Masala Bun

Basket of Masala Bun

Ingredients:

Flour - 3 cups
Water - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 tbsp

Fleischmann's Yeast

Yeast - 1 tbsp
Oil/butter - 4 tbsp
Salt -1 tsp
Green chillie - 2
Curry leaves - few
Mustard - 1/4 tsp
Urad Dal - 1/tsp
Hing - a pinch
Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp (chopped)

Procedure:
     Boil the water until its warm. Into that water add the yeast and sugar, leave it for at least 10 mints, until it raise.  In a separate bowl take the flour and add the salt to it. Then add the yeast mixture and oil to it. Knead well. Keep this dough mixture closed in the bowl for 20-30 mints. A warm place is nice to keep it.
     After twenty thirty minutes the dough should have raised well like double the size. In a small pan add 1 tbsp oil and do the seasoning with chopped chillie, mustard,hing, Urad Dal and curry leaves. Add this do the dough. Mix well and keep punching the dough until it becomes soft. This punching makes the the dough areolated and make the buns really fluffy and soft. So after punching it for 10 mints and kneading well. Make small balls and slightly press it to get the bun shape.
     Take a large tray(like pizza tray) arrange this balls in a way they have 1 inch distance between them(because the bun will raise) and bake it in the oven for 20 mints 350-375 F.
Keep checking in between and take it out when they are golden brown on top.
     Since this bun has all the spice in it, it can be served just like that with a cup of hot tea.


Note: To make normal soft bun just skip the seasoning process. 
These buns can be used for making burger .
