COOKBOOK / 34413
In a bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the milk and knead until you get a soft dough. Then, add the oil and knead it in well. Lightly grease the bowl, place the dough inside, brush a little oil on top, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for about an hour until it doubles in size.
While the dough is resting, heat some oil in a pan. Add the ginger-garlic paste and onions, and cook for a minute until fragrant. Toss in the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, chili flakes, and cumin seeds, then stir well. Add the capsicum, mix everything together, then stir in the mayonnaise. Turn off the heat and set the filling aside.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and knead it briefly. Divide it into small balls. On a floured surface, flatten each ball, place some of the chicken filling in the center, then brush the edges with water and seal it tightly to form a bun.
Place the buns on a baking tray, brush the tops with beaten egg, and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let them cool slightly, then enjoy your homemade chicken-filled buns!
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through before filling the rolls to avoid undercooked meat.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for the best fluffiness.
- Brush the rolls with egg wash before baking for a golden, shiny finish.
These rolls are a delicious way to enjoy tender chicken wrapped in soft, warm dough. They combine comforting flavors with a satisfying texture, making them perfect for family meals or gatherings. Plus, they’re easy to customize with your favorite herbs and spices.
Serve these rolls warm alongside a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables. They also pair well with a dipping sauce like ranch, garlic butter, or a spicy aioli to add extra flavor.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, warm them in the oven or microwave until heated through. For longer storage, freeze the rolls and thaw before reheating.
