Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 250 milliliters Warm water
- 100 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 300 grams Chicken breast
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
Gradually add the warm water, low-fat milk, and olive oil, mixing continuously until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the chicken filling. Dice the chicken breast into small pieces.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic in a small amount of olive oil until soft.
Add the diced chicken and cook until it is no longer pink. Add the grated carrot, low-sodium soy sauce, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the chicken mixture from the heat and let it cool.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a circle. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center, then gather the edges and pinch them together to seal.
Place the filled buns seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the buns. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
