Wagyu. We all know and love it. Oftentimes, I feel terrible turning wagyu into something other than simple, delicious strips with some light flakey salt. But once in a while, it's nice to take a basic food and make it truly extraordinary. And that's exactly what I've done here. All from scratch. Everything in this video will be from scratch.

Ingredients:
1 cup + 2 tbsp warm water
2 tbsp active dry yeast
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3 cups AP flour
Salt (to taste)
16oz Wagyu (or other) beef
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
Salt (to taste)
2 small cucumbers
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tbsp ketchup
1/4 cup chopped pickles
Hot sauce (pinch)
Salt + Pepper
Lettuce (optional)
Tomato (optional)
Bacon (optional)

1. To make buns, combine water and yeast. Whisk.
2. Add vegetable oil and sugar, and whisk again. Let this sit for 5 minutes.
3. Add egg, flour, and salt in mixing bowl and knead about 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Drop dough onto floured board and cut into six balls.
5. Roll into small balls and sit on greased tray.
6. Let dough rest several minutes and grind wagyu.
7. After resting dough balls for 10 minutes, paint them in egg wash.
8. Bake at 425 Fahrenheit (218 C) for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
9. For pickles, add vinegar, water, and salt to small saucepan and heat until sugar dissolved. Pour over sliced cucumber and let sit 15 minutes.
10. Egg wash buns again and add sesame seeds. Place back in oven until seeds are set.
11. For special sauce, combine mayo, ketchup, pickles, hot sauce and S+P.
12. Sear beef in ring molds to get perfect shape, then add cheddar and steam until melted.
13. Slice and toast buns.
14. Assemble burger to your liking and enjoy.
