Preparazione

1. 1

   --- The Filling ---

2. 2

   While the dough is resting, heat the oil in a pan, add the diced onion, and cook till soft—about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the beef and break it up.

4. 4

   Add the thyme, red chili flakes, grated carrots, green onions. Bouillon powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Cook till there's little to no more water in the meat

6. 6

   Add the slurry and leave to simmer for a few more minutes. Remove from heat and leave to cool.

7. 7

   --- The buns ---

8. 8

   Dissolve the Yeast and Sugar in the warm milk and leave to proof.

9. 9

   In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar, make a well at the center and add the proofed yeast, egg, and butter and mix together until a soft dough is formed.

10. 10

    Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until it’s smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes by hand.

11. 11

    Place the dough inside a very large oiled bowl (making sure you smear some oil on the surface of the dough) and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour or till doubled in size.

12. 12

    Punch down the dough to remove the trapped air and place the dough on a lightly floured work surface.

13. 13

    Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and mold each of them into a ball.

14. 14

    Take the dough one at a time and roll them out into a circular disc. Scoop the filling inside the center of the dough and gather the dough at the top. Then, pinch the top a couple of times to securely close the dough.

15. 15

    Place seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.

16. 16

    Brush with egg wash and bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
