Blackstone Burgers on Sourdough Brioche

My wife asked if I wanted to go out for dinner this evening, since today is my birthday. I wasn't feeling it and since I really hadn't planned anything for tonite's dinner, went scrounging in the freezer. I've had some store bought premade burger patties in there and it was time to put them to use. Since I also wasn't in the mood for heading to the market for rolls I decided to make my own.

I fed the sourdough starter yesterday after making a dozen biscuits and it was nearly overflowing the Mason jar this morning. I didn't just want simple hamburger rolls, I was in the mood for Brioche, looked up a recipe and got to work.

Dough after the initial rise -



Formed into twelve dough balls -



After being allowed to rise again -



Some plain, some sesame. These are looking real good -





They don't have the usual shine of a Brioche as the recipe called for Olive Oil. Next time I make these I'll give them an egg wash brushing. Still good, no matter what.

Out to the Blackstone we go. Some grilled red peppers, the rolls being toasted and the burgers seasoned with Blackstone Whiskey Burger -





Double cheddar cheese stack for me and yeah, I'm being healthy with a side of pineapple and watermelon :razz: -







Ya know, for a frozen burger these turned out quite good. No dinner plans, simply put together and the Sourdough Brioche buns were fantastic. Leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

Thanks for checking in on tonite's quickly thrown together dinner!

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, much appreciated.

I told my wife "For being lazy and not wanting to go the store for rolls, these were a great alternative"

Her reply: "Yeah, that's the definition of lazy. Making your own hamburger rolls" :tongue:
