    Masala Buns are freshly baked soft and delicious rolls with lots of spices and herbs. These buns are flavoured with Thyme, crushed cumin seeds and the aroma from the buns is so good, especially my daughter loved it very much. She had two buns at a time with a dash of butter. Here in the recipe, you can adjust spices according to your taste.

    This is my last recipe for this year. Thank you, everyone, who supported and encouraged me throughout the year. I wish the support continues.

    Again, this the last recipe for Bake a Thon which is hosted by Srivalli. Thank you Srivalli for giving me the opportunity to join this theme. I am very happy that I made so many new blogger friends through this.

    • Crushed cumin seeds-1 tsp
    • Finely chopped green chillies-3
    • Red chilli flakes-¼ tsp
    • Thyme – ¼tsp

    Preparation:

    In a mixing bowl of a stand mixer, attached with a dough hook, add flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and mix on low speed.

    Then increase the speed from medium to high speed for a minute or until it forms into a dough.

    Cover and rest the dough for 5 minutes and after that add butter and knead for 5-7 minutes.

    Now cover the dough with kitchen towel and keep in a warm place until it doubles in its size. (it took 90 minutes for me)
    After the dough rises, punch the dough and knead for another 5 minutes.

    Again, cover and rest for 20 minutes. Now divide the dough equally and roll each ball in palms to get a smooth round ball.

    Grease and line the baking tray with parchment paper and place the balls.

    Cover the tray with a kitchen towel and again rest it for the third time to raise. (it takes 30 minutes)

    Meanwhile Preheat the oven to 200°C

    Once the buns rise to brush them gently with water and bake at 200°C for 18-20 minutes.

    Remove the tray from the oven and apply the melted butter to get the shiny gloss.

    Enjoy tasty and delicious masala buns with a dash of butter on it.

      I love home baked pieces of bread and buns with herbs and spices and do it often. These buns look so well baked and crusty. With some butter these will be a hit with some adkarwali chai!!
