, I always use water. It's great to wear watches with good water resistance.

Earlier this month, TAG Heuer took this b-side Bond watch and revived it with the new Aquaracer Night Diver. It slots nicely into the brand's recently refreshed link Aquaracer line, which debuted early this link year. TAG and all-things-Heuer expert Jeff Stein went so far as to call the titanium green Aquaracer the watch link of the summer.
