Your family will get a kick out of being served a wedge of this giant burger. To cut down on last-minute preparation, bake the bun ahead and store it in an airtight container. Split the bun in half just before serving. - Victoria Beckham, Hurst, Texas Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounces) active dry yeast |
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
1 cup quick-cooking oats |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder |
1 egg, separated |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sesame seeds |
burger: |
1 egg, beaten |
3/4 cup ketchup |
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats |
1 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 pounds ground beef |
lettuce leaves |
4 slices process american cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add oats, butter, milk powder, egg yolk, sugar, salt and 1 cup of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate egg white.
2. Punch dough down and shape into a ball. Press into a greased 9-in. round baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, about 45 minutes. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
3. Combine the first four burger ingredients; crumble beef over mixture and mix well. On a greased broiler pan, shape meat mixture into an 8-1/2-in. patty.
4. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. To serve, split bun in half. Place lettuce, burger and cheese on bun bottom; replace top. Cut into wedges. Yield: 6 servings.
