Tuna Bun

by - Friday, March 20, 2009



I got this recipe off Kichen Capers Forum, but the actual source was from 'The World of Bread' by Alex Goh. Its easy to make (with the help of Kenwood Patissier of course!). Baking bun takes couple of hours, but most of the time is spent waiting for the dough to proof. Every step after handling the dough, you need to proof before moving to the next step.

But the wait was rewarding! Soft and sweet bun! I've tried stuffing with Tuna, Chicken Curry and bacons. Bacon Bun was the best! YUM!
