Bread:
1. To quickly make mash potatoes, place the cubed potatoes in a microwave bowl covered with plastic wrap. Poke a hole in the center, then microwave for 4-5 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Allow the potatoes to cool before mashing and combining with the milk and butter. Set aside 130g or ½ Cup for the Dough
2. In a measuring glass combine the heated milk with the yeast and 20g of sugar. Sugar is important in helping activate the yeast. Mix well, then add in 1 whole egg and an egg yolk. Mix again, then set aside to bloom for at least 5 minutes
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add in the flour, salt, remaining sugar, along with the mashed potatoes, softened butter & yeast mixture. Kneed for 10 minutes or until nice and smooth
4. Remove the dough from the mixer and form into a ball on a clean worksurface. Place the dough ball into a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and rise for 1 hour
5. Once risen, punch down your dough and divide into 12 even dough balls
6. Make as many buns as you need! (You can freeze the rest to have fresh bread whenever you want! Just leave the frozen dough out on the counter for 4-6 hours or in the fridge over night for fresh dough without the hassle)
7. Place the dough balls onto a parchment line baking sheet
8. Place an inverted baking sheet over the top of the dough and let rise for an additional 2 hours
9. Once Risen, brush with a whole milk, egg mixture and sprinkle over sesame seeds (optional). Then bake in a 375° oven for 18 minutes or until golden brown and fluffy
Steakhouse Burger:
1. Create ½ pound steak house style patties, season heavily with salt and pepper
2. Preheat your oven to 260°. Cook until they reach 125° internal. Rest until you are ready to eat
3. Right before you construct the burger, place the smoked burger into a ripping hot pan or in the oven set to broil. Sear each side
4. Place on the American cheese and set aside for the sandwich assembly
Quick Pickles:
1. Place the sliced cucumber into a reusable food container
2. Pour the vinegar, chili crisp and pickling spices into the container and shake well

1. Mix ingredients and set aside
