Squeeze the water out. You can do it by placing the bread into a colander and squeezing it with your hand.
Peel the onion and cut into a few parts.

The texture of the meat would benefit from pounding: scoop up the meat mixture with your hand and throw against the bottom of the bowl. Repeat a few times.

After pounding, the ground meat will be much more uniform. The burgers made this way keep their shape much better and have a more delicate taste.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal parts.
