Ingredients
BREAD (2 units):
- 150 ml of milk/vegetable drink.
- 20 ml of EVOO.
- 1 envelope of baker's yeast.
- 300 gr of whole spelled flour.
- 1 tablespoon of date paste (1 or 2 medjoul dates).
- 1 egg to varnish.
- Toppings: toasted and black sesame seeds.
STUFFED:
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 50 gr approx of goat cheese.
- 1 medium onion.
- 1 teaspoon of date paste.
- A splash of EVOO.
- Ground black pepper and salt.
Preparation
For the bread:
- Add all the ingredients in a bowl. Tips: Temper the milk and mix first with the baker's yeast, the EVOO, the salt and the date paste (add a splash of hot water to the dates, rest for 10 min. and blend).
- Knead for 10 min. and leave the dough to rest for 1 hour in a container covered with a kitchen towel in the turned off oven.
- After the time has passed, make balls with the dough in the shape of hamburgers (in my case, two large balls came out).
- Beat an egg, varnish the balls and add the seeds.
- Bake for 12 min. approx. at 200° (the time will depend on the oven).
For the filling:
- Microwave the sweet potato for about 10 min. Once ready, let it cool down to be able to peel it and mash it with the help of a fork.
- Melt the goat cheese in the microwave and add together with the sweet potato puree and the spices. To get a mousse texture, I put the puree in a homemade piping bag.
- Finally, poach the julienned onion with the EVOO and when it is cooked, add a teaspoon of date paste to caramelize and cook for 5 minutes.
I love creating my own burgers from different ingredients, which one is your favourite?
