Wheat flour garlic buns

A healthy snack that can be made easily if you are familiar with baking.


Ingredients:
  • Wheat flour - 2 cups
  • Dry yeast - 4 tbsp
  • Sugar - 2 tbsp
  • Salt - as per taste
  • Garlic cloves - 8 to 10
  • Melted butter - 4 tbsp
  • White Sesame seeds
  • Oergano sprinkles
Steps:
  1. Take a cup of warm water, add sugar and dry yeast. Set aside for 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. Once the yeast has fermented and frothy, add wheat flour, salt, melted butter, crushed garlic and Oregano sprinkles to the liquid mixture. Mix well and knead the flour. Add more water if required. Knead until the dough attains chapati dough consistency.
  3. Apply little olive oil (or any cooking oil) to the dough and set it aside for 20 to 25 minutes.
  4. Once the dough is risen, knead it again. Then use a knife to cut it into six or seven equal portions. Shape them into neat balls, place them in an oven tray. 
  5. Apply a thin coat of milk on the dough balls. Sprinkle sesame seeds on the dough balls and press the seeds gently. Set aside the dough balls for another 10 minutes.
  6. Bake them in a conventional oven at 180°C for 15 to 20 minutes. Alternative method is to bake them over a circular griddle and a large vessel as cover. Bake until the outer layer turns light brown. Switch off oven and take out the buns, place them on a grill to cool down.
This bun can be eaten plain when its still warm or made into mini burgers. Stays good up to 2 days outside a fridge.
