Vegetable Stuffed Bun

I never thought that one day I would also make soft stuffed buns at home which we used to buy only from bakery during my childhood days.

Thanks to Raks. Without your recipe, I would have not thought about trying this stuffed bun. I inspired by your recipe and tried a very slightly changed version as per my family’s taste. The outcome… wow..it was awesome.

Basic Information:

Preparation Time: 45 minutes

Idle Time: 1 hour 45 minutes

Cooking Time: 15-20 minutes

Makes: 6 buns

Ingredients:

For dough:

Strong bread flour / Maida / All purpose flour  – 1 and 1/2 cups

Milk – 1/2 cup or more as required to make soft dough

Active dry yeast – 1 packet / 7gram

Sugar – 1 tablespoon

Salt – 1/2 teaspoon

Olive oil – 3 tablespoons

Milk / Olive Oil / Butter – 3 tablespoons, for brushing

Sesame seeds –  1 tablespoon, for sprinkling

For vegetable stuffing:

Oil – 2 teaspoons

Garlic – 4 cloves, finely chopped

Ginger – 1 inch length, minced

Onion – 1 very small no, finely chopped

Mixed vegetables – 2 cups (I added carrot, peas, potato,green and red capsicum)

Chat masala – 1 teaspoon

Amchoor powder – 1 teaspoon

Salt – to taste

Red chilli powder – 1 teaspoon

Coriander powder – 1 teaspoon

Method:

For vegetable stuffing:

1) In a kadai/pan heat oil. Add chopped garlic, ginger and onion. Fry till they are soft.

2) Add mixed vegetable of your choice and sprinkle little water. Cover and cook for few minutes till the vegetables are cooked.

3) Once the vegetables are cooked, add chat masala, amchoor powder, salt, red chilli powder and coriander powder. Mix well.

4) Cook for another few minutes or till the raw smell of masala goes off.

5) The vegetable stuffing is ready and allow it to cool for sometime.

For dough and making bun:

1) Microwave or heat the 1/2 cup of milk to lukewarm temperature. Add sugar and yeast and mix well till both  dissolve well. Keep aside for 7 minutes to 10 minutes for proofing.

2) In a wide mixing bowl, take the flour and pour the proved milk yeast sugar mixture. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and salt to taste. Start mixing it using your hand and make a soft dough. Add more warm milk if required.

3) Knead it for 10-15 minutes.  After 15 minutes, apply olive oil coating and keep in the mixing bowl. Cover it using a cling wrap or cloth. Keep this bowl at warm place till it doubles or for an hour.

4) Meanwhile prepare the stuffing as described above and divide the stuffing into 6 equal parts as per the count of dough balls.

5) After an hour, you can see the dough has doubled in its size.

6) Punch it back and slightly knead it again with the help of oil.

7) Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and roll into balls.

8) Line the baking tray with baking sheet.

9) Take a 1 dough ball and roll into a small disc.

10) Place stuffing in the centre of dough disc and bring the edges to seal.

11) Place this bun in the baking tray. Repeat this step for other dough balls.

12) Cover using a cling wrap and keep aside for 30-45 minutes for the second rise.

13) Preheat the oven to 190C(375F).

14) After the second rise of the buns, brush the buns with milk/olive oil and sprinkle the sesame seeds.

15) Bake it for 15-20 minutes or till the buns turns golden brown in colour.

16) Apply a coating of olive oil/butter over buns and serve warm.

Note:

1) Stuffing is based on your choice. It can be a meat/chicken/paneer/tofu or it can any of your favourite vegetables.

2) Make sure the dough in very soft and NOT hard to make soft buns.

Hi Uma,

I tried this but my the dough didnt rise but the buns were soft and spongy. I used Instant rise yeast. what could have went wrong??

Hi Uma,
The dough didnt rise as shown here though the buns were soft and nice. I used instant rise yeast. What could have gone wrong??

Hi Sujatha,

Usually if you use Instant Rise yeast, it should be very active and make the dough to rise in shorter period of time. However, if you use instant rise yeast when the recipe calls for active dry yeast, the rise will be slightly less. other than this, Did u check the expiry date of the Yeast? also, instant rise yeast doesn't require proofing and you can directly add it to the dough.

hai uma
tried ur recipe for buns.my yeast proved well but my dough didn't rise double in size but raised more than half.but the bun was soft from inside.(used only active dry yeast).and also my buns were little flat in shape(didn'd get a big dome).could that be cos of dough being very loose?.also after i baked the bottom part of the bun is brown in color and little hard while the upper part never got ur beautiful brown color:( what hav i done wrong???plse do reply .would love to try this again very soon

Did you keep the dough in warm place for raising? Did you stuff correct quantity(Not over stuffing) of vegetables inside the bun? The perfect kneaded dough should spring back when you touch towards inside. Not following either of these two reasons might have resulted in flat shape. guess oven temperature is not uniform in this case for uneven browning. I baked it with the option of top and bottom heating. Hope I cleared your doubts.

i didn't stuff it with vegs instead did it plain as the dough didn't rise to its volume.kept it in a warm place.what should be the consistency of the dough before first rise?mine was loose and after first proving i put a finger inside the dough and it stayed is it correct?.what could be the reason ( my yeast proved well before mixing with dough)

Unknown

Before first raise, the dough should be ELASTIC and PLIABLE. After first raise(if the dough didn't raise properly in an hour, u can also keep it for longtime), when u punch it, it stays as it is. then, you need to knead it for 10-20 minutes till the dough springs back when u touch it.
