In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt.
Add olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, drain the sardines and place them in a medium bowl. Flake them gently with a fork.
Mix in lemon juice, diced onions, black pepper, and chopped parsley with the sardines. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten slightly with your hands.
Place a generous spoonful of the sardine mixture in the center of each dough piece.
Carefully bring the edges of the dough up over the filling, pinching them to seal and enclose the sardine mixture completely.
Place the filled bun seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops lightly with a little olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the buns are golden brown and gently crisped on the outside.
Allow them to cool slightly before serving, and enjoy your sugar-free sardine buns warm!
