Stuffed masala buns recipe with a flavorful potato masala in middle, a perfect tea time snack and kids snack box idea. Stepwise photos.

I had long time wish for trying out these stuffed masala buns. Whenever 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. I have posted a pizza bun too check it out!

Why I love this?

These stuffed buns are 100 percent desi with the potato masala. Warm, soft and extremely delicious snack, who can say no?

If you like bakery style savory goodies, then you too will definitely love this. The stuffing is so versatile, you can listen to your kid's requests and customise accordingly!

For example, add in some grated mozzarella cheese to the stuffing and they would like the cheese pull in middle.

After using this dough recipe in all of my recipes involving dough, I am hooked to this measurements. So no need to doubt, it is a keeper recipe!

want to make it more healthier? Use my buckwheat rolls recipe or replace half the white flour with wheat flour for more fiber.

You can also add some flax egg or psyllium husk, which will give you more softer results as well as adds nutritional value.

Method

Dough

1. Warm the milk, add sugar, yeast to it and mix well. Keep aside for 5 mins. It will froth and raise.

This means your yeast is good to use in this recipe. If it doesn't, your yeast is old and not active. Do not proceed to make the recipe.

Try new stock of yeast. Just make sure the milk is just luke warm, not hot.

2. Take flour and make a dent,add water,olive oil,salt in it and the yeast completely dissolved in the milk.

Mix and make a smooth dough,keep in a warm place covered with a cling wrap for an hour.

Stuffing

Meanwhile prepare the stuffing. Cook carrot, beans, peas by steaming or pressure cooking. Set aside.
Heat a pan with oil, temper with cumin seeds /ajwain.
After that, add onion and fry till transparent.
Add the masala powder,red chilli powder,turmeric and salt and give it a quick stir.

5. Add the cooked, mashed vegetables and fry till everything blends well.

Remove from fire, add coriander leaves and lemon juice if desired,mix well.

6. 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.

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.

Stuffing

Meanwhile roll the stuffing after cooling down completely. The stuffing should be around half the size as we roll the buns.
After 10 minutes or so the rolled bun dough, would have raised again (may be I can say little). Take each bun and make a dent in the middle.

3. Keep the rolled stuffing inside and pinch all the end towards centre to cover the stuffing. Roll in to smooth bun.

4. Repeat for every bun. Arrange them in the lined baking tray. Keep the pinched/ joined side down. Brush them well with olive oil.

Preheat the oven for 190°C. When the preheat is finished, by now the buns would have raised too(refer the picture below). Brush generously with milk.

5. Bake for 17- 20 mins or until the top crust turns golden brown in colour. (Mine took exactly 19 mins) Smells heavenly!!

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!
