Instructions
- First, start by making the Big Mac Style sauce, because it needs at least 4 hours to rest in the refrigerator, or even overnight, to allow the containing aromas to mix well.
- For this, place the pickled cucumbers and shallots for the sauce into the mixing bowl of the Thermomix and chop 7 SEC – SPEED 8;
- Scrape down the walls of the bowl and add the rest of the ingredients for the sauce;
- Mix them well 10 SEC – SPEED 4;
- Transfer the sauce into a sealed container and place it into the fridge to rest until 4 hours before serving.This is a Cookidoo recipe adapted to my preferences. Feel free to use the original one if it suits you better.
- Next, let’s make the homemade brioche burger buns. For this, first you have to clean and rinse the mixing bowl;
- Then, grease a large bowl and set aside;
- Using the mixing bowl, place the sugar, yeast, milk and water and mix 3 MIN - 37o C (98.6o F) – SPEED 2;
- Leave the mixture to rest for 5 minutes;
- Add the flour, salt, butter and egg for the brioche buns and knead DOUGH – 10 MIN;
- Transfer the dough into the greased bowl and cover it with plastic film or a kitchen textile towel;
- Leave the dough to rise for 1 hour;
- After that, transfer the dough in a floured surface or a silicone mat and divide the dough into 8-10 pieces;
- Using your hands, shape each piece into a ball of dough and place them in a tray covered with baking paper;
- Leave the dough balls in the tray for extra 30 minutes to rise;
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven at 200o C (392o F);
- Beat the egg yolk and the remaining milk and brush the dough balls with this mixture;
- Sprinkle sesame seeds or salt on top of the bun;
- Place the baking tray into the oven and place a large pot/ tray with water on the bottom of the oven;
- Bake the brioche buns like this for 10 minutes;
- Remove the container with water and bake the brioche buns for extra 10 minutes using the same temperature; They will get a golden-brown crust;
- Transfer onto a wire rack to cool before serving;
- Now, let’s ground the meat together with one onion cut into quarters and 2-3 garlic cloves. I also like to add grated carrots to the meat;
- Add salt and black pepper according to your taste;
- Form 8 balls of meat and cook them on the grill or into a grill pan;
- Using a grill spatula, smash the meat balls and cook them for 5-7 minutes on each side;
- Place a cheese slice on the meat to allow it to melt while grilling;
- Now, create your unique big mac smash burger by starting with the brioche bun. Add the meat, the sauce and the rest of the ingredients for filling the burger;
- Serve warm with roasted potatoes.
