Ingredients
For the Dough
For the Filling and Topping
For Brushing and Baking
- Olive Oil
- Butter at room temperature, unsalted
- Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, instant dry yeast, salt, and sugar.
- Add the yogurt and mix well to combine.
- Gradually add the lukewarm water while mixing to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. This develops the gluten, resulting in softer buns.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 20-30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, heat a grill pan or skillet and cook the Licious Shikampuri Kebabs until golden brown and cooked through.
- Punch down the risen dough to release the air. Divide the dough into equal portions. Flatten each portion and place a cooked Shikampuri Kebab in the center.
- Seal the dough around the kebab to form a bun. Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brushed with olive oil. Let them rise for another 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Brush the risen buns with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, brush the warm buns with room-temperature unsalted butter for added richness and flavor.
- Let the buns cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For an extra burst of flavor, brush the tops of the buns with a mixture of melted butter and a pinch of chaat masala immediately after baking for a fragrant, savory finish.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, let the baked buns cool on a wire rack uncovered instead of wrapping them in a cloth.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the Shikampuri kebabs with spiced mashed potatoes, green peas, and paneer, seasoned with garam masala and fresh coriander.
- For a visually appealing touch and added crunch, sprinkle sesame or nigella seeds on top of the buns before baking.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, try using milk or buttermilk instead of water when making the bun dough.
- Ensure the Shikampuri kebabs are cooked thoroughly before filling the buns to prevent any food safety issues.
- To assemble the buns neatly, cut them horizontally and spread a layer of chutney or your favorite sauce before adding the kebab and other fillings.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover Shikampuri kebabs and buns separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the kebabs in a pan or microwave before assembling the buns again.
