Ingredients

makes about 10 burger buns

FOR THE DOUGH
430 g Spelt flour bio Regiograno®
80 g Rye flour type 1 bio Regiograno®
10 g salt
8 g barley malt flour
25 g honey
20 g fresh yeast
330 g water, lukewarm
q.s. sesame seeds
ADDITIONALLY
500 g ground beef
q.s. lettuce
q.s. tomatoes
q.s. onions
q.s. cheese
q.s. salt, pepper

Preparation

  1. Put all ingredients into a bowl and knead into a smooth, elastic dough that pulls away easily from the sides of the bowl.
  2. Gently fold the dough once and let it rest for 20 minutes. Fold it again and let it rest for another 20 minutes - this builds up more strength in the dough.
  3. Divide the dough into pieces of about 90 g each and shape into balls by hand, using a little flour as needed. Don't just roll them - apply gentle pressure to build tension on the surface of the dough.
  4. Place the shaped buns well spaced apart on a lightly oiled baking sheet or one lined with parchment paper.
  5. Let rise in a warm, slightly humid place for 2-3 hours, until visibly increased in size and nearly doubled.
  6. Before baking, if desired, spray the buns lightly with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  7. Preheat the oven to 220 °C (430 °F) fan and bake the buns with a little steam. After the first 3 minutes, reduce the temperature to 200 °C (390 °F) and continue baking for another 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. Shape the burger patties and sear on both sides in a pan. Cut the buns in half and fill with the burgers and your favorite toppings, then serve.

Note: "Steam" in baking refers to the water vapor created inside the oven during baking. To create it, pour a little water into a heatproof container that's already hot in the preheated oven. The steam helps produce a crispier crust and better oven spring.
