I love bread rolls, but also like a sweet and savoury filling. Here I made the apple and red onion filling to encase the bread roll.

Filling

1 red onion, cut into small pieces
Directions
- In a jug add the warm water, sugar and sprinkle yeast on top. Mix together and leave to sit for 5 minutes or when the yeast has frothed.
- Filling- peel and cut apples and red onion. In a pot put apples and 2 Tbsp water and cook apples on medium high heat and cook for 10-15 minutes, or till apples are soft.
- In a small fry pan, add 1 tsp oil and cook onion on medium heat for 5 minutes or until onion is soft.
- In a large bowl or electric mixer with dough hook. Add flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and mix all until dough comes together. If making by hand, knead for five minutes, or using a electric mixer, with dough hook, mix for 10 minutes until dough is nice and smooth. Roll into a ball.
