Simple Hamburger on Whole Wheat English Muffin
with
Green Chopped Salad

Whole Wheat English Muffins
2 1/2 cups (11 ounces or 312 grams) all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups (9.52 ounces or 270 grams) whole wheat flour
1 1/4 teaspoons fine salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 3/4 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon honey
Cornmeal, for dusting

In a large bowl whisk together the flours, salt, baking soda, and yeast to combine.
In a small saucepan heat the milk and butter just until the butter has melted. Let the mixture cool until just warm, no hotter than 125°F.
In a bowl combine the milk and butter with the egg and honey. Add the flour mixture and mix until combined.  Knead for 1 minute. The dough will be sticky and wet but should form a cohesive ball.
On a floured work surface, roll out to 1-inch thickness. Use a 3 1/2-inch round cutter to cut out English muffin shapes, re-rerolling the dough as needed. Place the dough rounds on a cornmeal dusted baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let rise for 15 minutes, or until puffy.
Meanwhile preheat the oven to 325°F.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and cook the muffins for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until crispy and brown. Return the browned muffins to the baking sheet and finish baking in the oven for 15 minutes.



Best Burger Ever

1.75 lbs ground beef
½ cup of grated Monterrey jack cheese
¼ cup BBQ sauce
Season salt to taste
Cracked black pepper
Onion powder

Combine the ground beef, grated cheese, bbq sauce, and seasonings. Shape patties that are about 1 inch thick.
Push a ½ inch indent into the center of the patty–this is what prevents the patty from becoming a dome.
Wait for the skillet to get hot and then apply a thin layer of butter to the pan. Place the patties on the pan, indent side up.
Reduce heat to medium and allow this side of the patty to cook for about 4-6 minutes, but make sure it doesn’t burn. Then flip the burger over and cook until done.

Burger Sauce

Ingredients:
3/4 cup of mayo
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup relish
2 tablespoons Worcestershire
seasoned salt
Combine all ingredients and whisk until well mixed. Taste and adjust ingredients to your liking.
