Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whey protein isolate
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Warm milk
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 Egg
- 1 lb Lean ground chicken
- 1 Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Curry powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tbsp Butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whey protein isolate, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and one egg to the flour mixture. Stir to form a rough dough.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a pan over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken to the pan and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the curry powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh cilantro. Allow the mixture to cool.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Flatten each dough ball into a disc and place a spoonful of the chicken curry mixture in the center.
Gather the edges of the dough and seal to enclose the filling. Shape into a bun.
Place the formed buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the buns with a clean cloth and let them rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brush each bun with beaten egg for a shiny finish.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter for extra flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy!
