How to Make Boli Buns
- Sprinkle the yeast and sugar over the water, let get bubbly and stir int he oil and salt
- Pour the liquid into a mixer bowl and add the flour, stir to mix until dough comes together and then use paddle attachment to knead until the dough clears the bowl and forms a ball. Add water if too tight or flour if not coming together
- While the dough is rising I usually prepare my fillings. Of course pepperoni and cheese is the all time favorite and there isn't any real preparation involved. Just place slices of pepperoni within an inch or 2 of the borders and top with mozzarella cheese, pecorino romano cheese, chopped basil, parsley.
- To prepare the onion, mushroom filling I slice the onions thinly, salt and cook in a teaspoon of oil until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms, garlic, red pepper flakes and salt. Microwave the spinach and drain. Add spinach to pan and cook off any water, let cool. Spread the mixture to the borders and add mozzarella and pecorino romano cheese.
- Fillings can be anything you like. I sometimes clean out my fridge using leftover meatballs, and sausage. I even use ricotta cheese. Whatever you like on a pizza can go into the fillings.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Punch the dough down and divide into 2 equal pieces.
- Roll up tight and tuck in ends. Crimp the seams so nothing escapes. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet or use parchment paper. Brush with oil, lightly.
- Cool and serve with a marinara to dip. I use left over pasta sauce or make your own. Add garlic to oil in a pan add a 14 oz can of tomato sauce, oregano, basil and parsley. Cook about 30 minutes for a quick dipping sauce.
