Giant Dough-Wrapped Stuffed Burger

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, rolled out into a large circle)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (divided; cheddar or mozzarella work well)
• 2 beef patties (pre-cooked or seared)
• 2 tbsp burger sauce
• 4 slices pickles
• 0.25 cup caramelized onions
• 0.25 cup bell pepper (sliced and sautéed)
• 1 egg yolk (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tsp sesame seeds

Steps

1. 1

   Drape the rolled-out dough over a medium-sized mixing bowl to create a vessel for layering.

2. 2

   Place a layer of shredded cheese at the bottom of the dough-lined bowl.

3. 3

   Add the first cooked beef patty on top of the cheese.

4. 4

   Spread the burger sauce over the patty, then add a layer of pickle slices.

5. 5

   Add the caramelized onions and sautéed bell peppers.

6. 6

   Place the second beef patty on top and finish with another layer of shredded cheese.

7. 7

   Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to close the burger, pinching the bottom to seal it tightly.

8. 8

   Carefully flip the dough-wrapped burger out of the bowl and onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

9. 9

   Brush the entire surface of the dough with the beaten egg yolk.

10. 10

    Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of the egg-washed dough.

11. 11

    Bake at 360°F (182°C) for approximately 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Ensure the beef patties are pre-cooked before assembling, as the baking time is primarily for the dough. You can customize the fillings with bacon, jalapeños, or different types of cheese.
