Sloppy Joe Cheeseburgers

Dough

• 250 ml milk, lukewarm
• 7 g instant yeast
• 15 g honey
• 1 egg, beaten
• 45 g unsalted butter, room temperature
• 500 g all-purpose flour
• 8 g salt

Meat filling

• 25 ml olive oil
• 600 g ground beef
• 4 g salt
• 3 g paprika powder
• 2 g garlic powder
• 3 g onion powder
• 3 g cayenne pepper
• 1.5 g black pepper
• 100 g ketchup

To assemble

• Cheese slices
• Big Mac-style burger sauce
• 1 egg, beaten
• Sesame seeds

Directions

• Combine the lukewarm milk, honey, and yeast in a deep bowl. Mix well and let rest 5 minutes.
• Add the egg and butter and mix thoroughly, then work in the flour and salt. Knead 10-12 minutes until smooth and cohesive.
• Cover and let the dough rise 1 hour in a warm spot until doubled.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the ground beef with the salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and black pepper. Cook 7-8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
• Stir in the ketchup and mix well. Cool completely before filling the buns.
• Gently deflate the dough and divide into 9 equal balls. Roll each into a flat round.
• Place a cheese slice, some meat mixture, and burger sauce in the center (add extra cheese if you like).
• Fold the dough edges around the filling and seal tightly to prevent leaks.
• Turn seam-side down onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Let rise 30 minutes.
• Bake at 200C for 12-18 minutes until golden brown. Makes 9.
