Quadruple-Stack Bacon Benedict Burger
 
[SIZE=medium]This is a cheeseburger with a few additions. For this TD, I experimented with making my own pickles. I started them in a brine a bit early (Thursday,) due to my scheduling-and the fact that it takes some time for the pickles to mature. I also made some homemade Brioche Burger buns. The buns went through two rises, and were cooked on a reusable baker’s parchment. This ended up working well, because the buns did not stick much, and seemed to be protected on the bottom from overheating. For the eggs Benedict, I made a homemade Hollandaise sauce. The burgers were cooked on a natural gas grill, with the cheese being added toward the end. The cheese was a Seaside Cheddar recommended to me as being a favorite. Sriracha was used instead of ketchup, and apart from the Hollandaise sauce, no other sauces were used. Fresh homegrown San Marzano tomato was also used as a topping.[/SIZE]

I have to agree with MX on the stacking, but I am totally in awe of those buns! What recipe did you use?

I was short on bread flour, so I halved the recipe and guesstimated a few measurements. I also accidentally added the full recipe amount of water, and half or guesstimated half of everything else probably. Interestingly, this made the dough more runny, so I compensated by adding gradual amounts of more bread flour. I left the dough sticky. The parchment paper probably helped a bit. Dough scraper did help with moving the dough.
 
The recipe said 15 minutes cooking time, but at the end of that the buns weren't brown, so I let them cook in several minute intervals until I was more-or-less satisfied with the brownness. Draining off the excess egg from the sesame seed liquid may have helped also.
 
Gee I wonder if that page is owned by Wisonsin Cheese lol.
