Lithuanian Bacon Buns (Lasineciai)
This was a neighborhood bakery favorite in my Chicago neighborhood that everyone loved. I thought I would try to make them myself. It's a little different than the original from Lithuania (I don't add the onion and the bacon is crispy), but it's really good and you can't add too much bacon. Next time I'm going to add more bacon in mine.
Ingredients
· 2 1/2 lbs bacon cut into thin short strips
· 450 ml scalded milk cooled to slightly warm
· 50 g sugar
· 14 g active dry yeast
· 680 g all purpose flour
· 1 stick butter softened
· 2 eggs
· 14 g salt
· 1 egg
· 1 tbsp water
Instructions
1. Cook bacon in pan until crisp.
2. Remove bacon from pan and set aside. Drain off most of the fat.
3. Mix sugar and milk in a bowl. Bloom the yeast in the mixture until frothy
4. Add flour and salt to a mixing bowl and combine. Stir in milk/sugar/yeast mixture and 2 eggs. Mix with dough hook on low until well combined and starting to become a supple dough.
5. Add softened butter, a little at a time, while continuing to run the mixer, until all combined. Continue kneading on medium until a supple dough is formed.
6. Allow dough to rise until doubled in size. Punch down on a well-floured surface–it will be a sticky dough–and separate into balls of approximately 75 grams each–you should end up with 17 or so.
7. Pat each dough ball out into an elongated oval 6" or 7" long by 4" wide. Place a generous spoonful of the bacon and onion mixture in the center and seal the dough around it. To seal, pinch the sides together in 3 places, making sure they stick. Then bring the ends in and pinch them together.
8. Once sealed, place each roll seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced to allow room for rise, about 12 on a standard cookie sheet arranged 4×3.
9. Preheat the oven to 350° F while allowing the rolls to proof for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
10. Mix the remaining egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush egg wash over the rolls and bake 25-28 minutes until golden brown.
11. Serve while still warm if possible but they will keep for a day or so. Freeze if they need to be held longer.
