How to Make Stuffed Braided Bread
- Start by making the dough. Take yeast and sugar in a bowl, add little warm milk and mix well. Set aside for 5 mins for the yeast to activate.
- Now take Flour, salt, 2 tbsp of oil in a large bowl and mix well. Add in the yeast mix in and the rest of the milk. Mix well using a fork.
- Add little warm water as needed. Knead this to a soft dough. The dough has to be non sticky.
- Drizzle in 1 tbsp of oil and knead well.Cover and set aside to rise for 1 hour.
- While the dough is rising, lets make the filling. Heat oil in a kadai. Add in all the chopped veggies and saute them for 2 mins. Add in chopped ginger and garlic and saute them well.
- Add in peas and mix well. Cook this till the veggies are cooked.
- Add in salt, sugar and chilli powder and mix well. Add in ketchup and soy sauce. Toss well.
- Finally add in spring onion or coriander leaves and mix well. Set aside.
- When the dough is risen, punch the air out and knead it once more. Add more flour if it is too sticky.
- Now take the dough out, divide it two or three portion depending on the size of the bread you need.
- Take one ball and roll it into rectangle, cut both the edges as shown in pic. spoon some filling in the center..and start braiding as shown in picture.
- For a variation, you can add some grated cheese over the filling and seal it for a cheesy version.
- Once you have braided. Place it in a well oiled baking tray which is lined with baking parchment paper.Brush well with milk.
- Bake this for 12 mins in 180 degree C. Now increase the heat to 220 Degree C and bake for 5 to 8 mins this till give nice color to the bread.

My flour is not rising...what is wrong can u plz help me out?????
Aarthi
@Anonymousit is because your yeast is not activated. add very warm water along with sugar to yeast. if u add too hot water then the yeast with die and the dough wont rise
Aarthi
@Ragavicook the chicken first in a lil oil till it is done, then remove them. Then add after the veggies are done.
Aarthi

Hi Aarthi,
The buns came out very well... But whenever I bake buns the tastes is good but the bun doesn't soft as store bought... Buns in your pics seems like very soft and moisty... Any tips to get soft buns?
