Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 150 milliliters warm water
- 10 grams sugar
- 5 grams salt
- 30 milliliters olive oil
- 100 grams sardines in olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 15 milliliters lemon juice
- 15 grams parsley, chopped
- 1 pinch black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine 150ml warm water with 7g active dry yeast and 10g sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 250g all-purpose flour and 5g salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and 30ml olive oil.
Step 3
Knead the mixture until a smooth dough forms, about 8-10 minutes. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours in a warm place, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 4
While the dough is rising, drain the sardines (100g) and mash them in a bowl. Finely chop 1 medium onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic.
Step 5
In a small pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the mashed sardines, 15ml lemon juice, 15g chopped parsley, and a pinch of black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a small disk. Place a spoonful of the sardine filling in the center of each disk.
Step 8
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them together to seal, forming a bun shape. Place the buns seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.
Step 9
Cover the buns loosely with a damp cloth and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
Step 10
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
