Loaded BBQ Cheeseburger Roll (บาร์บีคิวชีสเบอร์เกอร์โรลจัดเต็ม)

1.Prepare the dough by taking a small portion of the milk and combining it with the honey. Microwave until warm enough to dissolve the honey, then stir into the remaining milk. Add the yeast and leave for 3–5 minutes. Add the bread flour and salt, then knead until the dough is smooth, elastic, and passes the windowpane test. Shape into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and leave to rise for approximately 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

2.Prepare the burger filling by cutting the bacon into approximately 1 cm pieces. Cook over low heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving approximately 2 tablespoons of rendered bacon fat in the pan.

3.Cook the onion in the reserved bacon fat until translucent. Add the ground beef and pork, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until fully cooked and lightly browned. Transfer to a strainer to drain off excess liquid and fat. Return the meat to the pan, add the BBQ sauce, and stir until evenly coated. Mix the cornstarch with the water, then add to the pan. Cook until the sauce thickens and coats the meat well. Allow to cool completely before mixing in the grated cheddar cheese.

4.Roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 35 × 60 cm, with the shorter side facing you. Spread the meat filling over the lower half of the dough, leaving a 2 cm border around the edges. Arrange the cheddar cheese slices over the upper half. Sprinkle the crispy bacon over the meat filling, then distribute the pickled gherkins evenly.

5.Starting from the edge closest to you, roll the dough up tightly. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking paper, seam side down. Pinch and seal both ends securely.

6.Cover the dough to prevent it from drying out and leave to proof for approximately 20–25 minutes, until slightly puffed. Beat the egg and milk together, then strain for a smooth egg wash. Brush a thin, even layer over the surface of the dough and sprinkle with raw white sesame seeds.

7.Bake at 180°C for approximately 50 minutes, or until the bread is fully baked and beautifully golden brown.

8.Prepare the spicy burger sauce by combining the mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, Frank’s RedHot sauce, garlic salt, black pepper, and mustard. Stir until smooth, then fold in the finely chopped pickled gherkins.

9.Allow the Loaded BBQ Cheeseburger Roll to cool slightly before slicing into portions of the desired size. Serve with the spicy burger sauce.
