Serves: 12 buns
Ingredients
Dough:
2¼ tsp instant yeast
1⅓ cups warm water
2 Tbsp olive oil
3¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp Italian seasoning
.
Filling:
5 small yellow onions, sliced
3 Tbsp olive oil
150g thick pancetta, diced
1 granny smith apple, diced into small pieces
250g gyere cheese, grated
Instructions
To make dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, stir together yeast and water and let stand until frothy, about 5 minutes. Add in olive oil, flour, salt, sugar and seasoning and knead until dough pulls away from sides of the bowl. Dough should be tacky and elastic. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and keep in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1½ to 2 hours.
While dough is rising, caramelize onions. In a large skillet, saute onions in oil over low heat, stirring often, until onions have cooked down and turned deep brown in colour, about 2 hours.
Toss in pancetta and apples and cook for another few minutes until golden.
Preheat oven to 350°.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out into a large rectangle, about 18" x 14". Cover dough with onion mixture and grated cheese. Carefully roll up dough on the long edge (as you would cinnamon buns). Cut into 12 rolls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until dough as browned.
