Stuffed Buns



















Pizza/Bread dough - Refer to my pizza recipe
Potato Peas masala - Refer to my Aloo Matar recipe
Egg - 1/ Milk - 4 tbsp

Optional toppings (Just to make them look pretty :))
Jalapeno - 1
Shredded cheese - 1/2 cup
Black pepper/Red pepper flakes - 1 tsp

Mix the pizza dough according to the recipe. Else, use fresh store bought bread or pizza dough. Here in the US, we can buy fresh whole wheat pizza dough, at most grocery stores and super markets. This makes baking pizzas and other such dishes, really easy to make.
Prepare the potato fry, or any other stuffing of your choice. I made the potato fry from my previous post, just made it nutritious, by adding a bunch of chopped spinach along with the onions.
Take a golf ball size of the dough. Spread it with your hands and place some of the stuffing in the center. Close the edges, and form into a ball again. This process is similar to how we make parathas, before rolling them out.
Place the stuffed dough balls on a baking sheet. Whisk an egg, and brush it on the dough. Else, use milk. (This helps the buns turn a lovely golden brown)
Top with thinly sliced Jalapeno, a sprinkle of cheese and pepper.
Bake in a pre-heated 425F oven for about 12 to 15 min, until they are golden brown on top.

Serve hot with ketchup, hot sauce or any chutney of your choice.
