• porsi: one portion
• total waktu: 53 minutes

Bahan-bahan

Their ‘meatballs’ are high in protein and make for a delicious filling here with hints of onion and garlic (I can confirm they also hit the spot on a simple tomato pasta:)

Head to Morrisons or Sainsburys to get yourself a pack!

180g plain flour

1 tsp instant yeast

1/2 cup warm water

Pinch salt

1/2 tsp oil

1 small carrot

1 onion

8 @meatlessfarm plant based meatballs

A handful of mushrooms

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp maple syrup

Dash of oil

2 x 1/4 cup water

Grate the carrot, onion and mushrooms. Add them to a frying pan along with the ‘meatballs’. Use a fork to mash them up in the pan. Start to cook everything in the sesame oil, over medium heat. Cook for around 20 mins, then add all seasonings and remove from the heat. Place in the fridge whilst prepping the buns

Petunjuk

Mix together the plain flour, yeast and pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Add in the oil and warm water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a clean, dry surface for about 5 minutes, then place back in the bowl and cover with a tea towel. Rest in a warm place for 30-60 minutes.

Roll the dough into a log and divide into 8-10 portions. Take one portion and form it into a ball. Roll it into a flat wrapper (not too thin). Spoon some of the filling into the centre, and use your hands to close the dough at the sides into a ball. Twist the dough at the top to fully seal it. Repeat for all the remaining dough.

Add a little oil to a large pan (with sides so you can put a lid on it). Place the buns, twisted side down, onto the pan and cook on medium for a few minutes until the bottoms become crispy. Add 1/4 cup water (per 4-5 buns), and put the lid on the pan. Cook until the water has evaporated, then remove from heat and serve your buns!
