Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 150 milliliters warm water
- 50 milliliters skim milk
- 1 large egg
- 10 grams sugar
- 5 grams salt
- 30 milliliters olive oil
- 200 grams low-fat turkey sausage
- 50 grams onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 grams black pepper
- 10 grams parsley
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the yeast with warm water and a pinch of sugar, let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, skim milk, egg, and olive oil.
Stir the mixture with a spoon until a soft dough begins to form, then knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
While the dough rises, finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage while breaking it up with a spoon. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent. Season with black pepper.
Remove the sausage mixture from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Allow to cool.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disk. Place about a tablespoon of the sausage mixture in the center and gather the edges of the dough to seal it into a bun.
Place each bun seam side down on the prepared tray. Cover and let them rest for another 10 minutes.
Brush the tops of the buns with a little milk or beaten egg for a glossy finish if desired.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the buns cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
