Directions
Steps

Sprinkle the yeast over the lukewarm milk in a small bowl. Stir to dissolve and let stand for 10 minutes. Add 20 g of flour with the water in a small saucepan, until it thickens up, adding more water if necessary. Let it chill. Sift the rest of the flour in a bowl, adding the salt and sugar. Pour in the yeast mixture, an egg, a yolk and the chilled flour mixture. Knead for a couple of minutes and then mix in the butter. Tip the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead briefly until smooth. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a large oiled bowl. Cover with cling film and leave to rise in a warm place for 90 minutes, or until doubled. |

Divide the dough into 5 pieces. Take the ends of each piece and bring to the middle, to make a ball. Flatten each dough ball with the palm of your hand, until it’s about 7 cm (3”) across. Transfer them into a baking tray lined with baking paper, cover and leave to rise for 45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Brush with a beaten egg combined with a teaspoon of water and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden. Brush them with melted butter once baked. |

Combine the ground beef with the egg yolk and chopped garlic in a mixing bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, and mix well with wet hands. Shape into 5 patties of about 10 cm (4in) in. Optionally refrigerate for 15 minutes. In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, chopped gherkins, 2 tablespoons of the caramelized onions and season with salt and pepper. |

Drizzle a bit of olive oil in a preheated frying pan over medium heat. Add the burgers and fry for 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer. Cover the burgers with the cheese slices after 4-5 minutes, and lightly fry the raw onion rings and bacon slices. |
