Wholemeal curry beef bun and Fried Bun



     Love the colour as well as the flavour from the buns..




tasted OK.


  This is a good experiment.  I was glad that I used chili powder instead of mashed pumpkin.  The colour effect was really beautiful.

  My son is a very fussy eater, if he says not bad at all, I think I passed the test :)







Ingredients
(For the dough)

Plain flour  450g
Wholemeal flour  50g
Curry powder  2 tablespoons
Sugar  2 tablespoons

(mince beef 500g)

Dark soya sauce    1/2 teaspoon

well- risen dough



punch down air for the dough,
roll it up this way



divide into buns, 50g each dough



wrap in the filling, a heaped tablespoon each



going for second rise


Method

1.  Marinade the mince beef, wrap and keep it in the fridge for later used or, set aside for 30 minutes.

2.  Take 3 tablespoons from the lukewarm water and mix with yeast.  Whisk to dissolve yeast.  It should become foamy in a short moment and it is ready to be used then.

3.  In a large bowl, add in flours, salt, sugar, curry powder.  Pour in yeast mixture in the centre of the bowl, add in the remaining lukewarm water.  Stir, quick knead to bring everything together as a rough dough. Cover and leave for 10 minutes.  Gentle knead, fold and stretch for 10 seconds. Cover and leave for 10 minutes.  Do twice more for the 10 minutes interval.  Dough should be smooth and glossy by now. Roll into a ball shape, oil the top and the bottom of the bowl and let it rise for 1 hour, or until it has doubled it's size.

4.  Dust the working surface,  punch down air bubbles, roll dough into a long shape, divide into 50g for each dough, roll it in ball shape again.  Take about one heaped tablespoon of filling and wrap in the dough. Place each on individual baking sheet.  Cover and let it rise again for about an hour.

6.  Set up steamer. Steam at high heat for about 18 minutes.  Turn off heat. Remove buns only after 5 minutes.



final job



  FRIED BUN:
   I had 6 buns left for the next day's breakfast, I turned it into fried buns, tasted equally good.
 



    Method:
    Use a little oil, pan fry them for a minute on medium heat.  Add in very little water, cover with a lid, let it steam a short moment and it is ready to be served.
