Serves: 12

Ingredients

For the dough
 500 g strong white flour
 320 ml water
 7 g instant yeast
 10 g salt
 Olive oil, for greasing
For the filling
 6 pork sausages
 1 medium red onion, sliced
 200 g Dubliner Vintage, grated

Directions

1

To make the dough, place all the dry ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, ensuring the salt and the yeast are not touching.

2

Mix briefly to combine then add the water and knead on a low setting for 8-10 minutes. The dough should be coming away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.

3

Transfer dough to a large bowl that’s been oiled. Cover and place somewhere warm-ish until roughly doubled in size. 45 minutes to 1 hour. (Longer if the space is cooler).

4

While dough is rising start preparing the filling. Cook the onion over medium heat with a drizzle of oil until soft. Remove onion from the pan and set aside to cool.

5

Using the same pan, cook the sausages and then set aside to cool. Once cold, cut into 1cm slices, and then each slice into quarters.

6

Once dough has risen, roll on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle roughly 50 x 30cm. Tip: It’s easier if the longer side is nearest to you as you will be rolling it up from the longer side.

7

Scatter over the grated Dubliner Vintage, cooked onion and sausage pieces. Make sure these are scattered over the whole piece of dough from edge to edge, except for a 2cm border one the longer edge closest to you.

8

Starting on the longer side furthest from you, roll up the dough towards yourself. Use a sharp floured knife to cut the roll into 12 even pieces.

9

Grease the holes of a 12-hole muffin tin with olive oil.

10

Push each roll, cut-side up, into each hole. Lightly brush the top of the rolls with a little bit of olive oil then cover loosely with oiled cling film. Set aside somewhere warm-ish for about 30 minutes to rise a little.

11

Pre-heat oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / gas 6.

12

Bake the Chelsea buns for 20-25 mins until golden and risen. Leave to cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes, then run a blunt knife around the edges of each to loosen from the tin and lift out to enjoy while still warm, or cool completely on a wire rack.
