Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 45 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

for a 9-inch mini baking pan

Put the flour in a bowl, make a well in the center, and sprinkle in the yeast and sugar. Add the lukewarm water and make a pre-dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes. In the meantime, roughly chop the remaining ingredients. Add the oil and salt to the pre-dough and knead vigorously. Knead in the prepared ingredients. Divide the dough into 9 portions, place in the rinsed tins, and cover and let rise in a warm place for another 30 minutes. Fill a large ovenproof container with hot water and place it on the floor of the oven. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/convection oven (200°C top/bottom heat). Bake the patties on the middle rack for about 20 minutes. To achieve a nice crust, you can increase the oven temperature to 200°C for the last 5 minutes. Let the patties cool in the tin.
