I know it might seem like a completely different dish, and I suppose it was, but the flavours (onion, fennel, mustard, pastry) still came together really wonderfully. I'd love to make your authentic version next time, too!

I threw it out, and started again, then I decided to err on the side of safety and add a spoonful of sugar to it, and lo and behold, it frothed like a charm. It was a bit of a cold day but I put it in a warm place, no idea what went on there but anyway, this is delicious, so much better than I thought it would be. I love caramelised onions, mustard and fennel but wasn't sold on the yeasted base. I stand corrected. I made this last night and absolutely love it, though my yeast did not froth.

Keep the dough in the fridge. Warm the onions gently. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Keep the dough in the fridge. Warm the onions gently.

What is your view on cooking the onions and making the dough the day before? Hi Deb, I know you mentioned you could do the prep a few hours before.

To all those that didn't use the fennel seed - I don't like fennel at all but just added a bit anyways to see how it would turn out (I trust your taste buds Deb!). It works perfectly and doesn't really have that overpowering fennel flavour. Trust me - throw in a bit and it just starts to smell wonderful. p.s.

I just used up the last of my packs of active dry yeast and wont be able to get anymore for a while (I live in China). Is it ok to substitute instant dry yeast (i.e. SAF)? Thanks! n.

Big hit. I'm just sad I didn't get to eat more of it myself. Will definitely be making it again. Left out the fennel seeds because I'm not a huge fan and the mustard still gave it plenty of flavor. Might throw in some chopped thyme next time. Yum yum. Thanks as always! Made this over the weekend as an appetizer for my annual holiday party. Big hit.
