Main Ingredients for Burger Pies:

 

Dough Ingredients:

• 2 ½ cups of white flour
• 1 tablespoon of instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of powdered milk
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
• ¼ cup of sunflower oil
• 1 cup of warm water

Filling Ingredients:

• 6 burger patties (beef)
• 6 slices of cheddar cheese
• 1 large tomato, cut into thin slices

For Brushing:

• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds

How to Prepare Burger Pies:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In the bowl of a mixer, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, powdered milk, salt, baking powder, and garlic powder. Attach the dough hook and mix on medium speed for a few seconds to combine all the dry ingredients.
   • Gradually add the oil and warm water while the mixer is running. Continue to mix until you get a somewhat smooth dough. If the dough is too soft, add a little more flour until it becomes smooth and well-combined.
   • Knead the dough on low speed for about 5 minutes until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
   • Remove the dough from the bowl, place it in an oiled bowl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes until it doubles in size.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a wide skillet, heat a little olive oil and grill the burger patties until they are fully cooked, flipping occasionally to brown both sides.

3. Assemble the Burger Pies:

   • Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut it into 12 circles.
   • Take the first circle of dough, brush it with a little egg yolk, and place it on a baking sheet.
   • Add a cooked burger patty, followed by a slice of tomato and a slice of cheddar cheese. Cover with another circle of dough, pressing the edges together to seal.
   • Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling, ensuring the pies are spaced apart on the baking sheet.
   • Cover the pies with plastic wrap and let them rise again for another 30 minutes until the dough doubles in size.
   • Brush the tops of the pies with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

4. Bake the Burger Pies:

   • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
   • Place the baking sheet in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the pies turn a light golden color.
   • Once baked, remove the pies from the oven, cover them with a clean towel for a couple of minutes to keep them soft, and serve them hot.
