Ingredients

500 g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
Pinch None salt
30 g sugar
2 medium eggs
50 g butter, chilled and grated
200 ml milk
42 g fresh yeast
1 tbsp olive oil
1 None onion, peeled and chopped
400 g streaky bacon, chopped

Directions

1

Place the flour in a large bowl with the salt, sugar, 1 egg and grated butter.
2

Heat the milk to lukewarm, sprinkle the yeast evenly and stir until dissolved. Allow to sit for 5 minutes or until active. Add yeast to the flour mixture and mix with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix until a dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth. Leave, covered, in a warm place for 45 mins.
3

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion and saute for 3-5 mins, add the bacon and cook for 3-5 mins. Set aside to cool.
4

Briefly knead the dough and divide into 4 equal pieces. Split each into 4 more pieces. Roll into balls. On a lightly floured work surface roll out the balls, to create circles of dough. Place the bacon on one half of each pastry circle, leaving a 1/3 inch border. Fold in half and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
5

Place the pasties onto sheet trays lined with parchment paper. Cover and leave for 15 mins. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Beat the remaining egg, brush over the pasties and bake for 20 mins. Allow to cool on a wire rack and serve warm.
