Method
- For the brioche buns heat the milk with the butter and molasses until the butter has melted. Add the cold water and egg to this mix.
- In a large bowl place flour, salt and yeast and mix.
- Then add the milk and water mix and stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
- You don't have to knead the dough, it is perfectly fine to do this by hand with a wooden spoon, this doesn't need to be very thorough.
- Cover with a damp towel and stick in the fridge overnight.
- The next morning knead dough on a generously floured surface for a little and cut into eight equal pieces.
- Shape these into balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover again with damp towel and let rise for about an hour or until double in size.
- Heat oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
- Brush the buns with either milk, heavy cream or egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
- Bake for about 15-20min or until golden.
- Let cool.
- For the toppings chop the onions and sauté in a bit of butter, let caramelize, this may take ten to 15 minutes, stir occasionally.
- Rub the steaks with a bit of garlic and then grill or fry the steaks, the bacon, and eggs with salt and pepper, toast the buns after having cut in half.
- Spread mustard on one bun half, layer each chivito with steak, a slice of ham, a slice of cheese, one bacon stripe, a tomato slice, and some lettuce.
- Place fried egg on top and sprinkle generously with chimichurri and some onions right before serving.
