Method

How it comes together

1. 1

   Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/4 cup warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes. In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, egg, olive oil, and remaining warm water. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and soft.

2. 2

   Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place until doubled.

3. 3

   Punch down, divide into 12 portions, and shape into oval buns. Place on a sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Gently fry buns for 2 to 3 minutes per side until puffed and golden. Drain on paper towels and let cool.

6. 6

   Slice open each bun lengthwise. Spread harissa inside, and fill with cubed potatoes, flaked tuna, sliced eggs, black olives, and capers.
