Dissolve the honey in the warm water. In a large bowl mix the whole wheat flour with the dry yeast. Make a well in the centre and pour the water with honey and the lukewarm milk in it.

Knead for a few minutes, then add the salt, dissolved in some oil and a tablespoon of water. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for at least 10-15 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with clingfilm and let rise, in a warm place, for about 2 hours, or until is doubled in size. When the dough has risen, break the dough, turn out onto a floured surface, stretch and fold it. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a tight ball and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover with a damp cloth and let rise for about 1 hour and half. Preheat the oven to 190°. Brush the buns with some milk, sprinkle with sesam and poppy seeds. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the buns get a golden brown color. Let them cool completely.

Preheat oven to 180°. In a bowl mix together 2 tbsp of oil, lemon zest, oregano, salt and pepper. Spread cauliflower florets out on a baking sheet, drizzle with the aromatic mixture of olive oil and roast for about 30 minutes until soft and just starting to turn golden brown around edges. Remove from oven and let cool. Add the cooled cauliflower to a food processor and pulse a few times until "riced" and finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl, add the grated Parmigiano, bread crumbs and stir until well combined. Form the burgers and cook them for a few minutes, or until golden, in a large no stick pan with some olive oil. Arrange the burgers with: sliced cheese, mustard, red onion rings, arugula.
