Stuffed Buns

These buns can be considered as a complete meal. I made these buns with an egg masala stuffing. You can make these buns with your own stuffings like chicken masala, mutton masala or mixed vegetable masala.

When i baked these buns, the fresh aroma filled my home, felt like i have entered a bakery. I surprised my daughter with these mini buns when she returned home from school. Both my kids loved them a lot. The tasty stuffing enhanced the flavour of the buns that in one bite itself you can enjoy the softness of the buns and also the spicy yummy filling.

2 cups Maida/All purpose flour
1 tsp Dry yeast
3/4 cup Milk
1 Egg
8 gm Sugar
2 gm Salt
2 tsp Butter
2 tbsp Luke warm water

For Stuffing:

4 Eggs
2 Onion (medium, finely chopped)
2 Tomato (medium, Finely chopped)
1 tsp Jeera/Cumin seeds
Salt to taste
2 - 3 tbsp Kashmiri red chilli powder
1 tsp Turmeric powder
3 tbsp Oil


Method for making the Egg stuffing:

• Heat oil in a non stick pan. Add jeera and when it splutter, add onion.

• Now add the eggs and mix nicely. 
• Let it simmer for sometime. Keep stirring till the eggs are completely cooked and nicely scrambled.

Method for making the stuffed buns:

• In a small bowl, put luke warm water. Add little sugar and dry yeast in it. Mix well and keep this aside for the yeast to develop.
• In a big bowl, put maida and add the developed dry yeast into it. Give it a mix.
• Now add egg and mix again slightly.
• Add salt and the rest of the sugar. Mix.
• Now add milk, little by little and knead it into a dough.
• After 5 minutes, add the melted butter and knead again for about 10 minutes.
• The dough should become smooth and soft. Cover it with a cloth in a bowl and keep this in a warm place for about 1 - 2  hours, till it rises double.
• Once it is doubled, punch with your knuckles and knead again for about 2 - 3 minutes.
• Divide the dough equally into medium sized balls.
• Take one ball and flatten it on your palm with your fingers. 
• Fill the egg stuffing in it and carefully bring all the edges together and close it. Roll it into a ball again in your palm and place it in a greased baking tray.
• Do the same procedure with the rest of the dough.
• Give enough space in between all the balls, so that it won't stick together.
• Keep this aside covered with a cloth for about 20 - 30 minutes so that they will rise a little.
• Preheat oven in convection mode at 200 degree Celsius.
• Once they have risen, give an egg wash on top of each buns.
• Sprinkle little sesame seeds on top of each buns.
• Place the baking tray in the preheated oven for about 15 - 20 minutes or till they become golden brown colour.
• Once done, take off from the oven and let it cool a bit.
• Serve it hot.
