Step 6:

To construct the burger, take the base and the lid of the warm Milk Bun, add a good slather of aioli, ketchup on each. Add a couple of tomato slices. Finally, stack beef patties, streaky bacon and the milk bun lid on top.

If burger buns are too basic, you can always use artisan bread to add a unique twist to your burgers.
