I’ve made it twice in the last week, once for bringing life to the original recipe concept and taking some photos, and once for “recipe testing”. Aka licking the filling and testing the dough. Again. More. Soft Buns In my mouth. I like this recipe a lot, you guys.

Unlike store bought buns, these are healthy and homemade, and can be packed with any filling of your choice, be it cheese, chicken, lamb or mutton, mushrooms (choices are endless). These vegetable stuffed buns are a fun way of using leftover dough and any stuffing of your choice. These can be eaten for tea or breakfast or a satisfying meal with some salad. It works well as a snack for children to take to school, or to simply enjoy with a favorite drink at any time of the day.

These stuffed buns succeeds in titillating your senses with its soft, tenderness, and that fresh sesame-ish flavour makes these buns more appetizing. Bake Stuffed buns not because you must but because it tastes so yummy that you would regret not making it at your earliest once you devour its first bite! Having said that, I am not dropping more clues, get ready with some all purpose flour and some basic ingredients (filling of your choice) and get ready to bake fresh stuffed buns this weekend!
