Step #5 Grill burgers either on a hot outdoor grill, or cast iron stove top grill - approximately 5 mins per side for medium rare - longer for well done (whatever your preference may be).
Step #6 Slice the Italian bread or Ciabatta into even slices - enough for 2 slices per patty & brush or use your 'misto' sprayer on one side with E.
