Ingredients
250 ml water (lukewarm)
8 g instant yeast
12 g honey
35 ml sunflower oil
400 g flour
50 g fine semolina
8 g salt
20 g butter
1 egg (for egg wash)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
400 g ground beef
4 g salt
3 g cumin powder
2 g garlic powder
3 g ras el hanout (a Moroccan spice blend)
2 g black pepper
2 g cayenne powder
10 g fresh parsley (chopped)
100 g yellow onion (finely chopped)
50 g tomato (chopped)
30 ml olive oil
Cheese spread
Slices of cheese (e.g., cheddar or Gouda)
Grated cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, combine lukewarm water, instant yeast, and honey. Stir well and let it rest for 5 minutes. Add sunflower oil, flour, fine semolina, salt, and butter. Knead the dough for 10-12 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, cumin powder, garlic powder, ras el hanout, black pepper, cayenne powder, parsley, onion, tomato, and olive oil. Mix well and set aside.
- Shape the Buns: Once the dough has risen, divide it into 12 equal pieces (about 60 grams each). Shape each piece into a ball, then roll each into a flat circle on a floured surface.
- Assemble the Buns: On half of the dough circles, place a slice of cheese, leaving the edges free. Spoon a portion of the beef mixture over the cheese and add a dollop of cheese spread on top. Cover with the second dough circle and press the edges down firmly to seal the filling inside.
- Let the Dough Rise: Place the filled buns on a parchment-lined tray. Spread a thin layer of cheese spread on top of each bun and sprinkle with grated cheese. Let the buns rise for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
- Bake the Buns: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. For a crisp bottom, place the tray slightly lower in the oven.
- Serve: Let the buns cool slightly before serving.
