Ingredients:
- 235 ml (1 cup) milk
- 245 ml (1 cup) water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 10g dry yeast
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 620 g (5 cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 clove garlic
- 50 g (1/4 cup) butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, mix together the milk, water, and sugar. Sprinkle the dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until frothy.
- Add in the salt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and gradually incorporate the flour. Knead until a soft, elastic dough forms. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Form the Buns:
- Once the dough has risen, divide it into 16 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on a baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to rise and expand. Cover and let them rest for an additional 30 minutes.
3. Cook the Buns:
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once the buns have completed their second rise, gently flatten them slightly and place them in the skillet (you may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding).
- Cook each bun for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly.
4. Prepare the Garlic-Parsley Oil:
- While the buns are cooking, melt the butter in a small pan and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Add finely minced garlic to the pan and sauté until it is fragrant but not browned. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
5. Serve:
- While the buns are still warm, brush them generously with the garlic-parsley oil. Serve them warm as a savory breakfast option or as a delectable side dish for your meals.
These Fluffy Skillet Buns, with their soft interior and slightly crisp exterior, promise a delightful texture and flavor that can elevate your meals or snacks. The gentle aroma of garlic and parsley in the oil further enhances their appeal, making them an irresistible treat that will have you reaching for just one more!
