Instructions
- For the brioche buns, heat 80 g milk with 60 g butter and 1 tablespoon of molasses until the butter has fully melted. Remove from the heat and stir in 220 g cold water and 1 egg until combined.
- In a large bowl, combine 500 g bread flour, 10 g salt, and 10 g yeast. Pour in the milk mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms β no vigorous kneading is required at this stage. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and refrigerate overnight.
- The next morning, turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and knead briefly until smooth. Divide into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover again with a damp towel, and leave to rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 220 Β°C. Brush the buns with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 15β20 minutes until deep golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
- Finely chop 4 onions and sautΓ© them in a knob of butter over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelised β this will take 10β15 minutes. Set aside.
- Rub 8 sirloin steaks with a little garlic. Working in batches as needed, grill or pan-fry the steaks to your preferred doneness, fry 8 rashers of bacon until crisp, and fry 8 eggs, seasoning everything with salt and pepper. Slice the brioche buns in half and toast the cut sides.
- To assemble, spread mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a sirloin steak, 1 slice of ham, 1 slice of mozzarella, 1 rasher of bacon, a slice of tomato, and a little lettuce. Place a fried egg on top, then spoon over chimichurri sauce generously and finish with a helping of the caramelised onions. Close with the top bun and serve immediately.
