administratorI love bread, especially when it has flavorful additions. These buns are incredibly crispy. I made them with bread flour, but you can also use regular all-purpose flour.
Ingredients
- 100 g smoked bacon, diced
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 300 g bread flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 20 g fresh yeast
- 200 ml lukewarm water
Preparation
Cook the bacon and onion
Fry the bacon with the onion in a pan. The onion should become translucent, not browned. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
Prepare the dough
Dissolve the yeast in the water and mix well. In a bowl, combine the flour and salt, making a well in the center. Pour in the yeast mixture and knead into a smooth dough. The dough should pull away from your hands. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour.
Add the drained bacon and onion and knead again. Cover with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour.
Tip: You can let it rise in an oven preheated to 100ºC and then turned off, or place the bowl over an inverted pot lid with hot water underneath.
Shape the buns
Divide the risen dough into 6 equal balls. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let rise for another 10 minutes.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 200ºC. Score each bun in a cross with a sharp knife or scissors.
Bake on the middle rack for about 30 minutes. After baking, transfer the buns to a cooling rack.
