Yield: 5 servings (10 buns)
Ingredients
For the Dough
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 packets instant yeast
4 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp Lotus Soybean Oil
1.5 cup milk
1 egg
1 tbsp oil (for greasing bowl/dough)
For the Pastelle Filling
250 g minced beef
250 g minced pork
1 tbsp oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp ginger, finely chopped
2 tbsp pimento sauce,
3 sprig fine thyme, leaves stripped
2 tbsp chopped chadon beni (or coriander)
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp tomato paste
3 tbsp raisins (chopped)
1 pack olives, sliced
2 tbsp capers (whole)
Method
Prepare the Filling
Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, ginger and sauté until fragrant. Allow these aromatics to soften and add tomato paste. Cook, while stirring to caramelise.
Add the minced meats, thyme, pimiento sauce, parsley, chadon beni and cook until browned. Season with salt, and pepper.
Mix in chopped raisins, olives, and capers. Cook until well combined and moisture has mostly evaporated. Set aside to cool completely before filling.
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine milk, yeast, and sugar. Allow yeast to bloom until foamy (6-8 minutes) Add oil, egg, and mix well.
Add the flour, salt and mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead for 10–12 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Assemble the Buns
Punch down the risen dough and divide into 10 equal portions (roughly 3oz each). Roll each portion into a ball. Create a pocket in each piece and spoon about 2 tablespoons of cooled filling into the centre. Bring the edges together and pinch to seal. Place seam-side down on a lined baking tray. Cover and reserve to cook.
Stove Top Roast
Preheat tawa on low flame. When hot, place buns, seam side down on tawa and cover with a stainless-steel bowl or another heat-resistant cover.
Cook for 4-6 minutes on one side and flip once and cook for an additional 2 minutes to finish on the other side.
Serve
Allow to cool slightly before serving
