Spicy Chicken Stuffed Bun is a soft bread roll filled with a mixture of cooked chicken, ginger, chilli and coriander. They are quite delicious and would be great to serve warm at a buffet.
I’ve joined ‘Fresh from the Oven’ an on-line baking community. Here is what the bakers say on the public blog:
“Welcome to Fresh from the oven. A bread-baking community where we bake one loaf at a time. Challenges are announced on the group’s private blog on the first of each month and then on the 28th of the month each member posts their bread on their blog.”
For September, Ria of Ria’s Collection challenged us to make ‘Stuffed Buns’ using sweet bread dough and filling it with a mixture of chicken and spices.
Press out the balls of dough to make circles . Add a spoonful of the filling them pinch the dough into a round bun. Leave the buns to rise and prove.
Bake the Spicy Chicken Stuffed Bun
I burned the first batch of Spicy Chicken Stuffed Bun. My oven is quite hot and although I thought I had compensated enough, they were very burnt.
Check the buns early, or reduce the oven temperature to 160C and the time to 6 minutes. Hurrah, successful Spicy Chicken Stuffed Bun!
Vegetarian Option
Fill the buns with a mixture of onion, cooked sweet potato, and green pepper’ Add the ginger and garlic and other spices in the original chicken mixture.

I really like the sound of the sweet potato filling!
I have a fan oven which cooks (and singes) very quickly, I baked mine at about 175o for roughly 10 minutes, whilst sitting on the kitchen floor watching them like hawk!

Those look absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe, I will have to try them soon.

Wow – you must have a killer oven to do that in 10 minutes! I cleaned the window on the door of my oven last week and now I can actually see when I am burning things as opposed to just being able to smell it! 2nd batch look good.

Mmm, love the sound of your veggie alternative and these look yummy! Maybe you slipped on the conversion from F to C on the first batch (assuming it was an American recipe).
