Olga Burger

In Michigan there is a restaurant called Olga's Kitchen. They make the best Olga bread for their sandwiches. I found a site today that has a copy cat recipe and gave it a whirl. They turned out as yummy as I remembered them! It's been a very long time since I've had an Olga Burger.

I've burned out on HGTV and I've been into Food Network lately. I've been watchign alot of Ultimate Recipe Showdown and was inspired to make a yummy burger for dinner. :)

Rolling out the dough.


Quickly cooking the bread...15 seconds one side 10 seconds on the other.

Spread mayo on the Olga bread and then add your hamburger (I topped ours with provolone cheese) and garnish with lettuce and ketchup.

It's a very sweet bread that is delicous! I made 16 of them so now I need to figure a few other things to use it for besides burgers.

Olga's Kitchen Bread

1 cup milk
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup margarine
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 package) active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 egg

Scald milk, remove to large bowl. Add honey, margarine and salt to milk; stir until margarine is melted. Set aside to cool until lukewarm.

Combine yeast, warm water and sugar; stir until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.

Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour to lukewarm milk mixture and beat well. Mix in egg and yeast mixture. Add remaining flour, a little at a time, until sticky dough is formed. Turn out on a floured surface; knead about two minutes. Dough will be sticky, but don’t add more flour. Place dough in oiled bowl, turning once to oil whole surface of dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in warm place until doubled in bulk.

Punch down dough; divide into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece to a thin rough circle about 8-10 inches in diameter.

Heat a large dry skillet over medium-high heat; do not use any oil. Bake 15 seconds, flip and bake about 10 seconds on other side, until mottled brown spots appear. Cool and store in a plastic bag.

Makes 16.
