Chicken and Mushroom Stuffed Buns are a delicious and comforting dish that brings together tender chicken and earthy mushrooms in a soft, fluffy bun. This recipe is perfect for a hearty snack, a light lunch, or even as a unique appetizer for gatherings. The combination of chicken and mushrooms offers a rich flavour profile that is both satisfying and versatile.

Instructions

Prepare the dough

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, then mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Pro tip: Ensure the water is not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.

Let the dough rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Pro tip: A warm oven (turned off) can help the dough rise faster.

Prepare the filling

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent. Add mushrooms and cook until soft. Stir in the chicken, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.

Pro tip: Ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F (74°C) before adding to the filling.

Add cream to filling

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

Pro tip: The filling should be thick enough not to run out of the buns.

Shape and fill the buns

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle, place a spoonful of filling in the centre, and pinch the edges to seal.

Pro tip: Ensure the seams are well-sealed to prevent filling leakage.

Bake the buns

Place filled buns seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg wash. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Pro tip: Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
