Chicken & Potatoes Curry Milk Buns 马铃薯咖喱鸡面包

I just done this bun just now, but I can't wait to share with you, immediately post it here because this bun is so fragrance and soft !! I like to say in Chinese"  软和香到不行的面包" !!
While the buns is baking in the oven, my whole kitchen is full of pandan aroma, smell so good !!
My daughter again asked me to open a bakery shop ^_^ .

I adapted the basic bread dough recipe from the popular Kopitiam milk buns recipe from Crystal. But I made some changes to the original recipe as I reduced the yeast amount (Usually I use 1tsp yeast for 300g-350g of flour ) and I omitted milk powder as I can't find milk powder in my pantry anymore since my kids are grown up,^_^

Updated on 11th July 2013-  This morning I just had this milk bun for breakfast. The bun still tasted moist and soft. I hope you can try out this bun soon. I am going to make with difference filling next time. This photo was posted at my Instagram @ sonianll

To prepare Chicken & Potatoes Curry buns

Overnight sponge dough
215g high protein flour
125g full cream milk (cold)
2g instant yeast (1/2tsp)

  1. Mix all ingredients till a rough dough (I use KA mixer), cover with cling film and store in the fridge for overnight.
To prepare basic dough

90g high protein flour
30g egg (1/2 large egg)
4g instant yeast (1tsp)
3g fine salt (1/2tsp)

Curry leaves
Toothpicks

  2. Add in the butter and knead until dough is smooth, shinning and elastic. Cover with cling film and set aside to proof till double in size.
  3. Punch down the dough to expel air, divide into 50g portions and mould into round balls, rest for 10mins.
  4. Flatten the dough ball into a round disc, spoon filling in the middle, wrap and seal. Roll in ball shape and gently press to form a disc shape. Place on a baking tray. Let it proof for another 45mins.
  5. Wrap each bun with pandan leaf that secured with toothpick. Egg wash the top of the buns, and place a piece of curry leaf on top.
  6. Bake at pre-heated oven at 180C for 15mins.

Thanks for sharing. I am going to make them this weekend.Unfortunately I do not have pandan leaves to wrap the buns. The Chinese supermarket used to have them but not now. I am in California. I have home grown curry leaves. No luck to grow the pandan.

caryn said...

Hi Sonia,

I just tried this recipe and wanted to tell you the result was delicious! Mine did not come out as nice as yours because I didn't have any pandan leaves and I'm apparently really bad at stuffing but it still tasted really good! Do you think I can keep these in the fridge overnight and reheat it tomorrow? I'm worried the bun will get hard or the curry will go bad.

Anonymous said...

Can I steam them instead bake? Thankss

athena_yin2002 said...

Yea-i wanna know too can I keep it in fridge and only reheated it when wanna eat. Sorry tumpang tanya ok.
