Recipe Ingredients
Ingredients for the dough
- 1×7 grams sachet of dried yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 4 tablespoons water, lukewarm
- 500 grams plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 250 millilitres milk, lukewarm
- 125 millilitres vegetable oil
- 1 egg white (save the egg yolk for the egg wash)
- half a bunch of fresh parsley (optional other fresh herbs)
- 150 grams curd cheese
- 150 grams feta
Ingredients for the egg wash
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon milk
- sesame seeds and/or black cumin seeds for sprinkling
Methods
1. Activate the yeast
Dissolve the yeast with 1 teaspoon sugar in about 4 tablespoons of lukewarm water and let sit until the yeast is foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
2. Weigh the ingredients
Meanwhile, weigh and measure all the ingredients: in a large bowl, weigh out 500 grams of flour, add salt and set aside. Measure out the liquid ingredients and separate the egg white from the yolk. Cover the yolk and set aside for later.
Chop half of the fresh parsley and weigh out the curd cheese and feta.
3. Make the dough
By now, the yeast has had enough time to become activated. Take the bowl with the flour and pour in the milk, followed by the egg white, oil and activated yeast. Knead well with the dough hook of the hand mixer. Add the finely chopped parsley, the curd cheese plus the feta and knead again. Don’t be alarmed that the dough will be very moist and sticky. After kneading, cover the dough with a tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Shape the buns
Turn out the dough on a lightly floured surface, knead a few times with your hands and divide into 6 equal pieces. If you prefer smaller buns, you can, of course, also shape smaller buns.
Place the shaped dough in a greased baking tin or casserole dish (mine is 25×31 cm / 10×12 inches). Cover the shaped dough again with a tea towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
5. Bake
While the dough is resting, now is a good time to preheat the oven to 175 °C (350°F).
When the oven is preheated, whisk the egg yolk with a spoonful of milk and brush the buns with it. Sprinkle with sesame and/or cumin seeds.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the buns.
6. Serve
Allow the buns to cool slightly after baking.
Enjoy!
