Instructions

1
Divide the bread dough into four equal portions. Press one portion into a small bowl to form a cup.
2
Place a slice of American cheese into the dough cup, followed by a cooked beef patty.
3
Top the patty with a spoonful of burger sauce.
4
Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to completely seal the fillings inside, forming a ball.
5
Place the four stuffed dough balls into a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
6
Brush the tops of the buns with beaten egg.
7
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the egg wash.
8
Bake until golden brown and cooked through (e.g., at 375°F / 190°C for 15-20 minutes).
9
Serve warm.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Ensure beef patties are cooked and cooled slightly before wrapping to prevent the dough from becoming too warm and sticky.
Seal the dough edges tightly around the filling to prevent cheese and sauce from leaking during baking.
Brush the egg wash evenly and sprinkle sesame seeds immediately after for even toasting and better adhesion.
Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even browning on the bottom.

Substitutions

American cheese → Cheddar or Swiss cheese (use 1 slice per bun for consistent melting)
Burger sauce → Ketchup + mustard mix, mayo-based spread, or special sauce (adjust ratio to taste)
Bread dough → Store-bought pizza dough or dinner roll dough (thaw if frozen, adjust portion size)

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooled buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for 5 days. Reheat wrapped in foil at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until warmed through.

Common Questions

Can I prepare these the night before?

Yes. Assemble the buns, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Brush with beaten egg and bake the next day—add 2–3 minutes to baking time if baking from cold.
