Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups – plain flour/maida
• 3/4 tbsp – Yeast
• 1/2 cup – water (add more if needed)
• 3/4 tsp – salt
• 1 tbsp – Sugar
• 1 tbsp – Olive oil
• For the Garlic spread:
• 3-5 flakes – garlic, chopped very fine
• 2 tbsp – butter, softened
• 1 tbsp – chopped Coriander leaves

Method:

  1. Warm water and add the yeast, sugar and salt and mix well.
  2. After a minute, mix again to make sure the yeast is properly dissolved.
  3. Take the flour in a big bowl, make a dent in the centre and add the yeast water.
  4. Knead with olive oil to make a smooth and pliable dough (add 1-2 tbsp of water if needed).
  5. Cover the bowl with a clean, wet towel or a cling wrap.
  6. After an hour, the dough should have increased to double in volume. Knead again to make it smooth.
  7. Divide into 6 equal balls and arrange it with enough gaps in a lined baking tray.
  8. Make a small slit on top using a knife to fill the garlic spread.
  9. Keep aside in a warm place for 45 minutes to allow the balls to double in size.
  10. In the meantime, get the spread ready by mixing butter, garlic and coriander.
  11. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees and fill the spread in the slit made in the dough balls.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the buns turn golden.
