Once the dough has risen, divide it into 4 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, take one portion of dough and flatten it into a circle large enough to cover an inverted bowl (about 8-10 inches in diameter).

Place the flattened dough over an inverted bowl or similar round object to create a cup shape. Place one slice of American cheese at the bottom of the dough cup, followed by one cooked burger patty.
