Instructions
 

Making The Dough:

  • In a mixing bowl add the seived flour, yeast, sugar, salt, maggi magic masala and mix well.
  • Add water and bring the mixture together. Once the dough comes together, add oil and incorporate the oil into the dough.
  • Bring out the dough on a clean surface and knead the dough for 5-10 minutes using stretch and fold technique. You can also use a stand mixer to bring the dough together. Shape the dough into a ball before you let the dough rise.

First Proofing:

  • Place the dough in a greased bowl and grease the dough lightly. Cover it or cling wrap or cover it clean towel and allow to proof in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled. It took only 1 hour for me. Proofing time will vary depending upon the climatic conditions of the place
  • If you to want to speed up this process , you can also Instant Pot if you have one to let the dough proof. Hit the ‘Yogurt’ setting on your Instant Pot. The dough will need less than an hour to double in size in the Instant Pot.

Making The Stuffing / Fillimg:

  • In a pan heat oil. Add onion, green chillies and ginger garlic paste. Saute for a minute.
  • Add turmeric powder and maggi masala powder. Saute for a minute.
  • Add the mashed potato, cashewnut, peanut, raisins and salt to take. Mix the mixture well until combined for about 1 minute.
  • Add 1-2 tbsps water, mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes. Take off the heat and keep aside.

Shaping The Dough:

  • Once the dough has proofed and doubled in size, gently deflate the dough and turn out onto a cleaned surface.
  • Flatten the dough and shape the dough into a ball. Divide the dough into equal 12 portions as shown in the video and picture below.
  • Take each portion of the dough, bring together the edges and pinch it down and roll it between your palms of your hands into round smooth balls.
  • Flatten the dough in a small circular shape with your hands. Scoop a tablespoon of prepared potato filling.
  • Fold into a crescent (half moon shape) and pinch the two ends and join it together creating a flower petal. Place these petals in a greased round cake baking tin and arrange them in a circular manner.

Second Proofing:

  • Once the dough has shaped, it is ready for second proofing/rise.
  • Cover the petals again with cling wrap or kitchen towel and place in warm place to rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Once it is proofed, brush the shaped dough with milk. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chilly flakes. The bread is ready to be baked. You also do egg wash instead of milk.

Baking The Stuffed Bread:

  • Preheat oven to 375° F (180° C) for 10 minutes.
  • Bake the shaped dough on a preheated oven @180° C for 25-30 minutes until the top of the bread turns golden brown.
  • Take out the baked bread and immediately brush over melted better.
  • Cover with a clean towel and keep aside for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves .Serve warm or after cooling down completely. Enjoy!
