Ingredients
Hamburger buns can be bought at the store. But the dish tastes better if you bake them yourself. The dough is made of wheat flour, milk or water, sugar and dry yeast. Before baking, the buns are sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Hamburger patties are made from beef, pork or chicken. On meat-free days they can be made from mushrooms, chickpeas and soy meat. The filling is rounded out with tomatoes, lettuce leaves, onion, pickled cucumbers and cheese.
The sauce is made from mayonnaise and mustard, ketchup or tomato paste. The patties are fried in vegetable oil, and the buns in butter.
How to make homemade burgers
This dish appeared in the USA at the beginning of the 19th century. There are many versions of its origin, but what is known for certain is that in 1900 Louis Lassen patented the "Hamburger" recipe. Today hamburgers are popular all over the world: they are sold in fast-food chains and made at home from affordable ingredients.

Recommendations:
- The classic hamburger patty is made from beef. The meat is passed through a meat grinder and then mixed with salt and pepper. Round patties 1 cm thick are formed from the ground meat. They should be a little larger than the bun, since the liquid evaporates during frying.
- Before cooking, the patties go into the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This is needed so the fat firms up and the meat turns juicier after frying. The patties are fried over high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. You can lay a slice of cheese on the hot patties right away.
- The buns are cut lengthwise into 2 halves and then toasted until crispy on the inside.
- Tomatoes and cucumbers are cut into rounds, and onion into rings. The slices should be 3-4 mm thick. The onion can be marinated in vinegar or lemon juice.
- For flavor, apple cider vinegar and ground pepper are added to the sauce.
- Assemble the burger like this: spread the bun halves with sauce and layer the ingredients between them in any order. So the lettuce stays crisp, it should not touch the hot patty.
