Homemade Tomato Buns
- FOR THE DOUGH:
- 1/2 pounds, 7/8 ounces, weight Plain Flour
- 1/4 ounces, weight Yeast
- 1 ounces, weight Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt To Taste
- 7 tablespoons, 1 teaspoon, 5-1/8 pinches Warm Water
- 1 whole Egg, Beaten, Divided Use
- 1 ounces, weight Butter, Softened
- _____
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, Chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Red Onion, Chopped
- 1-7/8 ounces, weight Boiled Potatoes Small Diced
- 3-5/8 ounces, weight Tomato, Diced
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt To Taste
- 1/4 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds, For Garnish
- In a mixing bowl combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix 1 minute. Next add water and half of the beaten egg. Mix. Add butter and mix until combined. Knead by hand until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. After that, punch the dough down and make 5 round balls and allow them to rise for 10 minutes .
- Now take out each ball and roll out with a rolling pin until you get a thin disk (diameter 6 inch, thickness 1/4 inch).
- In a pan heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat. Add garlic and mix it around until it's softened. Next add onion, and the pre-boiled potato chunks. Mix until onion is softened and everything is heated through. Add tomato, pepper and salt. Mix well.
- Now place a tablespoon full of filling mixture in the middle of each dough disk and fold the dough in half (folding one half over the other to make a half moon shape). Make 5 incisions in the edges of the dough with a sharp knife. (see photo - you are basically cutting in from the edge of the circle about 1/2 to 1 inch in, towards the flat side of the half moon - do this 5 times).
- Place on a greased baking tray and allow to rise for 35 minutes. Next brush the remaining beaten egg over the top of the buns and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.
- Bake at 200 C for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve hot.
- Enjoy.
