Mediterranean Fava Bean Honey Buns

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by cooking the fava beans in boiling water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and mash them into a smooth paste.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed fava beans, whole wheat flour, honey, olive oil, oregano, yeast, and salt.

3. 3

   Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

5. 5

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

6. 6

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions. Shape each portion into a bun and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

7. 7

   Let the buns rise again for about 20 minutes.

8. 8

   Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
