Recipe adapted from:Raks Kitchen
Ingredients for the outer covering:
Maida(all purpose flour)- 1 ½ cup
Milk-1/4 cup
Sugar-1 tbsp
Salt-3/4 tsp
Water-1/4 cup.approx
Active dry Yeast-3/4 tbsp
Olive oil-2 tbsp
For the stuffing:
Onions-2.chopped
Red capsicum-3 tbsp,chopped
Green capsicum-3 tbsp,chopped
Yellow capsicum-3 tbsp,chopped
Garam masala powder-1 tsp
Turmeric powder-1/4 tsp
Sugar-1 pinch
Salt- to taste
Olive oil-2 tsp
Olive oil-2 tsp,to grease the baking tray
Method:
- Take warm milk and add yeast and sugar to it and keep it aside for few minutes and dissolve it completely.
- Take flour in a bowl and make a dent in the centre,add salt ,olive oil,yeast dissolved mixture and water and make a very soft dough.
- Cover the bowl with the cling film and keep it aside for an hour so that the dough doubles in size.
- Meanwhile heat oil in a pan, saute all the veggies for a while and add all the powders,salt and sugar.
- Cool it completely and keep aside.
- After an hour ,punch the dough again for sometime to remove all the air if any.
- Make 6 equal sized balls out of the dough.
- Line a baking tray with the aluminium foil and grease it with olive oil,arrange the balls in the tray with proper spacing and apply olive oil over them and keep it aside again for 10 more minutes.
- After 10 minutes take one ball at a time in your palm,flatten it with the help of your fingers and make a dent at the centre for the stuffing.
- Add the stuffing in the centre and pinch all the ends of the dough together towards the centre to cover the stuffing.
- Roll it into smooth bun and repeat the step for every bun.
- Arrange them in lined baking tray with the pinched side down.
- Brush them again with olive oil.
- Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 190 deg C and bake it for 20 minutes approx until the buns turns light brown in color.
- Remove it from the oven and brush it with oil.
My notes:
Don’t add all the water at once.(I added and the dough was little stiff)
The dough should be very soft.
It is said that when you add the yeast to the warm milk or water it raises and turns frothy which means the yeast is perfect.(Mine didn’t,may be should I should try with other brands).
I use Active dry yeast or bakers brand.
Still to master experimenting with the yeast.
Please keep an eye while the baking process is on,time may vary.
You may use your own imaginations for the stuffing.
the buns are looking too good. seeing them i wanna have them and make them soon.
