Chicken stuffed buns

26 July 2016

While browsing foodblogs, I realised that making bread can actually be easy ! So I bought dehydrated yeast, that you can easily buy in supermarket (though I’m in France, I hope you find them too). And I decided to make chicken stuffed buns, because it sounded delicious 🙂

What’s really cool about that recipe is that you can make it with any stuffing you want. If your a vegeterian, you can use mushrooms instead of chicken for example.

For the bread :

[icon-box icon=beaker width=5/5]

250g flour
140g water
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 sachet of dehydrated yeast (3/4g)

For the suffing (I chose chicken because I had some in the freezer) :

[icon-box icon=beaker width=4/5]
[clear h=3]

1 onion
125g chicken breast
2 dried tomatoes
1/2 stock cube
50g cream cheese
Herbs (parsley, chives, basil…)
Pepper

For the bread :

Mix together the flour, water, yeast, oilve oil, salt and sugar. Knead until it forms a dough and let it rise in a warm place for an hour or so : it must double the volume.

During that time, prepare the stuffing !

Don’t add salt until you tasted it, the stock cube is pretty salty.

Cook the chicken with half the onion and a little bit of olive oil. Then, mix together all the ingredients in a blender. Taste and adjust seasoning.

FINAL STEP :

Take the dough and divide it in 4 pieces. Flat them down and put some a the stuffing in each one. Close them up and flip them so that they don’t re-open. Let them rise again 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 160°C.

Spread a few drops of water and some sesame seeds on top of each, and cook them in the oven for 25-30 minutes.

Et voilà ! You can eat your chicken stuffed buns with vegetables or french fries… They are perfect for a TV diner 🙂
