GARLIC BUNS

(WITHOUT EGG)

WITH STEP WISE PICTURES

Garlic Buns

               I love garlic bread from pizza hut very much… When I started eating I used to eat it very often atleast once a weekOh go on. But now that season has gone..Now its time to try it on my own Love Struck. When Suhaina posted her garlic buns,I was so happy and I know I am going to try that very soon. But the thing was,it had egg and I am not yet prepared to buy egg and handle it Silly. (she has a eggless garlic rolls version now updated in her blog)After I mailed her for an eggless version,she was very prompt to help me out and gave all the detailed tips for baking the garlic buns. I just blindly followed the recipe and tried and violaApplause! It came out great!

              So this is the second time I am trying this and wanted to write down the recipe here and this time I have halved the quantity…I really loved the buns Suhaina baked for the Singapore blogger meet (Lunch Potluck)we recently had,we all loved the flavour and the taste of the buns she brought hot hot!! As Suhaina have mentioned it so easy and you can follow the same recipe without the garlic spread part and there you got the plain o buns,you can use as phav for bhaji tooHee hee! So try it out yourself,its very easy and comes out nice for beginners in baking like me Batting Eyelashes.So after my Pizza baking attempt,I can tell this is my second successful baking attemptCool.

INGREDIENTS

Plain flour/maida 1 & 1/2 cup
Yeast 3/4 tblsp
Water 1/2 cup(add if more is needed)
Salt 3/4 tsp
Sugar 1 tblsp
Olive oil 1 tblsp

For the garlic Spread:

Garlic chopped very fine 3-5 flakes
Butter softened 2 tblsps
Chopped coriander leaves 1 tblsp

 

Garlic Buns

Method:

  1. Warm the water(not very hot,just warm) and add the yeast,sugar and salt in it and mix well. After a minute mix again to make sure the yeast gets properly dissolved.
  2. Ingredients
  3. Take the flour in a big bowl and make a dent in the centre and add the mixed yeast water.
    Add yeast mixture
  4. Knead the dough with olive oil to smooth and pliable(add 1 or 2 tablespoons of water if water is needed,the dough should not be too stiff and dry,it should be soft,smooth and pliable)
    Dough
  5. Keep covered the bowl with either a clean wet towel or a cling wrap(wrap the bowl to cover it,not the dough).
  6. After an hour,the dough should have raised double in volume. Again knead it little to make it smooth.
    Raised dough
  7. Divide into 6 equal balls and arrange it with enough gaps in a lined baking tray.
    Dough balls arraged
  8. Make a small slit on top  using a knife to fill the garlic spread. (not very deep,more on top)
  9. Keep it aside in warm place for 45  minutes to make the balls double in size.
    Raised balls
  10. Mean while make ready the spread,by mixing the butter,garlic and coriander.
    Garlic,butter and coriander
  11. Pre heat the oven for 180°C and apparently fill the spread in the slit we made in the dough balls.(I have used less,you can use more garlic spread)
    garlic spreaded over the top
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes or till you get a golden coloured buns.Just cook for needed,over baking makes it harder!
    Oven fresh buns!!
  13. Flavourful buns are ready to enjoy,I love to have it when it is still warm Whistling.
    Enjoy warm!

Garlic Buns

I am sending these buns to Sharmilee’s own first ever hosted event Let’s Munch! - Light Tea time Snack !.

Notes:

  • You can try in bread form too…I have to still try myself and later I may update the post..
  • Try the same without garlic spread,to get plain buns or paav for bhaaji.
  • You can try reducing the yeast half the quantity mentioned and keep it for long time for raising.I have not tried this but I saw this tip in Suhaina’s post.
  • I thought next time I can also add hard grated parmesan cheese in the garlic spread! Idea

RAKS KITCHEN said...

cumincoriandercardamom, Thanks so much for your nice words and feed back on the Godhuma adai!

Sathya said...

Hi..i had already tried the palak paneer and it was a gr8 success( had commented on that).. but the bun unfortunately din comeout well...i din get the color on the top of the bun and it was not very soft...wht do u think would have gone wrong rak's. i wish i would get it right from ur tip ur gonna give..thanks for the same..

RAKS KITCHEN said...

Hi sathya,I think the water quantity would have been the problem,I got two more feedback as same as yours... I want to know 1) if your dough properly raised 2)was your dough smooth and pliable and the bun dough was looking same as I have shown in the pictures before baking?
Also please refer the original recipe I have given the link,its from Suhaina's blog,you can refer that recipe too.. Hope You try it out again and it comes out soft. Add more butter in the garlic spread and stuff it half way through the bun and more on the top. Please let me know how it turned out the next time

Srimathi said...

Hi,

I love the bread texture. Its so soft and looks so wonderful.

Soumya said...

I am going to try this soon. Please let me know what kind of yeast did you use. There are different kinds available.

RAKS KITCHEN said...

I used active dry yeast.

jyothi said...

Your recipes look very delicious. Thanks for sharing it step by step. I have one request, as i am a beginner in baking it would be very helpful if you could include step by step procedure to operate the oven, especially which burner to be lit for baking cakes , how is it different from baking cakes and buns,etc. I dont know which rack to place the cake or bread. Could you help me out with it...

RAKS KITCHEN said...

Hi Jyothi,

I am really sorry, I could not help you with this...my oven is a combination oven and have no racks or burners... Yours semm to be a completely different kind. I could suggest you to read the manual and refer which rack to use and so on..

Varshini Sudharsan said...

raji...i have been a silent fan of your blog...tried these and came out fantastic....will post in my blog and link back to you :)

chk out my blog when too : http://cookingwithloveandforlove.blogspot.com/

pooja said...

Do you use some rack in your microwave convection mode...for all your baking recipes or for this recipe

RAKS KITCHEN said...

Not all times but some times,for this I just used a baking tray...

Krupa said...

Hi raks, iam not finding dry yeast in penang, only instant yeast is available so can u tell me how to i substitute instant yeast in this recipe as well as pizza and other bun recipes of yours. thanks

RAKS KITCHEN said...

Krupa, same,try adding the same as I have mentioned in the recipe. 3/4 tblsp ...

Lipsy said...

Wonderful recipe....I am a big fan of pizza hut garlic breads too...but this helps me to make my own ...BTW I have featured your blog on my Linkove this week...would love your visit!!!

Sachu said...

Hey Raks,

I like Garlic Bread. But I have a Microwave convection type oven. Can I make the same recipe in it??? Expecting your reply. I tried your eggless brownies. It was ok. Not turned out very nice. But will try again . Thanks in advance

RAKS KITCHEN said...


Yes I too made in a combination oven only. I baked in convection mode...so you too can try in convection mode
