These buns come together super quickly so you can whip them up in no time as a breakfast or a snack. You can also prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate or freeze it for later. I decided to use pork lard for the fats, but feel free to substitute this with softened butter, if lard is not your thing.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 16 buns / 0.17 EUR per bun / 2.64 EUR for all)

For the dough:

2 eggs (0.40 EUR)

2 tbsp pork lard (0.03 EUR)

1 cup farmer’s cheese (0.80 EUR)

1 cup buttermilk (0.40 EUR)

1 and ½ tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.07 EUR)

1 tsp garlic powder (0.07 EUR)

1 tbsp sugar (0.01 EUR)

1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour (0.10 EUR)

1 and ½ cups whole-wheat flour (0.15 EUR)

3 tbsp ground flax seeds (0.10 EUR)

1 tsp baking powder (0.01 EUR)

½ tsp baking soda (0.01 EUR)

Optional – for topping:

1 egg (0.20 EUR)

2 tbsp sesame seeds (0.07 EUR)

2 tbsp cumin (0.13 EUR)

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.07 EUR)

½ tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, lard, cheese, buttermilk, salt, pepper, garlic powder and sugar until everything is creamy and fully incorporated. Add in flours, flax seeds, baking powder and baking soda. Stir until the dough starts coming together, then dump everything on a clean work surface and knead for about five minutes. Divide the dough into four parts and flatten each part into a separate disk. At this point you can wrap the discs tightly with cling foil and refrigerate for up to two days or freeze for later on.

Divide the dough discs you wanna bake immediately into fours, then shape into balls and lightly flatten on a prepared baking tray. Space the dough balls out a bit, as they will spread while they bake.

If you wanna add some toppings, brush the buns with a whisked egg and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds, cumin, black pepper and salt. Bake for 25 minutes, until puffy and golden. Allow to rest for about 5-10 minutes, then serve.

Ova peciva su odlična jer vam treba jako malo vremena za pripremu, pa ih stoga možete brzo smutiti za doručak ili snack. Tijesto se također može spremiti unaprijed i čuvati u hladnjaku ili zamrzivaču. Ja sam za masnoću upotrijebila svinjsku mast, ali vi ju slobodno zamijenite omekšanim maslacem ako niste fan.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 16 peciva / 1,22 kn po pecivu / 19,52 za sve)

Za tijesto:

2 jaja (3,00 kn)

2 žlice svinjske masti (0,20 kn)

1 šalica svježeg sira (6,00 kn)

1 šalica kiselog mlijeka (3,00 kn)

1 i ½ žličica soli (0,02 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

1 žličica češnjaka u prahu (0,50 kn)

1 žlica šećera (0,05 kn)

1 i ½ šalica glatkog brašna (0,75 kn)

1 i ½ šalica integralnog brašna (1,13 kn)

3 žlice mljevenih sjemenki lana (0,75 kn)

1 žličica praška za pecivo (0,10 kn)

½ žličice sode bikarbone (0,01 kn)

Po želji za posipanje:

1 jaje (1,50 kn)

2 žlice sezama (0,50 kn)

2 žličice kima (1,00 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

½ žličice soli (0,01 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Zagrijte pećnicu na 180°C. Protvan obložite papirom za pečenje i stavite na stranu. U velikoj zdjeli pomiješajte skupa jaja, mast, sir, kiselo mlijeko, sol, papar, češnjak i šećer, dok sve ne bude glatko i kremasto. Dodajte oba brašna, lan, prašak za pecivo i sodu bikarbonu. Miješajte dok se tijesto ne formira, pa sve iskrenite na čistu radnu plohu i mijesite pet minuta. Tijesto podijelite na četiri jednaka dijela pa svaki dio spljoštite u zaseban disk. Sada možete svaki od diskova čvrsto umotati u prijanjajuću foliju i spremiti u hladnjak, do dva dana unaprijed, ili pak zamrznuti za kasnije.

Diskove koje mislite odmah peći razdijelite na još po četiri dijela, pa svaki komad formirajte u lopticu i lagano spljoštite na pripremljenom protvanu. Peciva malo razmaknite jer će se napuhnuti kako se budu pekla.

Ako peciva želite još i posipati, lagano ih premažite razmućenim jajetom i po njima posipajte sezam, kim, papar i sol. Pecite 25 minuta, dok peciva ne budu pufasta i zlatna. Ostavite da odmore 5-10 minuta pa poslužite.
