🌾RECIPE BELOW🌾Bialys are delicious, chewy bread rolls usually with onions and poppyseeds in the center. Breadtopia's recipe from a few years back is for sourdough leavening so we're offering instant yeast instructions now too. (The original recipe with neat bialy history is here: b7p.org/8tn2E)
DOUGH
800g bread and whole wheat flours 66:34 ratio (6 1/4 cups)
550g water (2 1/3 cups)
18g salt (3 1/4 tsp)
7g instant yeast (2 tsp)
ONION FILLING
1 large onion minced
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
1-2 tsp poppyseeds
pinch of salt
DATE-CHEESE FILLING
10 dried dates, minced
2 ½ oz crumbled goat cheese
1-2 Tbsp chopped rosemary
1 Tbsp honey
INSTRUCTIONS
For the onion filling, saute until soft. For the date filling, combine ingredients.
Mix dough until smooth and elastic, kneading or running a mixer several minutes.
Cover and let rise until doubled, 1-3 hours, temp dependent.
Divide the dough in 14 pieces and roll into balls. Place on parchment lined baking sheets with at least 2 inches between, cover with a damp tea towel. Let rise again until doubled, 1-2 hours.
Preheat oven to 475°F.
From the center of the rolls, press outward to make depressions. Spoon filling into each depression.
Bake 12-13 minutes. Switch to the broil setting for the last minute or two if you want caramelization of the toppings.
