STUFFED BUNS / STUFFED MASALA BUNS

         I had long time wish for trying out these  stuffed buns/masala buns. When ever any of our blogger friends post stuffed buns, I always wish I could try it out and today is the day! I just followed the same recipe for the dough as my pizza dough…Stuffing also of our own choice/imagination.

Stuffed Masala Buns

INGREDIENTS

For the Dough

Maida/All purpose flour 1 & 1/2 cups
Milk 1/4 cup
water 1/4 cup(add if more needed)
Active dry yeast 3/4 tblsp
sugar 1 tblsp
Salt 3/4 tsp
Olive oil 3 tblsp

For stuffing:

Potato 2 nos. (small)
carrot/beans/peas(together) 1/2 cup
Onion 1 no.
Jeera or ajwain/omam 1 tsp
Garam masala powder 1/4 tsp
Red chilli powder 1/4 tsp
Turmeric powder 1/8 tsp
Coriander leaves & lemon Juice As needed
Oil 1 tsp
Salt As needed

 

Stuffed Masala Buns

Method:

  1. Warm the milk,add sugar to it and mix well. Add the yeast to it and mix well. Keep aside.
  2. Take flour and make a dent,add water,olive oil,salt in it and the yeast completely dissolved in the milk.
    flour
  3. Mix and make a smooth dough,keep in a warm place covered with a cling wrap for an hour.

    stuffing preparation
  5. Add the masala powder,red chilli powder,turmeric and salt and give it a quick stir.
    stuffing preperation
  6. Add the cooked,mashed vegetables and fry till everything mixes well.
    add the cooked veggie
  7. Remove from fire and add the coriander leaves and lemon juice if desired,mix well.
    stuff
  8. By now/after an hour, the dough we prepared would have doubled in size. Take it again and just give it a gentle knead and make six equal sized balls.
    double raised dough
  9. Line a baking tray with aluminium foil,grease with olive oil and arrange the rolled balls with enough spacing between them. Brush with olive oil .
    roll into balls
  10. Meanwhile roll the stuffing after cooling down completely.The stuffing should be around half the size as we roll the buns.
    roll the stuffing
  11. After 10 minutes or so the rolled bun dough, would have raised again ( may be I can say little) .
  12. Take each bun and make a dent in the middle.
    make dent
  13. Keep the rolled stuffing inside and pinch all the end towards centre to cover the stuffing.
    keep stuff pinch
  14. Roll in to smooth bun. Repeat for every bun. Arrange them in the lined baking tray. Keep the pinched joined side down.Brush them well with olive oil.
    roll smoothly
  15. Preheat the oven for 190°C. When the preheat is finished,by the time the buns would have raised too(refer the picture below).
    Arranged doubled
  16. Bake for 17- 20 mins or until the top crust turns golden brown in colour. (Mine took exactly 19 mins) Smells heavenly!! 
    Baked
  17. After finished baking,brush them with butter or oil and enjoy with tea/evening snack! This would be a great snack for kids after they come back from school!

Stuffed masala buns

Notes:

  • You can use the stuffing of your choice,use your imagination and adjust according to your taste!
  • I have measure everything properly and tried my best to give the exact measurement.Just adjust the water quantity alone if you feel the dough is very stiff.
  • The dough should be soft and pliable,not stiff.
  • The Yeast is very important factor,let it be active and fresh,otherwise the whole recipe is flop. I have shown the pictures how the dough is doubled,so if yours is not raising properly then you can know that your yeast is not active.

 

Please refer to my fellow blogger’s stuffed buns too:

=> Lataji’s Healthy version of stuffed buns.

=>Another interesting stuffed masala buns from the blog Ruchika cooks.

Home Cooked Oriya Food said...

Pavithra said...

Hey exactly I use same pizza dough for making buns some time ..I love it a lot. And some time wheat dough for making buns which is more healthier. And I need not say anything abt ur finish, ur step pictures and also the photos. Anytime everytime it comes out neat and good right Raji... But really wish I could drop in ur place if i was there.

Pavithra said...

Raji One small suggestion just brush milk or little cream before baking to get nice shiny golden color on top of the bun and sprinkle little sesame seeds, I do it with egg since u dont I told this dear.

Janu said...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!! All I can say for this pretty, chubby looking bun is "You are cuteeeee as your maker" :D

RAKS KITCHEN said...

pavi, Ya I did the same for my garlic buns(brushed with milk) this time I dint do coz I used milk to knead,but I think as u have said,brushing with milk make the outer crust look nice colour,will keep that in mind :)

himani said...

Hi Raji,
I have been a silent visitor for quite sometime. I've to tell you this, you are at the top of my blog visit list. All your recipes are simple, easy to follow and the best of all, your clicks...they make people or me at least drool over and I can't wait to try them at home. I was looking at pics of these kind of stuffed buns on others blog and wanting to the make them at home for quite some time. But when you do it, it pushes me to the edge and I can't wait any longer. Stepwise pics, instructions and your snaps inspire me a lot to go to my kitchen right when I read any of your posts
Keep up the awesome work...

Hello, I live in Botswana. My hometown is Bangalore. When we were young we used to relish on potato buns on our way home from school. I was actually thinking to make this from a long time and finally I did so. A special thanks to for the step by step recipe. It came out wonderful and tasted very good. A wonderfully executed recipe

Mitha said...

hey Raji am gonna try this recipe today . would update u !!!

Mitha said...

Hi Raks bun turned out really good
but I added less salt and i baked it in convection mode for 25 minutes and then put under grill for 5 minuted. but the buns did nt brown on the top. it looked plain white in colour.
what should ve been done ?
what should i do when I bake nbext time ?
can i refrigerate the dough and use the other day ?
many thanks
I never thought stuffed buns are made so easily
and without ur step by step instructions my buns would ve turned disasterous

Kalyani said...

this looks awesome ! Only one thing I wanted to clarify is that after we let the buns rise for the 2nd time, shud we out in the stuffing? When does the milk wash come in?
