Introduction
A gourmet, homemade recreation of the classic Burger King Whopper that is significantly improved.

Step 1
Whisk whole milk, water, and bread machine yeast together. Whisk in one egg and one egg yolk, then add to the bowl of a stand mixer.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the bread flour, granulated sugar, fine sea salt, and amylase enzyme powder. Slowly add this dry mixture into the running stand mixer on low speed.
Step 3
Add the softened unsalted butter to the dough once it begins to come together. Mix and knead on low speed for about 10 minutes until completely smooth. Proof the dough for 45 minutes at room temperature, then place it in the fridge for 1.5 hours to slow proof.
Step 4
Divide the proofed dough into 90g pieces. Shape each piece into a tight ball. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with greased parchment paper and inside greased 3.5-inch ring molds. Flatten slightly using a flat-bottomed cup, cover with plastic wrap, and proof for 1 hour.
Step 5
Prepare the egg wash by whisking the eggs and water. Pour into a spray bottle and evenly mist the buns. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 14 minutes. Brush with melted butter and top with flaky sea salt once baked.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using bread machine yeast and amylase enzyme powder introduces dough conditioners that yield commercial-level softness and pillowy chewiness.
Rinsing sliced raw onions under cold running water for a couple of minutes washes away harsh sulfur compounds, sweetening the onion profile.
Salting the sliced tomatoes on both sides draws out excess moisture and significantly intensifies their natural tomato flavor.
Grinding your own beef from chuck roast and short rib gives you complete control over fat ratio and texture, resulting in a much juicier patty.
