TOOLS

Directions

The Filling

1In a large bowl place, all of the above salad ingredients mix to combine.

2Use ice-cream scoop to layer a generous dollop onto prepared slider buns then top with rocket and close with bun top. Skewer with a cornichon.

The Buns

1Preheat over to 180C fan forced

2In a large bowl, add all bun ingredients and mix with your hands until you have a dough. Then set aside to rest for 10-15 minutes

3After the dough has rested, scoop out a portion with the ice-cream scoop and weigh (using scales so they are all the same) then dip the dough ball in flour and roll into ball.

4Place each ball of dough on the lined tray, leaving some room between.

5Place the bun glaze ingredients (except the bagel seasoning) in a small ramekin melt for 10 seconds in the microwave mix then brush tops of buns.

6Sprinkle tops with everything bagel seasoning & bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.

7Allow buns to cool completely before cutting in half gently with a serrated knife & lightly butter the bases with Nuttelex.
