Masala stuffed Buns

DSC_1168

I love all breads but I have a special soft corner for stuffed buns and breads. It makes for sumptuous snacks and the possibilities are endless. Stuffed buns are my favorite gateway to finish up leftovers and clear out the refrigerator. Though I did not use leftovers for this one since I had guests over but feel free to go where your imagination takes you.

Why I like this bread?

These stuffed buns are an easy bake with only a single rise needed for the dough. That makes it a comparatively quicker snack. It can be used as a decoy to get kiddos to eat all the veggies they otherwise refuse. Just add some cheese and stuff into these soft buns and life will be so much simpler for you.
