Stuffed Vegetable Masala Buns

stuffedmasalabuns

For this month’s Bread Bakers, our host Deepthi of Baking Yummies suggested to bake yeasted or quick, sweet or savory rolls. I loved the Iyengar Bakery style khara buns that I had tried few months back. So I was looking for a similar kind of  Indian inspired rolls, and saw this stuffed masala buns in Rak’s Kitchen. These buns are similar to the ones we get in Iyengar bakery. The buns are so easy and quick to make. They taste really good with a cup of tea.

  • Lightly oil a bowl and place the dough in it. Cover with a cling wrap and keep in a warm place for 1 hour or until almost doubled.

To make the stuffing

  • Mash the boiled potatoes and set aside. Steam the carrot, beans and green peas until soft.

To make the buns

  • Punch the dough and divide into 6 equal balls. Place them on a lined tray for 30 minutes and cover loosely with a cling wrap.
  • Take each bun and slightly flatten them. Place 1 tbsp of the stuffing inside and bring all sides to center and cover the stuffing. Pinch the ends and roll and shape to a smooth bun.
  • Place the prepared buns in the lined tray for 10-15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 190 C. Brush the buns with olive oil or butter. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top,
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the buns are golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • If using active dry yeast, add yeast to milk-water mixture and let sit for 10 minutes or until yeast is foamy.
  • Add more water if required to form the dough. The dough should be soft and non-sticky. Add little flour and knead well if sticky.
  • You can prepare the stuffing with your choice of vegetables and adjust spices accordingly.
