Where to find ingredients
You will find all these items at your local Coles or Woolworths. For the frankfurts, head to the chilled deli or smallgoods aisle. Look for dried yeast sachets in the baking supplies section near the flour. For a more authentic flavour, visit an independent local butcher for quality frankfurts or a continental grocer to stock up on specific Brazilian pantry essentials.
Preparation method
- Place the eggs into a blender
- Add the fresh continental parsley
- Pour in the milk
- Add the vegetable oil
- Season with the salt
- Add the yeast and sugar to the blender, then blitz until smooth
- Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl and gradually stir in the plain flour
- Knead the dough by hand on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, ensuring it no longer sticks to your hands
- Cover the bowl and let the dough prove in a warm spot for one hour
- In a large frying pan, sauté the diced onion
- Add the capsicum and tomatoes, cooking until they soften
- Stir in the tomato passata
- Mix in the mustard and tomato sauce to combine
- Season the mixture to your liking and fold in the sliced frankfurts to complete the filling
- Line a baking dish with half of the rested dough
- Spread the mashed potato in an even layer over the base of the dough
- Spoon the sausage and tomato filling evenly over the potato layer
- Cover the filling with the remaining dough, sealing the edges well
- Brush a beaten egg yolk over the top to ensure a golden finish
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown
