👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and sugar. Add 1 cup of warm water and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Cover and let rest for 10-15 minutes until bubbly.
- 2
Add olive oil and salt to the dough. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time.
- 3
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1.5-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- 4
While the dough rises, prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced boiled potatoes, chopped olives, harissa paste, and chopped parsley. Mix well.
- 5
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into an oval bun. You can roll them out and cut with a round cutter, then shape into ovals, or freehand shape them.
- 6
Heat about 2 inches of neutral oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 350-375°F (175-190°C).
- 7
Carefully fry the buns in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed up. Drain on paper towels.
- 8
Once cooled slightly, slice each bun lengthwise, creating a pocket. Fill generously with the prepared tuna mixture. Serve immediately.
