For the Bun

Ingredients

Al Purpose Flour-225gms

Active yeast-1 1/4tsp

Butter-1tsp

Sugar–2 tsp

Salt-5gms

Water-120ml(1/2cup)

Method

Pre heat ur oven for 10 minutes at 200degree Celsius ..

In a big bowl pour water and add sugar ,salt and mix ..

Then add yeast and mix well and wait for 5 minutes ..

Then add flour in small amounts and mix well ..

Knead for 5 to 10 minutes until u get a soft dough ..

Cover the bowl with a wet musline cloth and leave it in a dry warm place for about 5 minutes ..

After 5 minutes take out the dough add butter to it ..

Knead  for 2 to 3 minutes and again allow to rest for 30 minutes ..

Then take out the dough and make them into 8 equal parts ..(u can do this  in a clean kitchen countertop ,dust with some flour b4 placing the dough )..

Make each ball into round shape..

Now take each ball as we do for making aloo paratha ,stuff the dough with 1  1/2 tbsp of filling and close carefully ..(filling should not be hot )

Do same with rest of the balls and place them in the baking tray (i placed aluminium foil in the tray ,if u have spray u can use that )

Again rest these balls rest for 20  minutes ..(always cover with the wet cloth )

Now brush each with water (if u want u can brush with butter or egg )

Now bake for 15 minutes at 200 degree Celsius …

Each oven differs so bake till u see golden colour on the top..

Then remove from the oven and brush with butter on top to get shiny glaze …

At first u feel the bun to be hard but don’t worry after 5 minutes it will become soft …

So dears y waiting … try this yummy bun at ur home and surprise   ur dear ones

Note :

If u want u can make bun bit more sweeter ,,

u can make ur own choice of  masala

last week i made bread masala ,i mean fill the bread with this kind of masala ,make to ball  and fry in the oil..

that is very crunchy snack …tasty too ..

If u want plain bun follow the same recipe except the filling …

If u want u can add spices of ur choice while mixing the  flour ..

So if u have any doug regarding the bun and masala recipe plz ask me ..

Love

🙂
